absolutely exhausting! thanks for your comment!

100% thanks a lot! ;)

Thanks a lot! I still consider going back to the dojo soon as I haven't been training for a while now! comments like these makes me want to resume this journey! cheers👊

@@joekhourystudio you should absolutely resume your journey. Honestly, your performance in this test is extremely crisp. I think you could go very far with it if you continue. You obviously have good teachers if they are giving you a curriculum that is this comprehensive and versatile. What made you step away from it?

@@WrightFightConcepts Thanks for your support! I actually stopped due to corona. I then moved out of the country. Now I'm in Belgium and I've attended some Bjj classes again. I have some injuries in my knee and ankel wish are making me hesitate to really commit again :S

Thanks a lot! Totally agree!

It's really interesting! can't wait to go back!👊

Thank you Melanie! my journey has been on hold due to Covid19 but I can't wait to resume hopefully soon!

@@joekhourystudio, I understand. I have had to restrict my teachings due to Covid. Luckily, here in the US we have relaxed enough to finally be able to do some partner drills and strike sparring. I am hoping to get my students back into grappling soon.

@@TheVixen8806 hopefully soon!

Thanks buddy! Oss

Thanks man. Good luck on the matts

Yes! I think Nage Waza is the discipline related to Judo. it has lots of similar technique! keep it up :)

Pandemic ain’t never gonna be over. Just sign up and enjoy life instead of waiting for that time before your life passes away

As a black belt in Japanese JJ and Judo this was alot of moves for a yellow belt exam. I have State and National Champions in Grappling and BBJ here at my DOJO. The Japanese JJ art is not used enough at grappling competitions. We use alot of JAPANESE JJ on the feet that people have no answer for. We have broken arms, ribs and collar bones in the last 5 years that I have lost count. BJJ schools need to learn JAPANESE JJ for their students to fall better and fight on their feet more. This is definitely a upgraded version on JAPANESE JJ with some new techniques. Good stuff!!!!

How many days a week do you need to train to get to that level? I have my first session next week and thinking if I want to progress I’ll need more than once a week

@@sophiemeads5243 me personally? I train 5 days a week, usually about 3 hours each day. However I used to train 1 day a week, and I managed to reach green belt doing that for around 3-4 years (green belt is one belt before blue, and blue means you are halfway to black belt) then i amped my training up to 3 days a week, and i got to black belt in another 9 more years, then i started training 5 days a week, got my 3rd dan black belt around 2 months ago. It isnt really necessary to train as much as I have, You could get to black belt training once or twice a week, Im just really passionate about it. A good thing that helped me stay focused, is having some friends ranking up with you, theres no better way to bond with someone than to do it by both being exhausted after your sensei makes you do 150 pushups.

Thanks so much Diane! :)

Nice! enjoy the journey :)

Hahaha well not too practical though. We do have some no Gi chokes though 🤜

Thank you Colin! appreciate it :)

Thanks! Highly appreciated 🙂

good luck!

They teach us self defense, joint locks, throws (nage waza), situational defense, striking and weapons. So yeh, it's basically everything you said together :)

Thanks man! I wish I was keeping it up though! I stopped s while ago. But it was a great experience nevertheless!

@@joekhourystudio the mats are always there when you're ready to come back

Thanks Daniel! appreciated.

​@@joekhourystudioOut of curiosity, how many belts does your system have? This is testing for the first promotion? White to yellow? That's almost a complete syllabus for the first promotion... what are the other ranks tests covering? Fascinating.

@@Daniel-qr1zf White/Yellow/Orange/Green/Blue/Brown/BBlack ! I stopped at Yellow

Hey Ariel! thanks for the comment. Well I haven't been practicing recently due to Covid19. Can't wait to hit the dojo again as our bodies are getting rusty 😆

@@joekhourystudio Yoo man , keep on training . It’s most definitely going to turn out to be great

@@RekonizeOfficial Thank you so much!! hopefully soon will be back!

Thank you don! 👊

Thanks a lot :)

Hey Kyle! Thanks mate! Took me 2 years, used to practice 3 times a week 😊

@@joekhourystudio 👊🥋👊

ouss! how do you know 😂?

@@joekhourystudio Just starting out I got thrown with the 'Can-Can' aka hopping version. Another time I was instructing a lower rank and he picked it up a bit too well... 😬.

This is martial arts, we do a mix of Japanese Jiu Jitsu and Brazilian. We practice at the Guru Academy in Beirut, Lebanon.

Yep, really loaded test! thanks! you too!

Used to practice at the Guru Academy affiliated with Fares Academy. There are 6 belts!

@@joekhourystudio oh, that's why so much is crammed into one test.

Thanks! It is really a good one👍

I miss it so much! really enjoyed these two years of training!

Thanks buddy! Wish you all the best! osss!

100%

@@joekhourystudio looks like it is Japanese jujitsu and BJJ

@@chaptergoat I would agree, most Ju Jutsu schools would not teach most of those ground techniques. Most Ju Jutsu schools are closer to Judo in the ground work...But I say why not... All martial Arts must evolve.... if BJJ has superior ground work why not incorporate some of it. I mean without Ju Jutsu, Judo and BJJ wouldnt even exist.

@@chaptergoat Judo

Thanks man!

I really dont know, it's just JJJ

​@@joekhourystudioit's not jjj

Thanks man, highly appreciate it. I haven't been practicing recently due to Covid, will definitely go back once the lockdown measure are lifted :S

Indeed it is! It has ground and self defense! With situational. I really enjoy it.

not sure about that buddy!

Tai sabaki.

Thanks

hey man! thanks for the comment. I haven't tried Karate! but It's totally true! JJJ is da thing :)

Yep! Bjj n jjj🤜

We used to do no gi session. But it's almost always with gi. But there are some chokes and techniques that work without gi.

thanks for your comment! osss!

@@joekhourystudio tanks for your comments an I like your videos

@@fattiuncognome9425 Thank you!

Goshi...

Thank you! I trained hard

hahah good one! I wish! I stopped this discipline sadly! thanks for your comment though :) oss!

Thanks!

do you have a video of it ? I would like to see it.

Definetly! Check the end of the video. Thanks!

Its Japanese Jiu Jitsu Bruh! you know there is no yellow in Bjj

Brah - what are you talking about? Show me one BJJ video that teaches those techniques and I'll show you a BAD BJJ school lol, also where do you think BJJ came from?

@@joekhourystudio That's why I said its masqueraded bjj. Japanese jiu jitsu doesn't have shrimping, or breaking guard techniques in it. And that green belt needs help with his ukemi

@@tja8211 What are you talking about? All bjj is bad. Furthermore Helio Gracie taught those techniques for self defense. Look at bjj black belt test and you'll see what I mean

@@YoungT703 We definetly do shrimping and breaking guard techniques as well. And this guy has done ukemi for most of the dojo students, I think he's pretty good at it. Anyways, it's your opinion and I respect that. But apparently doesn't align with mine at all :) Ouss!

This is not Japanese jujutsu

@danle3181 what is it then?

It was a great 2 years training!

Why would you call it "Ju-Jitsu" .... the proper way is Ju Jutsu....no "i"'s... and people call it Japanese Jiu Jitsu, because if you say just Jiu Jitsu people automatically assume its BJJ. There is no other reason to put Japanese in front of it other then that.

@@tja8211 jiu jitsu indicates BJJ . Ju- indicates Japanese, Ju Jutsu are both correct if you have a problem with that take it up with the Kodokan. Kano who would know better than you , heused JuJitsu in translation.

@@dickcickle9555 you are incorrect

its japanese ju jutsu and brazilian jiu jitsu, it goes from jutsu at the end to do then to jiujitsu

@@tja8211 agree. Jiu jitsu came from brazil especially gracie family.
