Looking at this video really makes me miss training here. I started my martial arts career 15 years ago at Hillcrest academy when I was 13 years old, I have since obtained black belts at other schools and am now studying Ninpo Bugei, but NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING compares to the training I have recieved at Hillcrest. It really is the best school for jujitsu...period.
Excellent stuff...actual Jujitsu. It's kind of amazing the amount of ingnorance there is out there about real Jujitsu...they used it to kill each other on the battlefield, not to get their mind to "expand into the void." This is great stuff...
After years of looking on youtube I finally find some Ju Jitsu that is the same as what I do! It seems the Brazillian style has taken over youtube unfortunately... Love your work guys. Cheers.
Very nice techniques.I'm a judo brown belt,and I must say that your demo is very impressive.If your class was near me I'd train with you for certain.Most impressive!
@pastasauce516 This has been addressed earlier in the thread: the fall-back armbar is a demo finish. That's not something I would do on the street. Ironically, some people also complained about the continual stomping of the attacker. That's the way you finish it on the street.
nice work. Good to see more intense applications of techniques with a much less overt amount of compliance in there (there's got to be a bit - it's training after all not a free for all). really liked the application of a throw at 1:08 and the guy's reaction at 2:14 is priceless and shows that it's NOT just cool looking stuff and does hurt... (do JJJ myself so I appreciate the skills here)
I discovered this channel a while ago and I find myself watching these vids pretty often. I'd love to learn this, but there don't seem to be any good instructors/organizations in my area. In my opinion, this art is not only entertaining to watch but is up there with Krav Maga in self-defense potential.
Awesome video's, Hillcrest. A great job by all your students. Excellent techniques. I responded to an earlier comment, agrreing that as a first degree black in Kung Fu San Soo I see a lot of similarities. Keep up the good work.
@Arfat Correct. Always assume that there is one more attacker. The fall-back armbars are shown for demonstration purposes, but you generally want to finish and get up (and get out).
@hillcrestjujitsu I think another correct answer to the "why keep stomping?" question is because it works! In the streets or in real life combat situations, you dont always have time to toss in a jumping spinning roundhouse or a super-badass-capoeira-jumping triple frontflip kick, its stomp to debilitate and see who else is rushing (at least the way I was taught)
Excellent question! We do a drill called the rock-n-block for boxing-style drills (e.g., against repeated jabs, jab/cross), but with a Jujitsu finish (e.g., peel, armbar). There are short-videos on the website for this but unfortunately it's not in this RUclips clip. Also, don't forget the waist-high front-snap kick with the lead foot for keeping somebody off you. It's simple, but effective.
@dragonbut Japanese Jujitsu is traditional standup Jujitsu (more focused on self-defense), whereas Brazilian Jujitsu has a heavy emphasis on ground grappling. Goshin Jujitsu is a hybrid system with boxing strikes and JJ techniques.
@smalltownman73 Not true; yes, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is more ground focused, but Goshin Jujitsu is a modern style of Japanese Jujutsu, which incorporates techniques you see in Judo, Karate, Aikido, and Hapkido. The reason for this is that all these arts are derived from parts of traditional Koryu Japanese Jujutsu. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is actually derived from Maeda's Judo, judo is derived from Tenjin Shinyo-ryu and Kito-ryu jujutsu, Aikido is derived from Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu, etc.
Hey, I've seen alot of videos, and have been to a lot of schools. And I must agree with the above comments, I am also jealous, and wish you had a school near where I live as well. This looks realistic, and practical.
@FishEaster We are a very similar style and are actually even a little louder sometimes. lol The "KIAI" dates all the way back to Koryu Bujutsu and is supposed to help focus energy and increase the strike/techique intensity. It can also startle an opponant and make him hesitate.
this looks truly fantastic. i'm a british newcomer to jujitsu and started last week, and i would very much like to be as good as you guys some day. The "oh god, Jesus!" bit made me laugh though :P
i study BJJ about 15 minutes away from Hillcrest, but i always drive by. they are still an amazing school and i've visited before. for those of you ready to criticize them because it doesn't look like fusen ryu or shindo yoshin ryu need to first learn they're history of jujitsu. if you did you'd know that Goshin is more modern form and deals with attacks we deal with nowadays vs the katas of old. gun disarm knife disarm things like that. learn before you open your mouths and show your ignorance.
You do sustain a certain amount of bumps and bruises doing this, but that's why being able to uke (receive techniques) is so important. It's "the other half of the system," so to speak. To be able to 'give' at the right moment is important not just for technique demonstration, but to improve reaction time (e.g., to get out of the way, or to learn how to take a punch and still keep going).
This kinda looks like our Karate... Guess Jiu Jitsu and Karate's got a lot in common. I loved the attack and defence at 1:07. It was a realistic scenario and technique seemed effective enough to down a big football player, mostly because of the use of momentum. Great vid!
2:11!!!!!!!! "oh God, Jesus!" LOL, that's some serious pain, no joke. and it takes weeks to heal back from a hyper extension injury. great stuff by the way! i love this!!!
@CasualSoul Sorry, my comment was somewhat ambiguous. I was thinking more in a survival mode, not so much from a legal standpoint. Once you have an assailant in an armbar, how do you let go if he taps and still guard yourself from a further attack when you release him? Or from a kimura, omoplata, americana, etc.? Has anyone developed any "street releases" from locks like this that would make it safe to xition to standing without having to dislocate his shoulder, etc?
@kaunas88 This is related to a question that has come up before regarding "rock-n-blocks"... see that video for multiple strikes by the attacker, with the same techniques for defense. As for not resisting, for example, from the first choke defense there is a kick to the groin - which causes even UFC fighters to pause for a second when that happens (though it's an illegal strike in the UFC). There are many loosens in these techniques that you either can't see, or haven't felt.
did something popped or cracked at 0:30 ? do you also cross train with a striking art or do you use regularly atemi waza in your style? do you do ground work and take downs? sorry if i ask to much,just very curious about this,i've always been interested in jjj.
nice... do you guys emphesize on peace and harmony and kindness ? first time i see a agressive but also balanced self deffence art... a lot of good principals seem to be present
@SpiralBJJ I'm an assistant restraint & control tactics instructor for law enforcement officers. In my experience, with proper atemi and technique execution, this wrist locking technique (which is a Kote Mawashi variant I think) can be quite effective in this context. A punch defense is much different. We teach similar techniques to our students. Don't take my word for it's effectiveness though, download a copy of the U.S Marine Corps Close Combat manual and you will find it in there as well.
@KidsKicksforChrist yes, it's been stated many times in this thread that the fall-back armbars are demo techniques. You want to stay on your feet where-ever possible.
What is the move at 1:48 It looks like a version of ude garama.. but the entry is not something im familiar with. I tried to practice this the other day, and I was unsure what you did. I didnt have the video to compare to when I was trying to practice it.
@Ballowall Haha, you like that one too, me too. I was just practicing that in my desk chair, a couple of times. It looks cool and simple and effective.
@gyaldemgizzada It's a rear over-the arms bearhug. Tori grabs uke's groin and uke loosens grip. Tori then turns and gives tiger-mouth strike to throat. Finish with punch to groin.
@hillcrestjujitsu I like some techniques I see in this video, things I could apply in real life. Although most of my formal training is in MMA (combat submission wrestling, western boxing, and muay thai, etc.), I've always loved TMA's and I have used them on the street to win fights. Nothing fancy, just the basics. They really do work, and technique doesn't go to heck on the street if your techniques are good. "Slow makes smooth, smooth makes quick." Train hard. And peace, brother.
@trojanman2k3 re: "taking a dump", everything seems simple until done under stress. This is a street system so we assume there is more than one than one attacker and there could be a weapon. Train for that, and if the situation is safe then the last strike may not be necessary.
@gabrielsburg not stepping over the uke is a good point. One the other point on not enough striking on the ground, comments exist at both extremes on this (e.g., "too much force") and then those that complain about striking instead of an armbar. This has been said before, but the fall-back armbar is a demo technique, on the street you'd want to strike and get up (and clear).
@Ruben1994OL Yes, most excellent!!! But what IF the attacker had his Left Arm DOWN? Or stopped running at tori? Or jumped up and threw a half ass front kick? Just food for thought. Things don't go as expected nor so smoothly in a "real life" situation. I had a football player run at me full steam and tackle me, one time, he hit me so hard I left my feet and went back about 10 ft. But I did a "rice bag reversal", rolled him over, into an armlock. It really hurt!!!
@hillcrestjujitsu what's just as important as technique, though, is training intensity. There have been plenty of other posts on this. Training repetition and intensity makes the technique effective.
@WildWhiteDignity bumps and bruises common, but that's why control is critical. You need to learn control on punches so that you can sink (as opposed to tap) by choice.
@hillcrestjujitsu People just don't seem to get it. These techs are for training and demonstration. To build a repetoire of skills. Does not mean that these are what would be done in a "real" situation. There are nearly an infinite number of possible techs, situations, punches, kicks, locks, etc. that one could do. One needs to be "prepared", and "go with the flow" of the situation. i.e. take what the attacker gives u, then "diffuse" the situation. Shock, pain, injury, blinding, knockout.
Some do, but generally it's not emphasized. Nothing against competitions, but the focus is more on "street self-defense and preservation," which is why weapons defense is a big part of the system. Krav Maga is similarly focused.
@trojanman2k3 Striking is a major component throughout our system. Goshin jujitsu fuses striking to both loosen the opponent in order to perform the defensive tactics, then striking the opponent on the ground assuring he does not get up before the event is completely over. Because this is a street system, always assume that there is more than one attacker and that there could be a weapon.
Thanks for the reply... you know I was looking at it again and I am familiar with this technique, however I normally do it with the opposite arm ie my left arm to lock their right... so it just looked funny to me in the video, doing it right arm to right arm.
@dlvt79 Agree. As has been said many times before, fall-back armbars are demo techniques and it's much better to stay on your feet where-ever possible.
good vid. I got a dan ranking in an aiki/goshin jujitsu system similar to this,very brutal stuff. But I got to say this looks and got the "feel"of kung fu san soo,very similar.
Yes I'm familiar with the etymology of "goshin", it's just when I see "jujitsu" that's usually what I expect as well, not osoto otoshi or seoi otoshi with strikes (b/c those would be judo techniques).
@DemolitionDoc The human body can only move in so many ways all the techniques are virtually identical although the ideas behind them may be a bit different. There are drawings of European fighting techniques going back to the middle ages and they are similar to techniques found in Japanese martial arts.
@hillcrestjujitsu "fall-back armbars are demo techniques" I dont know about that. Ive seen a mate of mine pull it off well in a few street brawls now (though he is the Son of a well known BJJ instructor). If you are good at it and confident you can do it and the opportunity to pull it off presents itself, then I dont see a problem with it.
very nice moves. Most of the wazas are hard, short and not too fancy. only 0:55 and 1:26 which i find a bit excessive while only responding to classic karate style jodan tsuki.
@hillcrestjujitsu And you clearly stated that in the name so I don't understand all the criticism. I think it turned out to be an excellent video and is being very helpful with my writing right now.
beside the fact I'm certain Goshin Jitsu is the name of a kata in Kodokan Judo, Judo came from Jujitsu which that particular kata reflects. This looks pretty much just like a well run Jujitsu school. WJJF teaches similar stuff but alot of modern day instructors don't practice randori enough like the guys in this video do.
@DemolitionDoc I totally agree. The body can only move in so many directions and there are only so many vulnerable places on the body and only so many ways to attack them.
@oldsgtmajusmc Quite True!! My training was never go to the ground, never lead with your head, never bend over, never turn your back. Yet this is the initial and primary thing that BJJ/MMA want to and try to do. Why? Cuz they have Rules which save them from getting their cerebral cortex smashed or their spin broken. But IF u are sure no others, then ok to go to the ground. If u look at Small Circle JJ, they will do wristlock and armbar while on 2 feet or 1 knee, and still scan.
@SpiralBJJ you are right musy thai and bjj are effective for women when it comes to self defence,i do both as well.wingchun is also a good system for womens self defence because of its ability to work close range.
@SpiralBJJ You've missed the point friend, this video is a demonstration of training techniques. For some reason everyone assumes that the techniques one trains in to develop skill and sensitivity are exactly what they expect to pull of in a street fight. Not true. No one (hopefully) expects to grab punch midway through a strike. Street fights are always going to be ugly. But explosive, confident training like this can help you survive, which is your only goal in a street fight.
@pastasauce516 It's true, see one of the comments in the thread. Somebody said "why do that every time? It's so basic" The answer is because it's muscle memory. Practice like you need to do it in real life. If you throw punches sloppy in practice you throw them sloppy on the street, etc.
Very impressive techniques! I'm a brown belt in Budoshin Jujitsu and I can say your techniques are awesome! Keep up the good work!
I really love and respect these videos. I often re-watch them.
Looking at this video really makes me miss training here. I started my martial arts career 15 years ago at Hillcrest academy when I was 13 years old, I have since obtained black belts at other schools and am now studying Ninpo Bugei, but NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING compares to the training I have recieved at Hillcrest.

those are some high ranking belts! and i love the speed and realism in the practice!!! great stuff!!!!!!!!!
After years of looking on youtube I finally find some Ju Jitsu that is the same as what I do!
It seems the Brazillian style has taken over youtube unfortunately...
Love your work guys. Cheers.
From a muay Thai, boxing and bjj guy I say congratulations on great technique and efficiency
Very nice techniques.I'm a judo brown belt,and I must say that your demo is very impressive.If your class was near me I'd train with you for certain.Most impressive!

great training ethic, well performed and executed. Goshin all the way guys.
nice work.

Thank you, I will look that info up. Please keep posting, I enjoy and appreciate the skills displayed.Take care.
I wish we had those mats at my academy they look so much softer. The neck grab was my favorite

Très sympathique ces demonstrations :-).
On réalise bien que nous ne serons pas gênés par le port de l'armure, efficace.
Very good job.
From France.
this is awesome. i learned a couple new moves i havent even learned yet in jujitsu
@Arfat Correct. Always assume that there is one more attacker. The fall-back armbars are shown for demonstration purposes, but you generally want to finish and get up (and get out).

I do karate and a lot of this is similar, but so much difference at the same time. Cool style!
@ronin8996 I'm not sure what you mean. Goshin Jujitsu is a modern, hybrid system of Jujitsu for self-defense. Judo is a sportified version of Jujitsu.
I realy enjoyed the last couple of techniques that worked against a reactive opponent. Very well done Jiu Jitsu.
im glad i learn the style of goshin jitsu, amazing stuff. (2.12) i know how that guy feels!!! any vids of wrist grabs or weapon defences?
@dragonbut Japanese Jujitsu is traditional standup Jujitsu (more focused on self-defense), whereas Brazilian Jujitsu has a heavy emphasis on ground grappling. Goshin Jujitsu is a hybrid system with boxing strikes and JJ techniques.
Great Video, keep up the good work! Where are you guys located?

i like this style. its very direct and effective
@danigotcha fair enough, but what would change no-gi? It's obvious that very few of these techniques are relying on gi-grips.
nice... do you guys emphesize on peace and harmony and kindness ? first time i see a agressive but also balanced self deffence art... a lot of good principals seem to be present
@SpiralBJJ I'm an assistant restraint & control tactics instructor for law enforcement officers.

Very nice Waza !!! Are you guys part of Grand Master Durrants Goshin style ? I see some similarities in what we do, very effective !!!!
Loved the chargeslam at 1:06. Awesome :)
Yes. Hillcrest Goshin Jujitsu in Cleveland, Ohio.
I'm really jealous. It looks like you all bring a lot of intensity to your training. I wish it were the same at the martial arts schools where I live.
These guys go HARD.. love it.
@KidsKicksforChrist yes, it's been stated many times in this thread that the fall-back armbars are demo techniques. You want to stay on your feet where-ever possible.

Very nice techniques and grunts :), my sensei is 8th goshin jujitsu and nice dojo
@Ballowall Haha, you like that one too, me too. I was just practicing that in my desk chair, a couple of times. It looks cool and simple and effective.
@gyaldemgizzada It's a rear over-the arms bearhug. Tori grabs uke's groin and uke loosens grip. Tori then turns and gives tiger-mouth strike to throat. Finish with punch to groin.
@MursuTheMan It's Goshin Jujitsu. A modern version of traditional Jujitsu.
@hillcrestjujitsu I like some techniques I see in this video, things I could apply in real life. Although most of my formal training is in MMA (combat submission wrestling, western boxing, and muay thai, etc.), I've always loved TMA's and I have used them on the street to win fights. Nothing fancy, just the basics. They really do work, and technique doesn't go to heck on the street if your techniques are good. "Slow makes smooth, smooth makes quick." Train hard. And peace, brother.
@ronin8996 I'm not sure I agree with that, it was about joint-locks because the techniques had to work where people were wearing armor.
As a fellow jujutsu practioner (different style, same family) i congratulate you guys for your street defense technique.
Nice, better then a lot of the stuff I see on youtube
@trojanman2k3 re: "taking a dump", everything seems simple until done under stress. This is a street system so we assume there is more than one than one attacker and there could be a weapon. Train for that, and if the situation is safe

I would love to cross train if you would like to as well... I am kung fu and BJJ.. neat drills, do you do much live rolling?
@Ruben1994OL Yes, most excellent!!! But what IF the attacker had his Left Arm DOWN? Or stopped running at tori? Or jumped up and threw a half ass front kick? Just food for thought. Things don't go as expected nor so smoothly in a "real life" situation.

It really hurt!!!
Great to see a PROPER Ju Jitsu school!
I couldn't take all those hard falls and you guys seem pretty crazy on your locks/armbars/etc. how common is injury in your class?
@hillcrestjujitsu what's just as important as technique, though, is training intensity. There have been plenty of other posts on this. Training repetition and intensity makes the technique effective.
@WildWhiteDignity bumps and bruises common, but that's why control is critical. You need to learn control on punches so that you can sink (as opposed to tap) by choice.

Its the best sport i ever gone at.. I have learn sooo many things :-D
Only in 3 years..

@borobei Goshin Jujitsu is a hybrid system, so yes we cross train.
Thanks for the reply... you know I was looking at it again and I am familiar with this technique, however I normally do it with the opposite arm ie my left arm to lock their right... so it just looked funny to me in the video, doing it right arm to right arm.
@drummasterxxx that's the point. You need to train for different situations and different angles of attack.
@hillcrestjujitsu
ok, how long does it take to be good at this?
Very nice dojo, my sensei is 8th dan in goshin and looks very similar to our style
@dlvt79 Agree. As has been said many times before, fall-back armbars are demo techniques and it's much better to stay on your feet where-ever possible.
How thick are your mats? They seem softer than tatami, but harder than a crash pad. They seem as if they are nice to take falls on.
good vid. I got a dan ranking in an aiki/goshin jujitsu system similar to this,very brutal stuff. But I got to say this looks and got the "feel"of kung fu san soo,very similar.
@hillcrestjujitsu That's why you finish them off quick right?
Yes I'm familiar with the etymology of "goshin", it's just when I see "jujitsu" that's usually what I expect as well, not osoto otoshi or seoi otoshi with strikes (b/c those would be judo techniques).
He'll take that as a compliment. He's been practicing 40 years. :-)
@smalltownman73 that's because this isn't 100% traditional Japanese Jujitsu. This is Goshin Jujitsu.
that really is a good looking dojo, very roomy, i like that.
@DemolitionDoc The human body can only move in so many ways all the techniques are virtually identical although the ideas behind them may be a bit different.

And you clearly stated that in the name so I don't understand all the criticism.
I think it turned out to be an excellent video and is being very helpful with my writing right now.
beside the fact I'm certain Goshin Jitsu is the name of a kata in Kodokan Judo, Judo came from Jujitsu which that particular kata reflects. This looks pretty much just like a well run Jujitsu school. WJJF teaches similar stuff but alot of modern day instructors don't practice randori enough like the guys in this video do.
wat are ur veiws on hapkido,would hapkido do me a favour if i took up goshin jujitsu? im wondering which one of the two are better
@DemolitionDoc I totally agree. The body can only move in so many directions and there are only so many vulnerable places on the body and only so many ways to attack them.
@oldsgtmajusmc Quite True!! My training was never go to the ground, never lead with your head, never bend over, never turn your back. Yet this is the initial and primary thing that BJJ/MMA want to and try to do. Why? Cuz they have Rules which save them from getting their cerebral cortex smashed or their spin broken. But IF u are sure no others, then ok to go to the ground. If u look at Small Circle JJ, they will do wristlock and armbar while on 2 feet or 1 knee, and still scan.
@SpiralBJJ you are right musy thai and bjj are effective for women when it comes to self defence,i do both as well.wingchun is also a good system for womens self defence because of its ability to work close range.
That's the windmill off the running charge. James and Danny make it look easy but it's not an easy fall to take for obvious reasons.
Hahaha! Awesome stuff! Esp. 1:44 that's one of my favorite moves!
Sensei Jim Meola's father was also a 7th degree black belt in Jujitsu.
@andtom251 this is Goshin Jujitsu
@SpiralBJJ You've missed the point friend, this video is a demonstration of training techniques. For some reason everyone assumes that the techniques one trains in to develop skill and sensitivity are exactly what they expect to pull of in a street fight. Not true. No one (hopefully) expects to grab punch midway through a strike. Street fights are always going to be ugly. But explosive, confident training like this can help you survive, which is your only goal in a street fight.
@pastasauce516 It's true, see one of the comments in the thread. Somebody said "why do that every time? It's so basic" The answer is because it's muscle memory. Practice like you need to do it in real life. If you throw punches sloppy in practice you throw them sloppy on the street, etc.
