Weird? Pretty much.

Dina:
I am sorry about your siesta, he probably did not realize you were asleep. Also, don't use your dogs for mean purposes, that is almost like misuse a Holy Sword.

@Fcrate:
I'm with Dina there. And your dogs could get hurt.
Better build yourself your own polka-one-man-suit and go outside practising. "Oh, my bad, didn't realise your bedroom was so near. I thought nobody could hear me. Oh, you were asleep. Weird, it's already 4 am, but hey, everybody has his own sleeping rhythm."

Fcrate:
Thanks Dina. But isn't the purpose of a dog to be mean? They should protect me, in my opinion, that includes protecting my mental health by preserving my siesta.
@Regen: HEH! I do get up at 4 am, so that's a valid idea. Problem is: I'd get lynched if I did that. I'm really considering releasing the dogs, they're too well trained to get into the chicken coup (most of them) but picking a fight with stray dogs is right up their alley. They'll cause a racket like you wouldn't believe. Also, they won't get hurt. :)

Dina:
Aww, poor doggies. No, they can be protectors but they are not mean. I understand that they can be hunters and yes, eventually attack others but I don't like to think on mean only...not easy to mess with  :)
In other topics, the other day I've seen a TV show which included someone speaking about food in Egypt. They were in a very splendid hotel with a fancy menu including pidgeons. I wish I could have more time to focus in the TV, I had it in the background while I was doing other things. But the host was in some markets too, it seems very interesting.

It's the other way around!

Actually, "judo" is the modern/derived sport (late 1800's) largely (but not solely!) from jiu-jitsu by the founder Jigaro Kano.

Aikido is even more modern, created by "the founder" (O-Sensei Morihei Ueshiba) in the early/mid part of last century.  It is based on earlier systems, including "aiki-jujutsu."  Ueshiba was a very spiritual man, and his art reflects this; it's one of the least "combative" martial arts around.

Finally worth noting is the "Gracie" (also called "Brazilian") style of jiu-jitsu, which is a bit less formalized (and much more groundwork & grapple-centric) than most of the ancestral Japanese styles.  A key figure was actually a Judoka who specialized in groundwork, who introduced the Gracie family to his style.

Jiu-jitsu itself (formalized styles of grapple-centric combat in Japan) is well over 1000 years old, with earliest written records about 1300 years ago, although the name "jujutsu" (or however you want to latinize the spelling) is "only" a few centuries old.
 
Here endeth the martial-arts geekery.  ;-)
