Kosen Judo - Wikipedia says:

Kosen judo is a form of judo adopted by the major high schools and technical schools during the Meiji era (1868 - 1914). Today it is still practised at university clubs in Japan. Kosen judo emphasizes newaza (ground techniques) such as controls, joint locks and strangles more than the most common type of judo does. Kosen judo was most influential to Brazilian jiujitsu.

Interesting stuff!

I had (apparently, wrongly) assumed that the emphasis on ground techniques in BJJ was a modification made by the Gracie family.

Thanks for posting

Very good videos!

The Gracies expanded and improved the Ne Waza from Judo/Jujitsu. I believe that most of the moves themselves can be found in traditonal Judo or Jujitsu to some degree.
