2016 Olympics in Brazil… Where’s the Jiu Jitsu at?
October 2nd, 2009 at 9:59 EST - by Dan
The 2016 Olympics are going to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and the question on my mind is: where’s the Jiu Jitsu at? Personally I am not even going to consider that the International Olympics Committee will recognize MMA as a sport by 2016. Mixed Martial Arts just has too much of a stigma associated with it and even though it is spreading like wildfire all over the world it just won’t be recognized in time. Jiu Jitsu on the other hand should most definitely be recognized as a sport–why the hell shouldn’t it? Now for the olympics, being recognized and actually being in the games is two different things and I don’t expect Jiu Jitsu to be an official olympic sport by 2016. But come on now, this is goddamn Brazil. At least let them have Jiu Jitsu in a parallel tournament like China did with Wushu in 2008.
The thing is that I don’t feel we even have to put up a case for Jiu Jitsu; you would have to be a moron not to recognize it as a sport. Sadly, it appears that the members of the IOC might just be morons. From the MMA Fanhouse article which lead me to all this and the official Olympics website, I found a number of IOC recognized sports. Be aware, some of this shit might baffle your dome.
First of all, there are two sports that are the same shit as fucking Basketball: Netball and Korfball. Seriously? Netball…. As in you put a ball in a net… Just because they use a volleyball instead of a basketball doesn’t make it a different sport.
Behold! NETBALL!
Then of course you got your Korfball, as in I think I just laid a giant korfball in the toilet. This is the same shit as netball except they play it with a damn soccer ball.
Behold! KORFBALL!
Right when I thought the madness was going to stop I found out that they have the same shit for hockey. They got some bullshit called Bandy which is just ice hockey except with a ball, and they got Floorball which is Bandy except on a gym floor. If this is the problem with Jiu Jitsu please give us like five minutes and we will give you a million different variations of it that you can use, fucking IOC.
And then we got the gems. “Life Saving.” Yes, life saving. They didn’t have any information about it on the Olympics site but I always thought that life saving was… well, life saving. I guess it would be pretty cool if it were a sport; they could have a life saving season and whoever saves the most lives gets a free dinner at Applebees. They also got Orienteering where they have a bunch of noobs get lost in the woods and then find their way back. They even have chess as a sport. Now I like chess, but if you got fucking chess then you better have Jiu Jitsu. The most insulting recognized sport they have is tug of war.
I think the ICO members should stop tuggin’ on each others dicks and recognize Jiu Jitsu as a sport already.
RECOGNIZE THAT SHIT!

well they do have judo thats a step in the right direction. Maybe it will become an Olympic sport within the next couple.
Ya, Randy knows what he's talking about. I mean, pretty much jiu-jitsu would be an offshoot from wrestling to the untrained eye, with a new set of rules and regulations. It takes the Olympics long as fuck to do anything, so hopefully we get it in there before the apocalypse.
MMA has blown up in the last few years so I think it might be possible to see it in the near future, or at least before the apocalypse. In addition, I think racewalking (or speed walking) is the most absurd Olympic sport.
Here is some lady racewalking like a dumbass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3GGzq1PIqs
hahah i forgot about that crap. i think some of the events for the regular Olympics and the special Olympics got mixed up somehow.
