The list of Brazilian jiu-jitsu vocabulary in Portuguese that I mentioned on FightWorks Podcast #98 Alex Brandao Translates BJJ Portuguese originated on the Global Training Report. Make sure to check out GTR as there is lots of great BJJ content waiting for you there!

Great post! A few suggestions:
bota pra baixo: put him down
vale tudo: MMA (people call MMA as vale tudo in Brazil)
New words:
raspada: sweep
Your list is ripped off from the Global Training Report..
@Noam – The first place I found the list was on a piece of paper at my instructor’s jiu-jitsu academy. If it does indeed come from somewhere else, please send me a link and I’ll be happy to provide attribution.
poha = fuck!
Caleb,
I have a list as well, and it is growing everyday!
Today’s addition, cambalhota!

Take care, and I hope you are enjoying your honeymoon.
Speaking of the Global Training Report, its a great site, but Yahoo shut down Geocities a while ago. Does anyone know if GTR has now moved somewhere else? Would be a huge shame to lose all those interviews, articles etc.

John: please let me know what you’d like me to do. I did not know that the content came from your site. I am happy to provide a link to your original report, or even take down the page completely. Whatever you would like. In any case I apologize for the misunderstanding.
Please also see this note.
