Classic Aiki-jujutsu

This video is for those who have an interest in classical Japanese Jiujitsu. I like this video because of its history.

Bah god.

 

I stufied JJJ for a few years before jumping to BJJ. There is a some great stuff out there. the self defense from grabs I still use/teach today!

I love watching traditional stuff. The tradition, culture, etc. I also feel that a lot of good concepts and techniques will be lost by no one studying these arts.

I got my JJJ black belt 6 months before my BJJ black belt.  And sometimes I think I'd like to pursue rank in AikiJJ too, just because I dig the way it helps my conceptual understanding.

Even in the more modern iterations there are lots of useful goodies.  I implement a bunch of Small Circle JJ details, for example, in my BJJ. 

how do you transfer wrist locks to bjj?

Wrist locks are great for BJJ.  When people defend the elbow, the wrist is often available.

If you're asking, with that question, about how I implement SCJJ, then it's larger than just wristlocks.  SCJJ relies on a couple fundamental actions (wrist casting and wrist twisting) and a couple fundamental concepts (floating base, 2-way action, and more), and I use all of those in my BJJ. 

 

I just recently learned my current Bjj coach, a native of Japan, actually trained with the person being interviewed in the documentary for two years.

Incidentally wrist locks do transfer to Bjj... ask Fredson Paixao.

Haven't watched the 2 hour video yet, but from my limited contact with Daito-Ryu Aikijujutsu, I'm going to say that what makes this martial art sing is not it's technique; it's something that, I think, the vast majority of OGers will believe is utter bullshit.

It's the stuff you can't see.
