"You stay there while I kick you." 😂

My journey in the martial arts was on the opposite end of the spectrum. I was very sickly as a child with asthma and a bunch of allergies, so I was very introverted and quiet. But since studying the arts, I feel more comfortable in my own skin and now help others as a Life Coach and retired public school educator. Thank you for your content brother 😁👍

Nice instructional video 😁👍

Love this! So true.Lol! Matt, I’ve never seen a video of yours like this quite unique. Keep them coming.😂

I get what he's saying but it might come across better if he wasn't looking like a huge dude pulling a kid about

Shower and brush your teeth before class

Love that he doesn't care if people take some of his lessons and add them to their own class. I get if they take a lot of his training, but I just assume people are working off their preexisting training.

I wanted to say that you scare me. The tomiki and judo techniques I use against people in bjj class wouldn't work against your students. I've used tomiki aikido in sparring against people in muay thai but that's another story. The jujutsu techniques you teach them aren't things you learn in a normal bjj class so they'll recognize the things I would try on them. I'm trying to say that the things you teach them are really really good in a roundabout way. Standing I use wakigatame instead of udegatame. Even though I'm a nidan in aikido I'm not very good at kotegaeshi. I don't know what they call it in your jujutsu school but in my style we call a similar technique udegaeshi. I use udegaeshi instead of kotegaeshi.

I'd love to see the ego check jab video

Funny aggressive student story . Had this huge guy with about 6 months training that always went too hard in sparring . I warned him many times but it never took . Finally I matched up with him myself . Sure enough after a few cleans shots on him he tried to shoot a hard double even though we were just working stand up (the floors were carpet over concrete when mats weren't out ) so caught him in a guillotine and choked him out . I don't know what happened but when he came out of it he was in glory land . It was like he was on molly . He wanted to hug me and was walking around in amazement . 2 days later he came back and said he was switching to Tai Chi and wanted to live a life of peace. One of the craziest things I've seen.

That kid does look like a killer lol

I also did Japanese Jujitsu over Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I did Budoshin Jujitsu when I was 13 and loved training in it. I'm planning on doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at the beginning of next year, I love training and learning new things not sure if I'll compete when learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu though.

Black belt in Karate and JJJ, went on to get a Brown belt in BJJ years later . Found Kali and JkD , now mix them all together . Works . Respect Matt

Great video and nice transitions. However, why not anckle pic once you grab the knee and avoid pinching the legs. I am not a wrestler, so mind my ignorance but I don't see the advantage when the base is narrow.

Thx

Whenever a japanese jj guy walk into a bjj gym they always get destroyed. You're in a bullshido mc dojo grandpa.

"I've seen Japanese Jujutsu taught the wrong way." I'm no expert, but I believe that this right here is the reason why JJJ has gotten such a bad rep in the west. Many instructors either do not know the authentic material subject intimately or have mastered a diluted form of the art. To me, Japanese Jujutsu starts and ends with weapons disarm. That was the whole purpose of practicing it in medieval Japan in the first place, to defend against an armed opponent when you lose your weapon in the heat of battle. Sure you can also use it against an unarmed opponent, but mostly only if he is unskilled in unarmed combat. But the emphasis back then was always weapons control and disarm. It's when the later generation of instructors started to move away from weapons work and focus on self defense against an unarmed opponent while transitioning into a sport that the practice of traditional JJJ became disfunctional. And it is here that you end up in situations where a weapon based self defense art is being used against a skilled unarmed opponent and it's no surprise that the unarmed opponent wins the majority of the exchange. It's like using a pair of pliers to hammer a nail. You might be able to do it on small one inch nails, but not on the big five inch ones. You'll need a different tool for that. Which is not to say traditional JJJ is no longer useful, because it still is, but it is more suited for use against an armed melee attack out in the street than in a sports ring or cage against a skilled unarmed combat fighter.

I have a 2nd Dan in BJJA British Ju-Jujitsu Association. I did BJJ first and went to BJJA after and trained for 13 years. I’m now white belt two stripes and I can’t wait for blue when ever that be because it means I can do wrist locks, Calve slices etc Loads of great stuff from JJJ

Dog on the mat man. Red flag dude

Jitsu guy takedown? Some bad habits in your single leg. Not recommended Zitat khabib jitsu big problem no wrestling.

This video has come at a very coincidental time for me, I've recently decided that I want to prioritise my JJJ over my BJJ. My personal reason is, that with the caricaturing of technique that comes with the sportification of martial arts (think the boot scooting, little to no takedowns, lack of striking awareness, no breakfalling etc), I'd like a jujitsu base that isn't restricted and can have all the good stuff from BJJ plugged into it, without any of the limitations, without the silly belt system that's based almost solely on politics and tenure. Thanks for the video.

Matt..your hair is turning white...time on this earth is coming to.an end...you have achieved many things in life..and had felt many rises and falls...now life is almost coming to an end....now let us worship the Lord of the Heavens and Earth....ALLAH I invite you to Islam with all my heart ❤

Basic wrestling is Judo kryptonite. This is coming from a 4th degree Japanese jujitsu instructor.

These takedown plus the framing videos are TRITAC FIRE! Thank you so much for these! Quick help question, I had purchased a lifetime tritak Course membership and when I recently went into use my email and password it did not work and it said I had no access to that page where should I reach out for further help, Prof. Bryers?

Wrestling is such an awesome sport. Though it is difficult and demanding, if you're able to grit down and soak it all up, it serves a great baseline for mma, both physically and stylistically (especially the way the rule set and scoring is orientated). The weight cuts are no fun though, thats for sure. This is another great video, which takes aspects from the sport world and tailors them to real life, self-defense scenarios. I see one of your dogs hanging out, maybe trying to learn a good single leg lol. Seeing them chilling in the background always brings a smile to my face. As always, much appreciation (especially for the defending portion), and Thank you for all of your time, effort, and expertise.

lol, love it. Knives are a PITA.

Unfortunately there are not many JJJ around us.

Hey it's Lee Matt can't wait to be there Saturday

That mat must smell like death

Rulker Gracie? Not sure what you said. But great story.

I love you man

Next next next !! 😫

Just came across your channel today. Your message was very encouraging. I started BJJ a little over a month ago,and Im 61 years old. It gets to be pretty intimidating as the new, old person in class but Im enjoying it. I know my progress is going to be slow, but hopefully, I have the rest of my life to get better. 😁👍

Reminds me of Filipino Kali

all depends on schools hard to beat a good BJJ with a versatile coach and pair it with KB / MT

interesting. all those techniques are aikido essentials. hope haters realize both arts share roots.

I can’t hardly get past the butt scooting thing. BJJ is great, in all other ways though🤔😳

Looking for combat is exactly what I’m looking for. Great vid man 👍🏻

I have always liked the JJJ side of the fence, but there are no JJJ dojos in my area. I've been training in BJJ for four years, and I like to drop into JJJ dojos when I'm on vacation. OSS!! 😊🎉

I started JJJ and Judo in 1997, for self defence reasons. I saw the UFC and thought Gracie was just using Judo. Later I tried Wrestling (not a big thing here in the UK). BJJ when it became way more popular. I did two years of it, I found it utterly lacking and pointless for my needs.

This video stressed me out I have a weak stomach when it comes to broken bones. With that said this is still definitely worth learning.

You forgot to mention the most important thing on leg kicks, ware heavy steel toe boots, especially front kicks to the kneecaps.

Combining Japanese Jujutsu with BJJ gives you everything. Most JJJ systems have joint locking, wrestling, throws, strikes, and weapons. BJJ gives you consistent rolling to keep it real, and the best ground fighting ++. I've very happy with this combination.

So true. Just because bjj demonstrated the effectiveness of the JAPANESE Art most people disregard its origin.

Thanks for sharing mat.

I don't understand why they call BJJ Jiu Jitsu in the first place. BJJ simply focuses on Judo ground grappling techniques and has literally nothing to do with Jiu Jitsu. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is just Judo with better branding and a way too complicated belt ranking system.

There's no such thing as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, all of it comes from Judo newaza, shimewaza etc. Every single move comes from Judo, which is the largest surviving style of Jiu Jitsu in Japan. Maeda was a direct student of Kano and taught the Gracies. Maeda was a Catch wrestler too so some of that is sprinkled in but it's all Judo. The Gracies tried to steal a martial art and sold it to gullible Americans who didn't know the history.

I chose BOTH.

Guys, your jiujitsu is whatever you want to make it all these labels are just sales pitches and they're stupid. What's Japanese Jiu-Jitsu you go to Japan? Some of the best so-called BJJ guys are right there.. people just do what they like. In terms of real life efficacy, I would challenge anyone anywhere to show me he better grappling school than what you see happening right now in the North American no gi scene laid out by guys like the Danaher crew which are renzo Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu representatives or the team over at Atos which are so-called Brazilian practitioners. you're not going to find any Japanese so-called Japanese Jiu-Jitsu people dominating them because it's open competition and anybody wants to show up and put their game on the mat and show what they can do. But we see who's doing it. Wrestlers Elite judo guys and so-called modern grapplest from BJJ.. but I told you get what you mean. I completely 100% get what you mean. A lot of these guys have just turned it into a circus and it sells you know. So it's a cycle of life in martial arts unfortunately. But all in all don't fall for the labels get in where you fit in. Build a complete skill set. Enjoy your training!
