A series of 54 simple jujutsu self defence techniques taken from this traditional japanese martial art syllabus. I'm involved as I gained my shodan with the instructor shown and he called in a favour to document his clubs syllabus, shown here for all to view.

This was filmed in the same low light with the GH5S. This time it was syllabus training where a series of attacks and defences were filmed in sequence.

Because of the dynamics we had to decide best to be in shot all the time vs closer to see the techniques clear. This was the compromise. I mentioned it could appear less dynamic against a black background wearing black clothing. We had little choice though but to proceed.

I had one light on me which I used off centre but the glare of the fluorescents was massive.

In edit in FCPX the sounds were carried across frames to ensure they don't stop dead. The music was picked for traditional context. At first the customer wanted emo music. I tried my best to resist. I did actually try a few out but didn't work.

Grading the footage also wasn't as easy as I had anticipated shooting in Cinelike-D.

All in all a very enjoyable project with a few very dedicated martial artists.

Video was uploaded to the clubs Facebook page natively

    That's a lot of violence aimed towards a bloke trying to shake your hand

    If there's any traditional Japanese jujitsu guys reading this comment, don't give up. This can't and wont become a dying martial art. Keep spreading this wonderful and powerful art. I'm a Kenpo guy and would love to learn this. Us Kenpo practiciners got your backs.

    That green belt is earning his stripes today! Love it...

    This style is very similar to to Jiu-Jitsu techniques I’m familiar with. Many of these are locks and breaks ( the breaking of bones and joints ) along with throws . Extremely effective and should you be on the receiving end a true believer in its effectiveness! Kudos to the Uke !

    That Green Belt knows how to fall quite well. He gets lots of practice!
  • Notice the throws are made without gripping the gi, very important.
  • @a-man3179
    For those complaining, this isn't "training" it's just a simple demonstration. I think part of the reason this style isn't as appreciated these days is that it was swamped by McDojos and hard sparring videos are rare online.

    I love traditional jujitsu. I'm currently practicing BJJ. Traditional Jujitsu was the first style I was introduced to.

    Good stuff! Thank you for sharing! I have been training since the mid 80's and use Jujitsu as my foundation. Love to see others keeping this alive. Train hard and stay safe!

    It's good to see other Japanese Jujutsu guys still out there, we seem to be a dying breed. Great job Sensei, all very good demonstrations of usable techniques. We are in Houston if you guys ever come through town. Houston Jujutsu Academy.

    I'm a black belt in judo and BJJ but people highly underestimate traditional jujutsu. It doesn't receive the credit it deserves. I love how the takedowns does not rely heavily on the gi. ossss. Thank you for this post sensei.
  • @nerlind
    This is one of those videos I'm going to rewatch more than a few times. πŸ™
  • @PARR53
    Japanese Jujutsu rocks.
  • Can't stop watching this video at x0.25 speed. I practise JJJ at purple belt and am excited to start working out these techniques from this clip. Thanks for posting! A real pleasure to watch.
  • @byronandrew23
    Nice to see one of my favourite arts Japanese Jiu Jitsu rather than all BJJ all the time
  • @rodger603
    Total respect for this video and all the techniques. I'm a Shingitai Jujitsu black belt under John Saylor and have nothing but respect for Brazilian Jujitsu but on the street the ground is the last place I wanna be, unless it's actual one on one. I competed in MMA but learned as much self defense as I did cage ready techniques. There 2 totally different areas. Coach even had us striking the same combos but with open palm because knowing from experience, you don't want to break your hand during a fight. Great job on the demos but I know from experience this stuff works its just everyone follows the herd. I'm grateful being a weirdo! Lol you miss out on to much when your closed minded and " normal" lol. Take care and be safe!

    Crip, fluid, effective. Magnificent. Superb demonstration/Instruction.

    This reminds me almost a 100% the taijutsu of Bujinkan, it is very clear that one of the schools Bujinkan is part of was a traditional Ju Jutsu school. This is an excellent video!
