Ther really should be no shame to any practitioner of CMA to practice jiu jitsu. They are simply rounding out what may have been lost over time; or, even better, helping ensure their art's survival in the future.
I refer to call jiu jitsu as Sleeping Lohan technique, a term that arrived to me in a metaphysical epiphany.

bad disconnect dude... that info CANNOT be proven. To date, there is no evidence that japanese jujutsu came from china. There are stories - such and the popular chen gempin story, but there are also holes in that story. There is no verifiable proof.
