ENDNOTE
1. The spelling of jiu-jitsu can be called into question. It appears to me that “jujitsu” is the traditional Japanese art, and “jiu-jitsu” is what the Brazilians started doing, and the differences between traditions are great enough to warrant a whole different name. If you want to argue about it, contact Carlos Loddo.
