Just a question because I'm kind of curious. Does anyone know why BJJ is listed here under "competitive arts" while Judo and TKD are not?
Because we don't have a section for Brazilian arts, but do for JMA and KMA.

Not that it offends me, but wouldn't Brazil be part of the western world?
I thought this was a little funny, too, but chalked it up to the close association that BJJ has with MMA.Just a question because I'm kind of curious. Does anyone know why BJJ is listed here under "competitive arts" while Judo and TKD are not?
Maybe, but is still doesn't even come close when compared to the numbers of people competing in Judo and Taegwondo.bjj has to go somewhere, & it is the fastest growing competiteve martial art, perhaps second to mma.

It seems it might be appropriate to include it under western arts. I dunno, I guess it really doesn't matter, but there are A LOT of people who study BJJ without any intention of competing, or interest in the sport side of it.
But BJJ from what I've seen is always working against somebody so that is about as competitive as you're going to get so I feel its placed correctly.
