Please explain.

The "shouting" by the defender is called a "kiai" [spirit yell]. Theoretically it's supposed to give the defender an extra spurt of energy when executing a technique. It can also serve a variety of other purposes: intimidate the attacker, attract attention, get the air out of your lungs in case your hit [or when you hit the ground], or to make your body less sensitive to the attack as the kiai can raise your adrenaline level temporarily. Some practitioners kiai really loud and others do it fairly quietly. It comes down to somewhat of being a personal choice.

@@senseigk1 thank you for your kind response, some so called teachers of martial arts got offended if they critisize or ask . but you, you answered it maturely ..thank you.. ( mature mentally, and maturity about the art)..✌👍👍

@@k1n752 Thank you for your compliment. Criticism can be a reflection of a potential misunderstanding. It's usually easier and more productive to clear up a misunderstanding than to condemn the person.

To my knowledge the AJA northern region conducts occasional "freestyle kata" competitions where one person defends against random & continuous street attacks for 60-90 seconds & is then scored on total performance under very strict rules for safety reasons. AJA western region hasn't had freestlye competition since the mid-70s due to lack of local dojos [different ryu that practice traditional Japanese Jujitsu] and smaller class sizes. I haven't seen jujitsu v. jujitsu randori since my sensei ran them in the 1960's. Even in a class situation Seki wasn't excited about jujitsu randori, partly because he also taught lots of counters, reverses & escapes. In most cases he referred to jujitsu randori as "chicken scratching" due to technique resistance, counters, and attempted reverses. Any remote sense of success was based on your ability to get ahead of your opponent mentally. I think Seki limited this to brown & black belts. Even black belts suffered the same frustrations. The only rule back then for jujitsu randori was no face contact, but everything else was fair game. Seki also expected upper belts to be wearing forearm, back-of-hand, instep, and shin padding - - even for regular class practice. All ranks were expected to wear crotch protection. Unfortunately jujitsu randori also had a very high injury rate [even in practice] & this was before insurance was required. I don't think there's any insurance company that would cover straight jujitsu randori competition today. If techniques are properly applied there's a very fine line between resistance and injury. I think the only value it really had was to make you more street-effective because you had to remain cool-headed to have any chance of success against a trained opponent.

Willy, Thank you for a super-legit question. Sorry for the delayed response. The scissor [hasami] is useful for holding a person in place on the ground [generally], as other joint-locking techniques [such as the armbar] are used, as was your experience. The reason I said that a scissors isn't useful in and of itself for a submission is that your leg muscles aren't designed to squeeze together. You can cross your feet at your ankles & straighten your legs to get some squeezing of your attacker's torso, but it's not really effective and relatively easy to counter, although I believe those "counters" are illegal in judo competition & perhaps other competitive martial arts. On the other hand, if you use the hasami as a rear throw, scissoring around your opponent's waist and turning your body towards his rear, it's an extremely effective rear throw. If you want to do this please make sure your uke [in practice] falls backwards as you execute the throw. If he decides to or just falls forward, he will probably sustain very serious injury [multiple fractures]. I've seen it happen.

@budoshinjujitsu4581 Oh, now I get it. So I shouldn't have tapped because there was a counterattack I could've used to win. I thought I was done for! 😂

@budoshinjujitsu4581 Anyway, thanks for these videos. Nowadays, it seems that no one cares about footwork anymore! Everyone's always only focused on striking

Thank you for the compliment.

Thank you.

You're very disrespectful and you watch too much MMA and that's why you're Mind is warped. Let me say this, nothing in this video is fake ans every move was either designed to kill or mame a human being; you're best off shutting your mouth and perhaps you might learn something that could save your life 😉, keyboard warrior.

Let me guess you think pulling guard while in your underwear is best

You're probably correct here. Seki [my sensei] had his black belt women wear black belts with a white stripe for a while. I never made that difference. There are also a few women I trained to black belt whom I would not want to meet in a dark alley. They know from the getgo that there are no "rules" in a street fight except survival.

Briston, Glad to have you as a participant. See you next time [9/7]?

@@senseigk1 I should be able to attend Sensei.

Thank you for your comment. You're essentially 100% on point!

Justin, Unfortunately, no. Closest dojo is in Vermont. You can go to americanjujitsuassociation.com for more information.

Justin, I even checked my Budoshin Jujitsu Yudanshakai membership roster & I don't have any members or black belts in New England. Sorry.

It was a long but productive meeting. Sorry you had to go. There probably will be a sequel as some questions & issues have come up.

Angelo, Although you may be technically correct on all points, is it an issue worth raising. I can come up with at least 15 variations on the spelling of jujitsu & there have been entire treatises written on which one is right. [My sensei preferred jujitsu or ju-jitsu.] Both my sensei [who was Japanese] and I, despite the honorary titles that we've been given, simply prefer to be called "sensei". I taught in a high school where 52 languages were spoken & had a large number of ESL [English Second Language] students. It's amazing how many ways the my last name could be spelled & pronounced. But as long as it was done with respect, that's what counts. As Sun Tzu said, in so many words [actually just a few], "choose your battles wisely."

@@senseigk1 Yeah, and both "jujitsu or ju-jitsu" make no sense. There are two historically correct forms if you want to insist: Jiu Jiutsu, the Portuguese transliteration from the first dictionaries trying to translate, Japanese to Portuguese, and Ju Jutsu, the Heppbourn system that most perfectly captures the correct sound. The word Jitsu does/did exist, but is no longer in use since over 1000 years. And has nothing at all to do with martial arts. So, if you know 12 "correct ways" then you either wrong 10 times, or are far more literate than I am :P Your last name is pronounced and spelled: how you define how it is pronounced and spelled. Not up to the student to different :P

@@angeloschneider4272: what I said was I was aware of at least 12-15 different ways to spell ju jutsu/Jiu Jitsu [oops - forgot about the capitalization variations which now doubles the numbers]. I never said they were all correct. And yes, my kids usually spelled my name correctly but pronounced it differently, based upon their linguistic background. I knew they'd eventually get it correct so I never made an issue over it. As any English spelling of Ju Jutsu is it usually is a transliteration my only real concern is that of pronunciation and if that is correct we're all on the same playing field. Also, a particular ryu may choose to have a particular spelling as part of its unique name. I do understand what you're saying but how to spell something in English, with all of it's pronunciation variables [same-sounding words that are spelled differently & may mean the same or different things] should not be a major issue as long as what is said is understood by others. I really don't think there's a battle here, just different spellings of the "gentle art".

Nathan, Thank you for your compliment. I really appreciate it. May I add it to my "testimonials" page at budoshin.com/about-bjj/budoshin-testimonials/ ?

It's amazing that once you get past terminology [in English & Japanese] there is an amazing amount of similarities among "different" ryu of traditional Japanese Jujitsu and upper belts usually have no problems training with each other. Get back to your classes & keep growing in the art!

You can go to budoshin.com/store/ & click on "Store" on the pull-down menu for books, mp4 videos, and other instructional materials. All my seminar videos can also now be found on RUclips under "Budoshin Jujitsu". Please be aware that even with all the videos and professionally printed books, maybe 1/5-1/4 of what my sensei [Jack Seki] taught me is available. Fortunately, as Seki requested, I took notes. Those notes comprise a list of over 850 techniques and variations which I've put together as the Budoshin Jujitsu Densho. There are no pictures or drawings. It's available at budoshin.com/store/books/ & scroll down towards the bottom of the page.

You're more than welcome. Join us again next time.

Thank you.

I agree with Darryn that BJJ is jujutsu, all the famous submissions are already represented in jujitsu and judo. George Kirby also said it well with the statement that we all vary our jujitsu and makes it ”our own”, kind of what the Gracies did. Must also add: thanks for a very interesting talk!

All martial arts have strengths and weaknesses and the key to success is recognizing that fact. Sometimes learning related martial arts, or even different ryu of the same art, can compensate for "weaknesses" also long as you have an environment where you can put everything together so it works best for you. I think the concern expressed about BJJ was not in the techniques themselves, but in the public image created by some BJJ pracititoners and the media which currently sees it as a money-maker. Although Japanese Jujitsu as taught by Jack Seki is my core martial art, I was able to integrate Ketsugo [Harold Brosius] and Arrest/Control techniques [from various law-enforcement agencies I worked with] into it to improve my teaching and self-defense skills. Can I go down to the ground if need be? Yes. However, I've never had a student who has had to go down to the ground it a real street situation. As you said, remaining standing is the best option.

Justin, Although multiple technique flow is an essential element in any Budoshin Jujitsu Dojo, if you'd like to contact Sensei Dave Clark, who taught this element of the summer camp, just send your email address to me at senseigk@budoshin.com & I'll forward your request to him. He's located in Florida.

Excellent & legitimate question. Here's the rationale. Most people are right-handed & that's their strong hand. In a potential street situation trapping your right hand through a "handshake" is a great way to reduce the "victim's" ability to defend himself and can be a very effective lead-in to a physical attack. So, in a street situation it's not a smart move to shake hands with a potential aggressor unless you know how to get out of that hold if necessary. Then again, if you're left-handed [I am], trapping my right hand is not seen as great of a threat. Then again, if "cousin Bubba" tries to impress you [or bring you to your knees with his "death grip", there is a really simple, non-painful move you can do with the trapped hand that will cancel out his death grip & he's still holding your hand and standng. Clue: It's not a lock, hit or a throw, but uses a pressure point, which you press with the TIP of your right middle finger using moderate pressure [where: wrist at base of ulnar; trigger point: flexor carpi ulnaris; merdian point: LU-9]. Maybe I just need to take some pix of this or a video and put it on my website or RUclips as the technique is so "dirt simple".

There's no clear answer here due to Japanese/English terminology interpretations and different ryu [styles of jujitsu]. However, let me try to give a relatively simple answer. If you're referring to "forms" [a series of movements] as in many ryu of karate, the answer is "no". In many Japanese Jujitsu ryu students are taught specific moves or techniques, sometimes called "kata" [forms]. Dependent upon the attack they can put them together into technique combinations "waza". Ultimately the same kata can be used to deal with a variety of different attacks, dependent upon the situation and initial response [distraction technique?] of the jujitsuka. There are some jujitsu kime-no-kata [prarranged forms] compeition where two partners go back and forth with a prearranged and often-practiced sequence. For more specific information you can go to budoshin.com or email me at senseigk@budoshin.com .

Not the same.

What is right?

Justin, Either email me at senseigk@budoshin.com or visit my website: budoshin.com.

Thank you.

No. The 8-mp4 video series takes you up to some place between shodan and nidan. There are additional training videos available at budoshin.com and on RUclips under "Budoshin Jujitsu." Then there's the Densho [my notes] on over 800 techniques and variations taught by Sensei Jack Seki and Sensei Harod Brosious. There are also technique helps on my website and on RUclips.

@@senseigk1 - I'll put everything you got and I already understand being martial from how I grew up during the 80s and 90s and had to protect myself often. I've been an admirer of the arts separating the martial and art so it could be effective. I've always thought this style along with the World Federation Jujitsu is great as well and of course the western styles or sports such as boxing and wrestling in its complete form. Are those notes in a book form so I could buy everything at once?

@@gbody2617 The Budoshin Jujitsu Densho is available as a pdf file at budoshin.com/store/books/ . Scroll down towards the bottom of the page. Techniques are indexed by topic, technique number [order in which Seki and/or Brosious taught them to me] and cross-referenced to techniques in my other published books from Ohara/Black Belt Publications. You can print the pdf file or you can pick/choose individual techniques you want to print. There are no pix or drawings in the Densho though.
