Oh man, I can't tell you how nice it is to work on. We hit it HARD but it takes away a lot of the shock and allows us to apply techniques a little more vigorously. Shihan Wood did an amazing job building it.

I agree.

I love the fact that William cares about his students and am sure at great expense he fitted that great anti shock floor system. so you can train harder more realistic. your class looks the best, awesome!

@@davideckhart1123 thanks David! 😊👍

That floor is incredible. Have to think on that, be amazing to have in a practice area.

What's your rank?

@@markd774 25 years is alot of years of dedication

But the teacher also has to teach you how to train sometimes. Also, I have a TON of questions about small circle JJ. Some it looks great, some of it looks fishy, and the founder hangs out with George Dillman (which is a huge red flag).

I take the Japanese kind and yours sounds similar. Mine has the traditional Ju Jutsu curriculum but borrows strikes from karate as traditionally kicks and long punches were seen as tactically disadvantageous.

Sounds like...., Hapkido

German jujutsu what a gem of art you have learned' quite complete in my opinion and I'm thinking of learning it too.

@@arthemas8176 Yes it was very fun. Still thinking about doing it again. The only disadvantage is that you don't do real fights. The reason is that it is usually considered to dangerous. In Jiu-Jitsu you attack all weak points, it basically has no rules. Full self-defense. You break arms, legs and so on. So you never fight, but then you can ask again, is it really useful in fighting when you never practice a real fight? Anyway depends on why you want todo martial arts. Still Jiu-Jitsu will help in defense and doing a sport is great anyway for physical and mental health.

Did you learn from Christian Braun by any chance? I enjoy his books.

Ofcourse because grapling arts are the best

Emir Latinović mind in the gutter a bit

I know what u mean.

@@omarterrazas5398 That’s kinda bias to say. Cuz grappling can get beaten by striking as easily as striking can lose to grappling. It’s always 50/50 when you have an elite level grappler vs elite level striker. It depends on who can take the hit or who could land the first strike. You never know.

@@Shadowrulzalways basically having a good chin or being covered head to toe in oil

Good informative video but I have to say Kano jujitsu has nothing to do with Olympic Judo, nothing at all, it was only at its inception, it is unrecognizable to modern Judo. It is however akin to traditional judo, Inc atemi, chokes, leg and hip locks, it was an all rounder self defence system with great organisation and structure, I would encourage anyone to see why jujitsu was dropped by the military and the police in favour of Jigoro Kano's Judo, look at the matches to decide their fate against the new "judo schools" it was quite shocking, the jujitsu schools were frankly destroyed, this pushed judo to the top of the heap. The "Gentle way" was devastating. P.S. everyone show try and find a club that has an olympian or ex Olympian in their midst, (difficult I know), but it's a revelation and will blow your mind. As a BJJ practitioner amongst other disciplines for many years and a 30yr plus amateur historian on Japanese and Okinawan M.A. Just to add, although it is often written as Kano Jigoro, KANO is his surname, HENCE kano jujitsu, I don't know why I see this as he's known as Jigoro Kano in the Judo world as he was known in Europe. With Respect.

Actually I have the Original and oldest version of Kano “Jiu Jitsu “ in print. Facts - it is the same system. What differs is Japanese Judoka focused primarily on throws. Where as the Brazilian systems focused on grappling on the ground. So agree but I’m my head is this Kempo Fist law (Atemi yawara strikes) are the 3 rd point of the triangle. If you miss 1 leg of a 3 legged chair is doomed to fall.

Not true.. The original Japanese Ju Jutsu is the best together with Judo.

Guerrilla jiu-jitsu

Take judo and learn the Katas first before learning any other style of jiu-jitsu

That mat is amazing to work out. We still do drills to make sure we fall properly but it lets us focus more on the technique when applying but it is great work out on for sure. Thank you for the support and we have more looks at other arts coming soon!

I meant to say that I have trained on vinyl matting and found it contributed to injurys as the mats got damp from sweat. Heavy canvas sailcloth doesn't have that problem. The velcro is a good idea.

Absolutely, the first thing we work on in this dojo is how to fall properly, regardless of the type of floor. We work that every day too. The spring floor is just an added bonus and lets us take a pretty good drop. You are 100% correct on keeping the terrain as a weapon in mind. Dropping an opponent on cement is very likely to end the confrontation on its own, especially if they don't know how to fall properly.

I like BJJ because you can use damn near all the techniques in any other grappling martial art. With that said, the huge focus on the groundwork does mean that just because you CAN use wrestling and Judo throw doesn’t mean you’ll get much time to focus on or implement those techniques.

M T depends on where you go though, you really have to search for legitimate judo schools that aren’t just sport judo focused. Sport judo rarely does ground work, at my judo school we work jiujitsu and actual judo of it’s true nature. And we do a lot of newaza that is progressive.

@@Sketchmedic sport judo it is legitimate, and the "true nature" of judo, it is educational and sporting ... it is with this focus that Jigoro KANO founded judo ... what you call the true nature of judo, is what the Japanese called jiu- jitsu at the beginning of judo, judo applied to sports competition and education they called judo, when applied to real fights they called jiu-jitsu ... that's why, for example, in Brazil it was called by both Brazilians and Japanese jiu-jitsu, because judo at that time in Brazil was used for real fights for money, and that was part of the Jutsu philosophy, not the DO philosophy ... so Ju [do] was used when referring to sports competitions and education, and Ju [jutsu] for real fights, street fights, and fights for money... but in Portuguese Ju becomes jiu to have the same sound as in Japanese ... in English Ju has the same sound ... in the case of judo, it became an international name and everyone uses the version of translation and for English, jiu-jitsu as it is older and less organized, each place translated in a different way, ju jutsu, jiu jitsu, Ju jitsu, etc ...

That makes sense because bjj is newaza judo

No surprise seeing as BJJ originally was pre-world war 2 judo

I’m a black belt in Goju Ryu karate, and I’ve trained in aikido, plus briefly in a couple of styles of king fu, but these days I love training in Hapkido.

Sanuces Ryu is very similar to our Atemi Ryu Ju-Jitsu my instructor was a student of Doctor Moses Powell.

Florindo Visitacion who developed Vee Arnis Jujitsu in his late years, was Dr. Moses Powell's, founder of Sanuces Ryu teacher. Dr. Powell described in an magazine article that Florindo Visitacion ".. can pluck you eyes out quickly". Grandmaster Visitacion was born and raised in Bacarra Ilocos Norte, Philippines.

@@pkicng210 It was Gene LeBelle and Dr.Moses Powell who I read about and made me get into Judo and Jiu-Jitsu ,Dr.Moses Powell's art has a lot of followers I know on Facebook and am friends with

Damn didn’t know all of us are out there. I study with soke little John Davis

That's interesting since the founder of Sanuces is a student of Vee jutsu, im intrigued. thanks for sharing.

...saving our asses for several years now. 😊👍

Sounds like Tomiki Ryu Aikido, and Shorinji Kenpo Combined. from what the systems combined arts stated.

Thank you, I appreciate that and I hope you continue to enjoy the channel!

That's the whole mission of this channel:)

Awesome! Hopefully you'll continue to like the videos in the channel!

Art of One Dojo keep it up!

Yes, they make class MUCH more pleasant to work in lol, especially when I'm just now starting JuJutsu and Judo and I'll be 40 next year, this makes class much more pleasant :D

Hopefully you like what we have up so far, many more in production now. I'd like to ask how you found this channel and what made you check it out? Thanks for your support!

@@ArtofOneDojo That's my buddy, and my mentor, up in NYC. Shihan Nick is head of the Shinjutsu Ryu Ju Jutsu dojo that hosted the Three Mountain Gasshuku 2018 up in Mahopac, NY. Ouss! 😊👍

Awesome! There is so much info about Jujutsu out there is hard to determine what people are interested in hearing. Thank you for the support and I'm glad you liked the video!

Hi John!

Systema has nothing to do with ju jutsu either silat or bsnd,banshay

@@oneguy7202 o.k., how about "like" Ju Jutsu, silat, etc.

@@williamw1332 thiang and silat cant relate because they didnt came from ju justu

@@oneguy7202Don't you think they have very similar techniques to one another, even if they didn't stem from the same roots?

@@williamw1332 All arts have common techniques, the human anatomh kiniology and the things that you can do in a fighting situation is the same from ancient times

Thank you, it has been a very positive experience so far!

Hah! Mee too! That's awesome 😊 Where do you train? Keep up the good work and train on! 👍

Maaifoedie De La Rey yeah, that’s what I wanna know is where hapkido fits into this puzzle

@@christynelong5357 Hapkido is effectively Japanese style jiu-jitsu (but added some judo throws, as well as 'wrist-lock' throws to it), mixed with taekwondo-like kicks. They also incorporate the use of a specific type of cane (with a rounded umbrella-like' top). This style has long fascinated me, but I could never locate a club where I grew up (South Africa) to train in it). A little closer look : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l69lpsWVrtDZZI0.html

It’s no surprise you see similarities :) The kata of karate are filled with throws, chokes and joint locks commonly taught in jujutsu.

@@MajinGaijin yeah that's true. While I did goju, they learned the throws but mostly to higher belts (I was white, yellow and then green), so now I'm able to learn the throws as well. But they are different than in judo for example. Your thoughts on this? Is hakkoryu effective? Or is better to learn judo first and then hakko because hakko is a soft style

I believe karate throws are simplified versions of those found in judo. Karate throws aren’t as clean or formal but conceptually they are the same. I’m personally not familiar with Hakkoryu jujutsu so I can’t comment on that. Personally, I’d prefer to train judo over a soft style of jujutsu, but that’s just me. You do what works for you!

@@MajinGaijin what I love about judo is the fact that you do randori. So you can train your throws to perfection. While ju jutsu doesn't do that. But we do train on resistance. But imo it's not the same. That's also the reason why I quitted karate. In goju we sparred each class. Kumite and close combat (randori). But in shotokan we almost never sparred. So now I do hakkoryu because a good friend of me does that too so I train with him. Although we don't spar, we sometimes roll around lol when I make a mistake where he needs to be controlled on the ground and then he escapes than we roll lol and the sensei laughs. So he admires it I think.

Are there actual kicks in your school?

Absolutely. There are SO many styles and variations of Jujutsu it's incredible. Shihan Wood listed an array of additional arts variations but one could spend years studying how many different styles there are. It's such a rich system.

Until you get into Leon jay “No touch” knockout crap.

osocat haha Yeah, I just can’t believe how many people believe in that crap. It’s crazy!!! Too many movies perhaps?

Thank you! I appreciate your support! We have several more videos in the works right now. Is there anything in particular you'd like to see more of?

@@ArtofOneDojo more into reality self defense like Krav Maga.

ain't jkd the martial art developed by jkd.

Hi David, if that is something you'd like to see then I will start scripting something for it :) From my understanding, Kenpo and Kempo is both pronounced "KeNpo". If I'm not mistaken the Kenpo spelling is usually applied to Chinese Kempo. American Kenpo is usually spelled with the N.

@@ArtofOneDojo one guy from hawei change the name of kempo to kenpo, started from china quan fa gi to japan from jaoan to hawei from there to america. Nippon kenpo and 5.1 are really ptactical art i cant say the either from others, shironji kenpo is intresting too

Kenpō is the romanized spelling of 拳法, which is pronounced closer to 'kempo' in Japanese. Since it's difficult to type 'ō' on most keyboards, most tend to type/write 'kenpo' or 'kempo' instead. 'Ken' means fist, whereas 'po' means law. Thus, kenpo means 'law of the fist' in English.

@@911Salvage badass name, nippon kempo and 5.1 kempo are my favourites stykes, kempo has Chinese, japanesse,haiwanes and american style.

I want to see YOU spare Master dave.

Yes always be humble, but my problem is those w/ greater knowledge take advantage of those w/ less. So, I, who wants to be humble must be arrogant.

Hey Buddy, Skepticism is fundamental to life & yes martial arts.

@Ras Alghul meaning what? If attacked you training won't defend well?

@Ras Alghul you honestly think so?

@Ras Alghul wow sorry to hear that.how did you recover

Thank you!

I am familiar with Billy Doak Shihan. I never knew him, but am familiar with the system. The style has dojos in both U.K. and Wales I think, but am not sure.

Jujutsu is an amazing system, and I agree with you about some of the street based systems, and San Yama Bushi Ryu was developed in NYC in a very bad area so the students who trained there are definitely street tested. :)

Kumite ryu for 10 years.

You missed Depasquale michael.jr and sr

@@xxdragan1969 You are absolutely correct. The Deasquale's are also American Jiu-Jitsu royalty! Ous!

@@xxdragan1969 Funny thing is I learnt about some of the other guys from their magazine The one with the shiny cover lol good ole days

I've seen it spelled different ways depending on who, and where it's being described. Tomatoes, tamato. You are correct. 👍

We're looking at a bunch of more arts for analysis, we'll definitely keep Aikido on the list :)

If you look at the Aikido don't exclude Tomiki Style.

BJJ is an excellent art, but there is no such thing as one art that's better than all the rest. Striking has a different application than grappling. Some situations grappling is great and will win it for you, but other times you don't want to go to the ground. What if the fight is in a bar? Going right into ground fighting is not going to be ideal. Multiple attackers, broken glass on the floor, furniture...etc. What if you are on stairs, or uneven ground? Sometimes you can end a fight with a strike and not have to risk going to the ground. Personally, I think the best idea is to have a solid ground fighting game AND a strong standup game. That way you're covered either way.

@@ArtofOneDojo true, I personally don't really leave the house much unless its to go to college or to train. In regards to a bat fight defo keep it standing, a street fight should never go to the ground. I train to compete personally so I really believe in a one on one situation grappling is the must. Unless they're better. I'd never take-down Damien maia lmao. But again, street fight only keep it standing all day

@@ArtofOneDojo I think the average person should take boxing. But for training for competition, I'd say muay tai and really focus on grappling. Tai boxing or just muay tai in general is the perfect striking system for someone like me. But if you look at competition, grappling masters are king.

You need to take lessons from him post haste, they are both legends in their fields

Unfortunately Mr Nish died some years back. He would sit with me and crack jokes. He paid some very high compliments. I will always consider him a friend. My lineage is also from Shihan Lowe and Oyama Kyokushin I trained with Ted Wong Jun Fan JKD and Danzan Ryu. And other forms. Malaysian arts. I took the road Donn Draegar took as Kali Kempo Jiu Jitsu compliment each other. And now people use the term Mixed. But all arts are a Mix. Hapkido is Aikido with Korean Kicks - Kempo was White Crane containing Chin Na Gung fu. And on and on. So the wheel turns and what was once churned out gets reinvented and reapplied by the next generation. This is why Parker and Bruce Lee were innovators the “Purity” of an art was just stagnation and limiting. So the more mixed is actually the more traditional.

Unfortunately the master from which I read the article many years ago. Never mentioned the styles/systems of JuJitsu.!@Gasy Mercury

He absolutely is and I feel privileged to have him as my teacher. :)

Thank you Chris, it has been an amazing experience combining arts. I'm really happy to hear that you found a great mix yourself. My limited experience with JuJustu has shown a lot of common threads through the arts, and it's branching outwards and really opening a lot of doors to other arts. I'm going to try to sample as many arts as possible...what is it about Seidokan Aikido that you like the best?

Well for one thing, I love practicing with the people I work with. Because of them, I wouldn’t have learned what I’ve learned nor become the Aikidoka I am today. Next is how they emphasize the element of Aiki within the elements of realistic and updated techniques we practice (hence the partial meaning of seidokan). Lastly, which is an elaboration of the first point, is with the numerous experience my teachers have with other arts. The way how they teach literally bring color to what they teach in a different way, yet maintain a faithful to Seidokan Aikido. It’s like reading a poem or novel in a metaphorical analysis and a socioeconomic approach to understand how society was during the time it was written. I can say the same about Danzan Ryu as well, yet I haven’t studied long enough to actually make any remarks about it. But so far, the people I work with are great! And the approach to how it is taught is mechanical as opposed to the aiki in Seidokan Aikido. Whereas Aikido applies the a technique with their ki, Ju jitsu uses physics to teach the art. But there is so much to learn!

The people you train with can totally make or break an art for you, if you find the right group you get a new family :) Seriously though, congratulations on finding a system that you are connecting with :) I'm about to explore my training further into Shotokan. I have not previously trained in it before but several of my friends have and it shares a LOT in common with Kenpo in a lot of it's fundamental movements so I'm exploring adding that into the mix. I really like the sharpness and focus on patience and detail in each individual strike. I wish you continued success in your training :)

And to you as well Sensei Dan. I look forward to you next video. Heck, just this video alone is motivation to start a channel about what I study. Perhaps one day when time permits and if my teachers would allow me to do so I might consider it. 🤙🏼

Please let me know if you do, you'll have your first subscriber :)

I have a LOT of respect for people who do that. You have to really be vigilante in your techniques because those surfaces aren't as forgiving.

Awesome! How long has you been training in it? I'm about two months into my San Yama Bushi Ryu training and I absolutely love it so far. Thank you for the supporting words!

Art of One Dojo Hakkoryu for about 3 years and other Jujitsu/aikijutsu for 37yrs

Very nice!

I did taizen ryu which came from hakkoryu.

Agreed, and fortunately I found an instructor who has both in the curriculum :)

Depends on who is teaching it.

Real Judo is not no sport.

Judo used to be a Jujutsu style, derived mainly from Kito Ryu Jujutsu, in fact used to be called Kano Jujutsu (named after Jigoro Kano) or Kodokan Ryu. Now Judo, which I still consider a martial art, has a strong sport orientation, as modern Brazilian Jiujitsu. Jujutsu, on the contrary, is a discipline that is so deep and different between ryu (schools), that we couldn't even classify them!

@@AikidoScholar Kodokan Judo Is no Joke in a real fight..

I have heard of them but will admit I don't know very much about them...yet. Been doing a lot of research because a lot of future videos I'd like to do will involve taking a look at good arts that the mass public might not know that much about.

Pankration is pretty old, I used to train with a Dave Gavone who was an instructor in the style, and was quite talented with it also. It reminded me of Greco-Roman wrestling No Holds Barred kind of style. Excellent all around combat style. Kudo is a style I've not heard of before, or maybe has an alternate name for it as many styles do.

Just looked up Kudo, looks like awesome fun. Cool art. 👍

Mr. Dan that's why I mentioned those two, they aren't as well known to the general public. William- Awesome name first and for most (Williams is my last name) I found out about Pankration back in 2013. With UFC and MMA being mainstream I am surprised that it doesn't have much of a following in the U.S. Kudo looks amazing! I hope it get's a bigger following in the U.S. and more dojo's open.

@@tokenstandpoint93 Thanks SCW! 😁👍

This is a good read, I'm going to take a good look at this, thank you for sending it :)

Awesome! Best of luck with your training!
