The wrestling takedowns of Ancient Samurais (Hoki ryu 伯耆流)

[@ahfmobile]

Well presented and spot on. The pendulum needs to swing back so that the wholesome nature of Judo is not lost.

[@goodtimes2hellyeah169]

The club I go does leg grabs, I find it strange they got rid of them as they’re so effective

[@ahfmobile]

@@goodtimes2hellyeah169 they are indeed effective but taking the leg overlaps too much with wrestling. The up side is the spectacular throws we regularly see. The down side is that Judo is diminished. I would like to see leg grabbing waza allowed in lower level competition and not at elite level.

[@Peekingduck]

Oh man, your channel is very quickly becoming one of my favorite channels on you tube. I do an old classic weapons martial art and this comparison between jujutsu and judo was so informative to get.

[@Chadi]

I really appreciate it

[@solarhoney]

Monsieur Chadi has earned a terrific reputation for high integrity to pure classical Judo while yet being very open minded and relaxed. His respect, love and dedication for it all shines bright in the quality of his each and every video. I find him super inspiring and even though he remains grounded and humble his all-encompassing knowledge is there for all of us to see.

[@Chadi]

@@solarhoney i have no words to express my gratitude, i truly thank you 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@solarhoney]

@@Chadi I thank you a million times for just being who you are and the way you are - and even if you did not help us all so much with your videos - still you would be you ! Your work does not add to your value - it is you who are making such valuable work - et , pour ça nous avons tous beaucoup de reconnaisançes. 🙏😊 Miel Surya, Bombay, l'Inde.

One prominent figure in grappling history is Mataemon Tanabe of Fusen-ryu jujitsu school. His fist challenge with Takisaburo Tobari in 1981( rematch in 1982). Holds victories over some high ranking judoka. Including Yoshitsugu Yamashita (one of Four Guardians). With some matches in 1898 and the last in 1900. Although not enrolled into the Kodokan, Tanabe did have heavy influence on the development of ne-waza and Kosen Judo. Another point of why he is relevant is because Fusen-ryu jujitsu is full system with weapons, unarmed combat. But what do I know.

[@Mr.Smiley_J]

I can't stop laughing at the guy's face at 2:42 "hehehe, I've got you now..."

[@ryan5839]

Awesome Video. Chadi makes the best grappling vids out there

[@Chadi]

Thank you so much

[@alLEDP]

The kibisu gaeshi you showed at 2:42 does look a lot like a forgotten throw in Karate called Node Osae. Iian Abernathy explained it really good in his work as pragmatic traditional karateka. You can look the technique up in following video at 3:14

[@alLEDP]

The big difference is that you crush the throat with the gripping hand instead of taking the Judogi

[@acquiesce100]

Amazing, video, Chadi. Your research is just phenomenal. Your channel is my favourite martial arts channel based on facts and logic. Facts which have probably woken a lot of mis-guided souls up.

[@fredazcrate4362]

Chadi I fully agree with your assessment regarding todays sport oriented Judo. Bring back the baned techniques. They are effective and can be executed safely if one is properly trained. And are a boon to any individual interested defensive combat. Continue on your journey lad and God bless you and your family.

[@Chadi]

Thank you

[@solarhoney]

Yes indeed, bring them back, because it is so needed. Question is how !?!

[@rns7426]

I agree Chadi, good video and discourse! Bring it back! Watching Rhadi work is enjoyable!

[@nchawkin]

Great techniques. I met Rhadi Ferguson and Karo Parisyan having breakfast at a hotel in Florida back in 2007. Both very friendly.

[@robcubed9557]

I love this video, some of these techniques have truly stood the test of time. I've personally used the guillotine to submit a larger opponent. I've also had the guillotine used on me when I attempted a double-leg takedown.

[@MartinJutras]

Chadi, that’s one of my favourite video so far!

You see double legs in HEMA longsword competitions as well, so it definitely can apply to swordfighting.

[@iatsd]

Oh, well, if someone says it can work in HEMA then that really is the last absolute word on it. They know everything after all. They're not obnoxious cvnts like those BJJ weenies. No, not at all.

[@chaos_omega]

I was just giving an example of a ruleset that has both swords and wrestling. Not sure why you felt the need to come in here with some sort of snarky bullshit, I wasn't making any sort of comment towards the superiority of one art over another... that shit is all in your head, brother.

[@robertverschueren9136]

like always. Very educative subject with good and clear comment. Keep up with the good work! 👊👊

[@TheCCBoi]

Chadi, how do you find these rare books? I also believe that we need a new competition categories for Judo: Olympic Judo, kubudo Judo (old school Judo and Jujutsu, with leg takedowns, etc), Nezawa Judo and free Judo (free grappling). This would reunite the BJJ and Judo and allow the effective older techniques to be reintegrated back into the sport/art.

[@ifitaintaboutthemoneydontb5076]

I like this thought. A holistic martial art I guess

[@Veritas-dq2hs]

Just allow all takedowns and submissions... But we kind of already have that, it's submission wrestling.

[@trailerguy5146]

What?! I did not expect the guillotínelo to be ancient like that. Awesome

[@asengeorgiev7848]

The kubisi gaeshi at 2:42 is the most recommended throw for BJJ as well. Though admittedly, the single/double leg are used way more AFAICT, despite the guillotine danger mentioned in the video.

[@marksoberay2318]

I would let the Olympic rules as they are, but would create a 'freestyle judo' competition set in parallel. Hobby judokas like me would benefit immensely from it, as the real Judo heritage, as a complete martail (well, at leasr grappling) art would be restored. and on the long term it would draw masses into the art as well

[@Chadi]

Kodokan red and white Shiai rules are the best in my opinion

[@cahallo5964]

[@fromsamuraitoscience7184]

Hi Chadi is it possible to get hold of that book? I am writing something about judo and want to integrate some of the old samurai methods

[@jikkenteki]

No issues with the analysis, but for the sake of accuracy it should be pointed out that the techniques shown in this book are NOT Hoki-ryu. They come from Katayama-ryu kenjutsu, which is the parent art of Hoki-ryu and HR never included these techniques. In Katayama-ryu these techniques are credited as coming from Takeuchi-ryu. The book these photos came from uses the name “Hoki-ryu Jujutsu” but such an art historically never existed. The author of the book came across the Katayama-ryu documents that had been donated to the city of Iwakuni by the last head of Katayama-ryu before WWII. He recreated them and published this book showing what he thought the techniques were and called the art “Hoki-ryu jujutsu”. In more recent years he seems to have taken to calling it Katayama-ryu Kogusoku but in either case it’s not a historically transmitted art. The original documents however legitimately show the grappling techniques Katayama-ryu.

[@williambreen4290]

For the past few years there have been discussions about removing the sport of wrestling from the Olympics! With that being said if that becomes a reality do you think that the full technical syllabus of Judo will make a return in competition regarding all the excluded or banned techniques such as leg grabs as well as extended time for ne-waza.

[@epramberg]

Can I say the quiet part out loud? The Olympic committee destroys everything that it touches. Most recently, the committee took the deeply flawed WKF karate kumite and wrecked it by removing most of the takedowns because "it looked too much like judo." This should sound familiar because the committee thought that judo looked too much like wrestling, so they implemented a rule against leg grabbing. Soon, I suspect, they will outlaw swords in fencing because they look too much like javelins. I grieve every time a new sport is accepted into the Olympics.

[@FooFooPanda-v6f]

これは興味深い！この史料は柔術が戦場での組討を想定した格闘技であることを如実に物語っていますね。タックルに来る相手をフロントチョークで迎撃する技術が16世紀から存在していたのには驚きです。 そしてChadi氏の主張に同意します。現代の講道館柔道は双手刈などの実践的な技を禁止するなど、武芸としての柔の起源に反しているようです。近代柔道の存在意義そのものを否定するわけではありませんが、並行して白兵戦術としての柔術も未来に継承していくべきでしょう。それが伝統だからではなく、実戦において有用で効率的だからです。

Even on all over the world, not just japan, wrestling was always been used in sword fight. This is because, people are wearing armor that cant be slashed by bladed weapons, so sometimes the easier way is just wrestling the opponent down

Ancient Samurais? Will the real jujitsu stand up? Most people scoff at Aikido, but it's movements are also based on jujitsu techniques against armed combatants (the founder was a jujitsu practitioner). That is why they have those silly-looking overhand open palm strikes which are actually based on how to disarm bladed weapons. I did both aikido and judo while stationed in Japan for 12 years. All things considered, I prefer judo for its physicality.

[@Michael-yr5oq]

There is no real jujutsu the schools were so different from each other. The ancestor school of aikido is very much not typical of jujutsu. And one of the main ancestors of judo (kito ryu) is extremely unusual as well but judo also had the influence of dozens of other schools making it more like the majority of schools.

[@Shadowrulzalways]

Akido and Jujutsu look nothing alike. Akido is a pacifist art. Jujutsu is aggressive and used for warfare. Huge difference in application.

[@Michael-yr5oq]

@@ShadowrulzalwaysJujutsu schools are very diverse and most don't actually have much to do with warfare. Some look like aikido, most don't. Although most have a subset of techniques that are similar to aikido techniques.

[@jjs3890]

Jujitsu was an aggressive art of war. Aikido transformed aikijujutsu into a study of motion and used a passive nature to reflect Shinto values. Judo transformed jujitsu from a combat art to a sport art. In Jujitsu you look to break something as you throw the opponent on their head or face then stab or choke them to death. Judo allows for break falls, removed small joint manipulations and trachea crushing methods and eventually removed striking.

Sometimes unarmed samurai were successful against a swordsman. Sometimes not. Jujitsu comes from the sword in principles, techniques and methods. Jujitsu was created for the sole purpose to standing a chance against several enemies with edged weapons. And then t did pretty well hence why it stayed around for several centuries.
