Category talk:Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners

Category name
What an odd category name - it reads like it's Brazilian people who practice Jiu-Jitsu. I was surprised to see Paul Walker on such a list! --Larry laptop 19:49, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree that the category name is odd, and needs to be restructured. Also, practitioners should be renamed to -ka.  To follow other martial arts, there need to be sub-categories of Category:Brazilian jiu-jitsuka, including Category:Brazilian Brazilian jiu-jitsuka, Category:Canadian Brazilian jiu-jitsuka, and Category:Australian Brazilian jiu-jitsuka to name a few.  Is there a better way to word these?  Also, is it necessary to even have "Brazilian" in the category name?  "Jiu-jitsu" alone shoud be enough to distinguish this from the Japanese style.  --Scott Alter 17:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * They are two different arts, so you two different categories, 'Brazilian Jujutsuka' (for Brazilians who practice Japanese jujustu) and 'Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Practitioners' for anybody who does BJJ. The key thing is that BJJ is now so different from JJJ that it's not classifiable as a style of JJJ but an art in its own right.
 * 'Category:Brazilian Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners', is going to have to be a category if you want to split by country, the only way it can think to change it is to hyphenate to give '[country] Brazilian-Jiu-Jitsu practitioners'. The use of 'ka' to denote a practitioner is Japanese so using it for a south American art would be inappropriate. --Nate 08:38, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
