Goshin Jujitsu self-defense techniques

Compilation of Goshin Jujitsu self-defense techniques (from punches, grabs, chokes, etc.) (hillcrestjujitsu.com)

[@falconseries]

I really love and respect these videos. I often re-watch them.

[@IBurton86]

Very impressive techniques! I'm a brown belt in Budoshin Jujitsu and I can say your techniques are awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@pastasauce516 This has been addressed earlier in the thread: the fall-back armbar is a demo finish. That's not something I would do on the street. Ironically, some people also complained about the continual stomping of the attacker. That's the way you finish it on the street.

[@InkedNinja84]

those are some high ranking belts! and i love the speed and realism in the practice!!! great stuff!!!!!!!!!

[@nephilimz]

Thank you, I will look that info up. Please keep posting, I enjoy and appreciate the skills displayed.Take care.

[@neilthewheelio]

great training ethic, well performed and executed. Goshin all the way guys.

[@redrider89125]

I wish we had those mats at my academy they look so much softer. The neck grab was my favorite

[@toddymo]

Excellent stuff...actual Jujitsu. It's kind of amazing the amount of ingnorance there is out there about real Jujitsu...they used it to kill each other on the battlefield, not to get their mind to "expand into the void." This is great stuff...

[@MooneShadow]

clean crisp techniques. Very effective!

[@mrmastercheif7]

this is awesome. i learned a couple new moves i havent even learned yet in jujitsu

[@phillipkempo]

excellent stuff, great technique and realistic. well done

[@richp860]

These guys go HARD.. love it.

[@Red_Fox_87]

i like this style. its very direct and effective

[@Mrsbrelandsmith]

Looking at this video really makes me miss training here. I started my martial arts career 15 years ago at Hillcrest academy when I was 13 years old, I have since obtained black belts at other schools and am now studying Ninpo Bugei, but NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING compares to the training I have recieved at Hillcrest. It really is the best school for jujitsu...period.

[@Kokujin43]

From a muay Thai, boxing and bjj guy I say congratulations on great technique and efficiency

[@83uoykcuf]

After years of looking on youtube I finally find some Ju Jitsu that is the same as what I do! It seems the Brazillian style has taken over youtube unfortunately... Love your work guys. Cheers.

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@Arfat Correct. Always assume that there is one more attacker. The fall-back armbars are shown for demonstration purposes, but you generally want to finish and get up (and get out).

[@MyS0ngList]

I do karate and a lot of this is similar, but so much difference at the same time. Cool style!

[@ezraa123]

Nice, better then a lot of the stuff I see on youtube

[@JoelHuncar]

I realy enjoyed the last couple of techniques that worked against a reactive opponent. Very well done Jiu Jitsu.

[@billibongojutsu]

Great Stuff Guys ... Respect!!

[@ProzacPreacher]

Loved the chargeslam at 1:06. Awesome :)

[@OXCerberusX0]

im glad i learn the style of goshin jitsu, amazing stuff. (2.12) i know how that guy feels!!! any vids of wrist grabs or weapon defences?

[@bkrdave2000]

Awesome video's, Hillcrest. A great job by all your students. Excellent techniques. I responded to an earlier comment, agrreing that as a first degree black in Kung Fu San Soo I see a lot of similarities. Keep up the good work.

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

Excellent question! We do a drill called the rock-n-block for boxing-style drills (e.g., against repeated jabs, jab/cross), but with a Jujitsu finish (e.g., peel, armbar). There are short-videos on the website for this but unfortunately it's not in this KZbin clip. Also, don't forget the waist-high front-snap kick with the lead foot for keeping somebody off you. It's simple, but effective.

[@SaftonYT]

I discovered this channel a while ago and I find myself watching these vids pretty often. I'd love to learn this, but there don't seem to be any good instructors/organizations in my area. In my opinion, this art is not only entertaining to watch but is up there with Krav Maga in self-defense potential.

[@Sevv9220]

Excellent!

[@bromlinator]

Very nice techniques.I'm a judo brown belt,and I must say that your demo is very impressive.If your class was near me I'd train with you for certain.Most impressive!

[@askaboutRudyV]

@Ballowall Haha, you like that one too, me too. I was just practicing that in my desk chair, a couple of times. It looks cool and simple and effective.

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@ronin8996 I'm not sure what you mean. Goshin Jujitsu is a modern, hybrid system of Jujitsu for self-defense. Judo is a sportified version of Jujitsu.

[@scopeophile]

nice work. Good to see more intense applications of techniques with a much less overt amount of compliance in there (there's got to be a bit - it's training after all not a free for all). really liked the application of a throw at 1:08 and the guy's reaction at 2:14 is priceless and shows that it's NOT just cool looking stuff and does hurt... (do JJJ myself so I appreciate the skills here)

[@goshinpower]

Very nice Waza !!! Are you guys part of Grand Master Durrants Goshin style ? I see some similarities in what we do, very effective !!!!

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@kaunas88 This is related to a question that has come up before regarding "rock-n-blocks"... see that video for multiple strikes by the attacker, with the same techniques for defense. As for not resisting, for example, from the first choke defense there is a kick to the groin - which causes even UFC fighters to pause for a second when that happens (though it's an illegal strike in the UFC). There are many loosens in these techniques that you either can't see, or haven't felt.

[@BenKellyMusic92]

this looks truly fantastic. i'm a british newcomer to jujitsu and started last week, and i would very much like to be as good as you guys some day. The "oh god, Jesus!" bit made me laugh though :P

[@Delmo67]

Great Video, keep up the good work! Where are you guys located?

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@borobei Goshin Jujitsu is a hybrid system, so yes we cross train.

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@JasonRedfield we like to think so. Thanks!

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@KidsKicksforChrist yes, it's been stated many times in this thread that the fall-back armbars are demo techniques. You want to stay on your feet where-ever possible.

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@ronin8996 great, thanks for your input.

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@dragonbut Japanese Jujitsu is traditional standup Jujitsu (more focused on self-defense), whereas Brazilian Jujitsu has a heavy emphasis on ground grappling. Goshin Jujitsu is a hybrid system with boxing strikes and JJ techniques.

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@dlvt79 Agree. As has been said many times before, fall-back armbars are demo techniques and it's much better to stay on your feet where-ever possible.

[@TrinityMartialArts]

2:11!!!!!!!! "oh God, Jesus!" LOL, that's some serious pain, no joke. and it takes weeks to heal back from a hyper extension injury. great stuff by the way! i love this!!!

[@borobei]

did something popped or cracked at 0:30 ? do you also cross train with a striking art or do you use regularly atemi waza in your style? do you do ground work and take downs? sorry if i ask to much,just very curious about this,i've always been interested in jjj.

[@nephilimz]

Very impressive! Do you have any affiliate schools or know of any similar schools in the southern California area? Thanks for posting.

[@KenpoArtsGT]

Very nice techniques and grunts :), my sensei is 8th goshin jujitsu and nice dojo

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@drummasterxxx that's the point. You need to train for different situations and different angles of attack.

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@OXCerberusX0 no wrist-grab clips up yet, but there is a video of weapons defenses on this channel.

[@M3IDEH]

awesome!

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@gyaldemgizzada It's a rear over-the arms bearhug. Tori grabs uke's groin and uke loosens grip. Tori then turns and gives tiger-mouth strike to throat. Finish with punch to groin.

[@shaochiavang]

@hillcrestjujitsu wow, that is pretty good, cus i always wanted to learn some of this Jujitsu stuff, it seems useful

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

Yes. Hillcrest Goshin Jujitsu in Cleveland, Ohio.

[@yrfus]

Très sympathique ces demonstrations :-). On réalise bien que nous ne serons pas gênés par le port de l'armure, efficace. Very good job. From France.

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@ronin8996 I'm not sure I agree with that, it was about joint-locks because the techniques had to work where people were wearing armor.

[@kidt101]

very good!!

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@BrianTKessler Much appreciated!

[@CasualSoul]

@DemolitionDoc I totally agree. The body can only move in so many directions and there are only so many vulnerable places on the body and only so many ways to attack them.

[@CasualSoul]

@FishEaster We are a very similar style and are actually even a little louder sometimes. lol The "KIAI" dates all the way back to Koryu Bujutsu and is supposed to help focus energy and increase the strike/techique intensity. It can also startle an opponant and make him hesitate.

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

You do sustain a certain amount of bumps and bruises doing this, but that's why being able to uke (receive techniques) is so important. It's "the other half of the system," so to speak. To be able to 'give' at the right moment is important not just for technique demonstration, but to improve reaction time (e.g., to get out of the way, or to learn how to take a punch and still keep going).

[@BigMacComic]

@hillcrestjujitsu I think another correct answer to the "why keep stomping?" question is because it works! In the streets or in real life combat situations, you dont always have time to toss in a jumping spinning roundhouse or a super-badass-capoeira-jumping triple frontflip kick, its stomp to debilitate and see who else is rushing (at least the way I was taught)

[@shaochiavang]

@hillcrestjujitsu ok, how long does it take to be good at this?

[@Sevv9220]

MORE MORE MORE MORE!!!

[@Ruben1994OL]

This kinda looks like our Karate... Guess Jiu Jitsu and Karate's got a lot in common. I loved the attack and defence at 1:07. It was a realistic scenario and technique seemed effective enough to down a big football player, mostly because of the use of momentum. Great vid!

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@trojanman2k3 Striking is a major component throughout our system. Goshin jujitsu fuses striking to both loosen the opponent in order to perform the defensive tactics, then striking the opponent on the ground assuring he does not get up before the event is completely over. Because this is a street system, always assume that there is more than one attacker and that there could be a weapon.

[@TheRogueMonk]

nice... do you guys emphesize on peace and harmony and kindness ? first time i see a agressive but also balanced self deffence art... a lot of good principals seem to be present

[@twotetah]

good vid. I got a dan ranking in an aiki/goshin jujitsu system similar to this,very brutal stuff. But I got to say this looks and got the "feel"of kung fu san soo,very similar.

[@djeq721]

Great to see a PROPER Ju Jitsu school!

[@CasualSoul]

@smalltownman73 Not true; yes, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is more ground focused, but Goshin Jujitsu is a modern style of Japanese Jujutsu, which incorporates techniques you see in Judo, Karate, Aikido, and Hapkido. The reason for this is that all these arts are derived from parts of traditional Koryu Japanese Jujutsu. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is actually derived from Maeda's Judo, judo is derived from Tenjin Shinyo-ryu and Kito-ryu jujutsu, Aikido is derived from Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu, etc.

[@brentshiver777]

What is the move at 1:48 It looks like a version of ude garama.. but the entry is not something im familiar with. I tried to practice this the other day, and I was unsure what you did. I didnt have the video to compare to when I was trying to practice it.

[@BrianTKessler]

I'm really jealous. It looks like you all bring a lot of intensity to your training. I wish it were the same at the martial arts schools where I live.

[@qjtuber123]

Hey, I've seen alot of videos, and have been to a lot of schools. And I must agree with the above comments, I am also jealous, and wish you had a school near where I live as well. This looks realistic, and practical.

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@danigotcha fair enough, but what would change no-gi? It's obvious that very few of these techniques are relying on gi-grips.

[@noworriestoday]

nice training

[@ArfooHuroo]

@hillcrestjujitsu That's why you finish them off quick right?

[@brentshiver777]

Thanks for the reply... you know I was looking at it again and I am familiar with this technique, however I normally do it with the opposite arm ie my left arm to lock their right... so it just looked funny to me in the video, doing it right arm to right arm.

[@123ceric]

@Ballowall agreed!

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

Yes.

[@GrecoWrestlerNJ70]

that really is a good looking dojo, very roomy, i like that.

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@WildWhiteDignity bumps and bruises common, but that's why control is critical. You need to learn control on punches so that you can sink (as opposed to tap) by choice.

[@MrPotatoesLatkie]

How thick are your mats? They seem softer than tatami, but harder than a crash pad. They seem as if they are nice to take falls on.

[@carnivalwrestler]

@CasualSoul Sorry, my comment was somewhat ambiguous. I was thinking more in a survival mode, not so much from a legal standpoint. Once you have an assailant in an armbar, how do you let go if he taps and still guard yourself from a further attack when you release him? Or from a kimura, omoplata, americana, etc.? Has anyone developed any "street releases" from locks like this that would make it safe to xition to standing without having to dislocate his shoulder, etc?

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@trojanman2k3 re: "taking a dump", everything seems simple until done under stress. This is a street system so we assume there is more than one than one attacker and there could be a weapon. Train for that, and if the situation is safe then the last strike may not be necessary.

[@EverybodysLOVE]

this is good i wish i could learn it

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@andtom251 this is Goshin Jujitsu

[@yanzodadon]

that looks fun, i wanna do it

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@Cl053tgR0w3r Yes, Hillcrest Jujitsu is in Cleveland, Ohio

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@hillcrestjujitsu what's just as important as technique, though, is training intensity. There have been plenty of other posts on this. Training repetition and intensity makes the technique effective.

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

Thanks! I believe they trained with him a long time ago. Not exclusively, but they trained with him.

[@CrewsComCons]

Nice techniques

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@carnivalwrestler agree. I've said this before in these comments and I'll say it again, the fall-back armbars are demo techniques - good to know, but on the street you want to stay on your feet where-ever possible.

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@gabrielsburg not stepping over the uke is a good point. One the other point on not enough striking on the ground, comments exist at both extremes on this (e.g., "too much force") and then those that complain about striking instead of an armbar. This has been said before, but the fall-back armbar is a demo technique, on the street you'd want to strike and get up (and clear).

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@DemolitionDoc agreed.

[@Yilmaz1231]

Simple et efficace

[@pedro90]

i study BJJ about 15 minutes away from Hillcrest, but i always drive by. they are still an amazing school and i've visited before. for those of you ready to criticize them because it doesn't look like fusen ryu or shindo yoshin ryu need to first learn they're history of jujitsu. if you did you'd know that Goshin is more modern form and deals with attacks we deal with nowadays vs the katas of old. gun disarm knife disarm things like that. learn before you open your mouths and show your ignorance.

[@KenpoArtsGT]

Very nice dojo, my sensei is 8th dan in goshin and looks very similar to our style

[@cinimatics]

Hahaha! Awesome stuff! Esp. 1:44 that's one of my favorite moves!

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

@MursuTheMan It's Goshin Jujitsu. A modern version of traditional Jujitsu.

[@BasiraAria]

Its the best sport i ever gone at.. I have learn sooo many things :-D Only in 3 years..

[@TrungKolokotroni]

I agree with hillcrestjujitsu

[@WildWhiteDignity]

I couldn't take all those hard falls and you guys seem pretty crazy on your locks/armbars/etc. how common is injury in your class?

[@hillcrestjujitsu]

No problem. The loosen is actually a shot under the chin, I mistakenly typed "shin"
