Wiki articles can be written by anyone. Tjey are not concise and accurate all of the time.

Why Jujitsu, then? Why not The Brazilian Gentle Art. Or, Gracie Gentle Art? They're small differences.

You speak full Japanese? Hmmmn, say something here and lets have one of our members here who are very familiar with Japanese find out how accurate you are.

You description of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu seemingly being "bastardized", seem to be that of the "pot calling the kettle black"

Maybe you need to heed your own advice.

Yet, it would seem that you strive to change the names of martial arts to suit your interpretations that are incorrect within the culture of origin language.

Hmmm, because Aiki Jutsu has "atemiwaza" included. It would seem that this is a "spinoff" to ONLY included atemi waza. Thus not righteously circumventing other proper studies.
