Ground techniques of ancient Samurais 侍 寝技

[@SoldierDrew]

I love the competitive bujutsu footage that illustrates for the newaza specialists that time on the ground in real combat results in getting shanked!

[@silkplayer9]

The Samurais are so lucky that helio gracie invented and taught them ground fighting.

They also lucky that he created the wheel, discovered fire, and electricity. All hail the sun god grandmaster Helio Gracie 🙏🏾🤲🏾🧎🏾📿🛐

This is great stuff. I grew up learning karate and judo and now study and recreate samurai fighting in armor. Awesome to see the pieces connected.

[@Chadi]

Awesome

[@sanderson9338]

Karate and Judo are both 19th century and have nothing to do with unarmed Samurai fighting. Okinawa Karate had no high kicks until absorbed in 19th century by mainland Japan. Judo was invented by Jigaro Kano from Ju jit su and was not a Samurai art. Samurai were first bowmen then spears then Katana then prey to god. Modern people get this so twisted its funny.

[@SuperiorAutocraft]

@@sanderson9338 Are you.... Do you think I'm implying samurai practiced karate and judo? It's a discussion about the evolution of fighting arts.

[@sanderson9338]

@@SuperiorAutocraft yes I do.....if a Samurai went to the ground unarmed he expected to be stabbed or shot with an arrow

[@sanderson9338]

@@SuperiorAutocraft how do you recreate fighting in armour NOW? These people trained daily for 15 plus years before their first battle. How do YOU recreate this you sound moronic.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chadi! Great content 👍👍👍

Thank you

[@gregoryford5230]

@Chadi You might enjoy a video on grappling in armour from HEMA or Buhurt. Some historical European manuals on grappling have similarities with Judo too.

[@Chadi]

I'm currently researching

[@dianecenteno5275]

If you like the European applications, check out " Tolhoffers Fechtbuch" a manual on German sword and weapons work written in the middle ages.💮👍

[@liammalarky3483]

Ukemi with a scabbard in the belt is quite different from the kihon. When rolling, the saya becomes the axle and you are the tyre around it. Wing beat break falls involve some quick adjustment of the saya to prevent koshi ori etc. Great fun.

[@Allthetube01]

Excellent research on a very interesting topic. As always Chadi, keep up the good work.

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

A great map to understanding the roots of BJJ . Always liked and *SHARED* . Thank you once again Mr. Chadi .

[@Chadi]

You're welcome🙇🏻‍♂️

[@scarred10]

The roots are in judo not any type of classical jujitsu which was far superior.

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

@@scarred10 Agreed .

[@Lanedar68]

Great video!! Thanks for the history lesson. Some folks really need to understand where this all started from. Gracie jujitsu / Brazilian jujitsu was developed using Kano judo/jujitsu with catch wrestling according to Helio Gracie. Although BJJ has grown the ground game this art form has been around for a long, long time.

[@scarred10]

Helio certainly wouldn't acknowledge any catch wrestling influence,hed say he modified what maeda taught Carlos .

[@omarrodriguez45]

[@nnickattack9363]

Chadi, do you know Junomichi ? That is a French style of judo, created by Igor Correa, one of the first French judokas; Junomichi is based on the primal judo of Kano.

Chadi, do you agree that osaekomi [and all grappling pin techniques] are descended from the ancient battlefield expedient of "finishing off" your opponent with a blade??

[@golangismyjam]

It’s very well known that the graceys learnt from the Japanese judoka and modified the techniques for smaller people and street fighting. Not a single one of them ever disputed that, they tell you to this day in many interviews….

[@Jamie-zs8ok]

Don't let facts get in the way oftheir Gracie derangement syndrome

[@jamesrafael6794]

What good is a martial arts if you could not actually defend yourself. Martial arts is ultimately self defense.

[@retroghidora6767]

It was cool seeing those guys with the weapons and armor, it looked like some of it may have been live practice? Do you know any more about what they were doing?

[@sanderson9338]

Yes during the Japenese reconstruction early to mid 19th century onwards they were creating arts they needed to base on Samurai. Okinawa Karate and original ju jit so diluted we have lost the original fighting components and both are now sports. Side kicks, hook kicks, axe kicks were stolen from Savate in mid 19th century. Judo was a more effective sports style than ju jit su but we lost much in the Japenese reform. Judo is slowly accepting its ground roots, but original and best okinawa Karate is lost as soon as they introduced styles.

[@fahadkelantan]

Chadi thank you for your research. You have confirmed my claim. It's more important to know Strangles, Chokes, and Neck Cranks (Shime-Waza) for self defense than it is to know body submissions. In the battlefield the samurai didn't primarily use armbars or heel hooks. They snapped the neck of the opponent then moved on to the next one. To everyone, please train your Shime-Waza and Osaikomi-Waza. Osaikomi (pinning) if you don't want to hurt the person.

[@jaketheasianguy3307]

Chokes are always better than joint locks for self defense, especially against people that you know such as friends and family. Beside, people who don't train don't know what's happening when you use armbar or leg lock on them, made you stuck in an awkward situation where they keep resisting and you can't legally snap the joints. Those techniques are terrible for restraining and control purpose

[@Chadi]

I have to look it up

[@cthulhu-jitsu7404]

Are you seriously using Serg Mol's Classical Fighting Arts Of Japan as a source? Several of the teachers in the book have, let's say Questionable Legitimately in terms of their styles. The book is not held in very good light by many Koryu experts.

[@junichiroyamashita]

Really? I only heard good things on Serge Mol and his books.

[@eagle162]

I came across a thread where koryu people talk about his book( not talk about this one) pointed out some problems but overall seems to have a good opinion, there's some problems with this book such as with the stuff parts concerning Bujinkan and Chin, but doesn't seem too bad common mistakes that would have been made during this time, the images are the most important things however taken from actual schools or Scrolls.

[@Chadi]

It has great reviews, no book is perfect, but it has an overwhelmingly good reputation, and well referenced in my opinion

[@cthulhu-jitsu7404]

@@Chadi The forward of the book was written by Tanaka Fumon who also has a fair amount of time devoted to him. I don't know if you are aware, but he has a rather dubious reputation in Koryu in general, claiming to be a Smoke of several styles all at once (generally speaking this is a big red flag). I've also heard him referred to as a Kuro Meishi or black business card, which is a bit of a derogatory term for someone who has filled their business card with so many titles that it's basically black. You'll get much better information from "Old School" By Ellis Amdur or the Koryu Bujutsu Series by Diane and Meik Skoss. Much more reliable information.
