Where do you think Judo Came from?..and BJJ aint light years away from nothin...its recognized more then other styles of jujutsu today because of the Mixed Martial arts, not because the techniques.
I trained in Both Kodokan Judo, and Jujutsu, and BJJ self defense techniques in the 90's and my sensei a 6th degree Black belt in JuJutsu, and a 5th Degree in Judo trained at the Kodokan for judo, and somehwre else in Japan for his Jujutsu. He trained under Carlson Gracie for the BJJ, and also him and his wife trained with Joyce Gracie for Awhile. Initially me and a friend took private lessons for belts I went up to green before i stopped training for belts and skipped all that for lets just say all the good stuff for fighting. When training foor the belts I was required to not only demonstrate techniques but take the test speaking Japanese (not tested on fluency but just knowing the technique names in Japanese) Many times while taking the belt training he would say this or that does or doesn't work well in real situations but it is required for the tests.
Ne Waza simply stated means working on the ground..Judo has some basic submission moves that are from JuJutsu

I just talking about where bjj directly came from. And if you don't think bjj is light years away on the ground you are crazy. BJJ is probably the most evolving martial art of them all. People are coming up with new techniques, escapes and submissions every single day.
