    Wow, what a gem. Moves we used today shown over 100 years ago.

    Sort of just goes to show that there are only so many body parts and they can only be used so many ways; the real development is in game planning and emphasis. The gracies for example focused so much on positioning that despite being basically the same set of moves as the Japanse offshoots like Shooto, the two look totally different.
