Jujitsuka or Jiujiteiro?

How do you call yourself? A jujitsuka or a Juijiteiro?

Jujitsuka is a Japanese words referring to someone who practice jujitsu. But since BJJ is not a Japanese martial art should we call ourselves as a jujitsuka? Or should we use the word juijiteiro instead? Juijiteiro is a Portuguese word meaning Jui Jitsu addict or someone who love Jui Jitsu.

As for me I like the latter, and since BJJ is a Brazilian martial shouldn’t you think we should embrace Brazilian culture instead of it’s Japanese counterpart?
