Choque (meaning “shock”) was a Portuguese word that was frequently used to refer to athletic activities, particularly “ring sports,” as they were well known. Choque: The Untold Story of Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil Volume I covers the Formative Period between 1856 and 1908, the First Boom of 1909 to 1916, the Glacial Age of 1916 to 1928, the Golden Age of 1928 to 1940, the Dark Ages of 1941 to 1949, and the Virtual extinction of jiu-jitsu in Brazil.

Organizational structures, locations, expectations, and cultural norms were developed during the Formative Period. Media, transportation, and technology have all progressed. Paschoal Segreto, the guy who brought jiu-jitsu to Brazil more than anyone else, appeared.

Sada Miyako, the first jiu-jitsu representative in Brazil, and his putative Brazilian disciple Mario Aleixo are profiled in The First Boom. The story continues in 1914, with the entrance of Conde Koma (Maeda Mitsuyo) and his “troupe” of Japanese jiu-jitsu warriors. The Glacial Age follows the events that occurred in So Paulo and Rio between Conde Koma’s virtual and actual retirement and the emergence of Geo Omori, Brazil’s first mixed martial arts super-hero.

The Golden Age began with Geo Omori. Carlos, George, Oswaldo, and Helio Gracie, Takeo Yano, Yassuiti and Naoiti Ono, and many more followed in his footsteps. All of their memorable battles and marketing stunts are meticulously documented.

Jiu-jitsu popularity plummeted in the years leading up to World War II. Professional sports and entertainment of all kinds were limited or adjusted during the war to satisfy the war effort’s aims. Jiu-jitsu was mostly unnecessary. When the conflict ended, jiu-jitsu was replaced by a new style of combat known locally as “luta livre” and generically as “catch.” Jiu-jitsu men had no choice but to adapt to this new reality.

Choque has various appendices that will be quite useful to scholars. They list every known jiu-jitsu representative in Brazil between 1856 and 1949, as well as their opponents, promoters, managers, authors, organizations, and referees, as well as the names and addresses of important venues, gyms, and academies.

A history of all known and verified matches between jiu-jitsu representatives and other stylists is also provided. Unconfirmed but likely matchups are listed separately.

Appendices include a list of teacher-student lineages and a glossary of jiu-jitsu terms used before to 1949.

Choque: The Untold Story of Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil Vol. I, 1856-1949 contains a wealth of fresh information for anyone interested in the history of luta romana, capoeiragem, luta livre, boxing, and catch-as-catch-can in Brazil.
