Many thanks to Leka Vieira, Aloisio Silva, and Taka
for help in constructing this glossary and to Carlos Eduardo Loddo for proofreading and valuable
commentary, and to Pedro Alberto for helpful corrections.
If you want to go to Rio, but
can't, you
will definitely want to read Jiu-Jitsu in the South Zone.
It is the closest thing to being there, other than being there.
