Again, if it is a sport, why is it on the OT board?
RA to move it to MSB and let them sort it out!
Because it's also a martial art and this is also part of self-defense, it's not exclusively a sport.
Which is why I put ''sport'' as 'sport'.

Wiki says it sport and it is full contact
Says its roots are Judo, which is a sport
Polo (calvary) and soccer (infantry) are former military based but now are $$$$ based. If this was still only practiced by a bunch of eastern monks in some impossible to get to location, I buy the martial "art" argument.
Bruce Lee and Karate Kid means it is an "art" no more and $$$$ has taken the lead.
Still does not explain why you have not put Brazilian jiu jitsu in the thread title for more clarity!
