Japanese Jiu Jitsu Yellow Belt Exam

Some clips from my yellow belt exam in traditional jiu jitsu. I am wearing the blue gi.

[@CodaCombatives]

Not sure why all the negative comments. Jujitsu is the mother art. Yes Judo has came out of it as well as BJJ. Remember he is a white belt who is covering the fundamentals of striking, blocking, trapping, small joint lock as well as the gross motor locking. Yes some of the traditional linages of Jujitsu may lack the resistance training that BJJ has but I feel that some are making that shift to that type of training. One has to learn the techniques first, drill them and then add the resistance. For me I have trained in both JJJ and BJJ, and always fall back to my roots in Jujitsu. I work in an ER and most often I use quite a bit of small joint manipulations as well as my other arts, rarely do I go to the ground but have enough training to survive any would be meth out characters that step in our ER.

[@craftyfox1959]

Why would anyone criticize stances there white belts. When you are a white belt that is the exploring stage you perfect as you move up in the ranks.

[@mod_pwn5900]

I'd give you a hug or a high five for that comment. Everyone else are ignorant. Lol

[@scarred10]

Not the point,the techs dont work no matter who does them,just look at that ridiculous mount escape, its entirely illogical.

[@craftyfox1959]

@@scarred10 I know did martial arts for years I hold ranks in three forms.

[@clearcombat]

Japanese jujitsu was created by the Samuri back in the 11th century. It is a mixed art for self defense and for war. The Samuri would use this in hand to hand and then use a dagger to finish off their assilant. People forget this. Judo came from this original art.

[@monitor4728]

It’s clear to me that you’ve just googled this 🤔👀

[@reiul9787]

very good skills for white belts.Good job.Thanks for the video

[@yasminsucary5016]

Thank you so much for this!

[@stidhemw]

Well the construction workers would be in some trouble. And as for the getting jumped part, I would only use a guard if I HAD to. It is part of Jiu Jitsu for a very important reason, which is to learn how to GET OUT from under someone. I am a 6'5 Slav myself and I would knock teeth out until I ended up on the ground...then I would demoralize a few more.

[@zenshinacademy4096]

a very good showing, more skill from this white belt than I see in many other styles with black belts. Why did you stop posting. Would enjoy seeing these exams from other ranks of your school. Hands on is the way to go. Seen too many belt tests where no one has ever been touched during testing.

[@yyekcim]

Thanks for posting this video!

[@demblackfeet]

I love the Grappling arts

[@mbattlecoder]

Good job. Looks solid for yellow belt.

[@kalsion]

The Higher the belt, the more resistance. This is a solid exam

[@Poorscousertommy1892]

Our Koshi nage (Aiki-Jutsu) is feet together, straight posture, No gaps between tore and uke

[@i2ak]

Why such a high grip on the hip throw? I was always taught to grab around belt height

[@44excalibur]

@herbiesnerd Okay, while Koryu Jujutsu did not put an emphsis on striking(atemi-waza) as much as grappling, it did include atemi waza as part of its curriculum, and Takenouchi Ryu is the oldest koryu Jujutsu school currently in existence, dating back to 1532. Kodokan Judo also has stirking, otherwise, the term "atemi waza" wouldn't be needed. Carlos Gracie learned Judo from Mitsuyo Maeda, who was trained by Judo founder Jigoro Kano. Maeda had also studied Sumo, but never took Koryu Jujutsu.

[@muffinman1]

we should be training like this in judo...too much sport creeping in and not keeping true to the martial aspect.

[@Dontdothat5300]

Sport isn’t creeping into Judo - Judo IS a sport. It’s an awesome sport, but a sport nonetheless. If you want more combat/defense then look into a Ju Jitsu school. Or, find an art like shotokan or yoshukai and mix it with your Judo. I believe there is no “perfect” art - each offers “tools” for your toolbox and situations dictate which tool to use. My .02 cents anyway.

[@Kutmaini]

Is this really traditional jujitsu?

[@Viktir123]

@matperry65 I'm a brown belt in Japanese Jujitsu and you definitely have to do full strength randori with each other later on in the belts.

[@delvesdg]

It depends on the particular style and the person. It took about 9 months, about 3 hours per week, at the dojo I attend.

[@PoopClown]

Good exam!

[@HotNitrogen]

Just curious was the hip throw the only throw you had to do for your grading? We have to learn osotogari/gaki and kosotogari...

[@simont9682]

I know this is late but we do ogoshi. Ipon seo nage and o Soto gari for white belt

[@tywainwright1]

How long do you trian vefore you get your yellow belt?

[@proudmasculine]

Sensei is in a tee shirt, jeans and socks

[@koryubugei]

@matperry65 Training in the kata of jujutsu gives one a deep understanding of theory. A deep understanding of theory allows one to have more various in application. The kata preserve techniques and allow them to be taught from one generation to the next. Jujutsu also does free sparing. However, if one trains in only free sparing then that person will have far less understanding of theory and will have a harder time teaching the next generation.

[@tywainwright1]

How long does it typically take to get a yellow belt?

[@TylerLav118118]

I do this every Tuesday night it's great glad I started doing it again I got my yellow belt 2 years ago I could be orange by now :L

[@ralphjustinkeanepacunana7736]

where is this gym located?

[@tannerleblanc9148]

very good! keep it up! i just earned my yellow belt in the same art, no disrespect but in my dojo its vry disrespectful to wear any colored gi until black belt and u can only black gis when ur purple and up... good work though what belt are u now?

[@RadarBellNotion]

After simple O-Goshi, also known as hip throws, you shouldn't be tired. Jiu Jitsu translated means "the gentle art." It should be balance, timing, momentum, and technique. Very little strength, if any, is involved.

[@Kev80ification]

+Landon Liberator Give them a break, they are going for their yellow belt. just beginning. It takes tome to develop those attributes you mentioned.

[@amandah5478]

Of course you will get tired. Have you seen what he's doing? Just constantly getting up off the floor over and over makes you tired. Being the person having it done on them will even be tiring.

[@vjm007]

Is this typical "Japanese" or "traditional" JJ? A judo/JJ school by me is close and half price of bjj. Looks useful and fun.

[@sorearm]

good effort

[@musubironin]

nice, Thedrock420 is obviously an expert in jiu jitsu, and likes to let people know this, you did good, keep training, one day you might be as good as drock, P.S i know what the 420 means so it explains a lot

[@EmiOfTheCentury]

I'm doing a double grading from white belt to orange belt in Japanese Jiu Jitsu on Saturday, and none of the moves in the first two minutes of the video (I stopped there, sorry) are on my syllabus. Is this definitely Japanese and not Brazilian?

[@yujirogoggins4389]

+EmiOfTheCentury I don't know, I train jujutsu as well, but i've never seen some of the moves they train here. How was the graduation btw? Did you make it?

[@EmiOfTheCentury]

They didn't let me stay on the mats to do the double, but I passed into yellow without any injuries or real messing up :) Hopefully trying for the next one in May. thank you for asking!

[@yujirogoggins4389]

I'm glad you made it. Good luck on your next exam!

[@EmiOfTheCentury]

Thank you, and yourself!

[@yujirogoggins4389]

Thanks.

[@djeq721]

@TheDRock420 Not what i've been taught? Obviously a little discrepancy is fine but in the video they are online with the Ukes which isn't the best way tbh

[@2rok334]

@matperry65 Ok, well when you get into a fight with somebody who knows ju jitsu, then you can judge. Watch another video of ju jitsu throws ad you will see why it's useful. The whole point of Ju jitsu is to use your opponents strength against them. Weather they are resisting or not, if they throw a punch or kick, there will be a lock or throw you can use to counter it perfectly. If they resist, it will hurt them more. It is a very, very effective way to deal with a confrontation on the street.

[@gerardjohn123]

Good grading similar to ours but with minor differences but hey it's all good , can't believe the diagreements on here judo bjj and jujitsu are one and the same they all derive from one art , judo is all traditional jj made safer by Kano to great effect and bjj was created by a judoka going to brazil . If you have actually trained in them all you will see the similarities , some should stop being 1 dimensional and see the bigger picture

[@alexanvl]

Came for the Jiu-Jitsu, stayed for the DNB!

[@tattoodrdoke]

Im slighty confused it is taught on the bases the attacker has no knowledge of martial arts or is it designed to compete against same art like in comp Judo or BJJ?

[@boris999222666]

why dont you have your feet together when doing hip throw ?

[@beelz001]

I agreed with you up until that last part. A good BJJ teacher will not tell you it's a sport a good teacher will teach you the self defense aspects of BJJ as well as the sport side of it. BJJ was not created as a sport it has evolved into that.

[@kegs666]

No neck throws?

[@ForsakenedPain]

@matperry65 im a blue belt in this and look THERE GRADING FOR THER YELLOW BELT... wen i did my grading they got the biggest guy there to lift me up (cuz im only 147 lbs he was 280) and start pushing me around and i neck cranked him theyr not gunna expect that for someone goign for there yellow. Also dont judge a fighting style until youve done it for a long time, its like the same at the gym dont judge someones workout until youve done. one more thing no art is greater than another there equal.

[@jamesfrance57]

The music, please! It is necessary?

[@todorpopov8613]

Wait shouldn't there be a form with just punches and kicks

[@criticobr]

Jiu jitsu is the most efficient martial art against 1 oponnent. That's why you gotta train a strike martial art, like kickboxing, muay thai, karate, krav-maga etc. Do you know why i prefer BJJ ? Because i can talk to my oponnent, and make him quit without hurting him.

[@maverick8228]

Judo comming up from Ju-jitsu :)

[@joshp6585]

japanese jujitsu was invented and used by the samurai..though japanese jujitsu practitioners train in katame waza(ground grappling)the samurai didnt have the luxury of taking it to the ground in a one on one situation. going to the ground in a battelfield could mean death.

[@Coinz8]

the art of falling!

[@JESUSISGREATEST]

@TheDRock420 are you sure Judo came from jujitsu?

[@Elhombresanchez]

Good video. But lower the volume on the music.

[@010010ryan]

i guess i was talking about GJJ and BJJ... and as a quick warning, im going to start a friendly arguement lol but based on that time, its going to take you about 3 years to get your black belt.... a black belt is a symbol of mastery, in 3 years, can you really master your art?i kno i kno... there is still room to improve... but ive been doing gjj for the same time as you and am STILL a white belt. ill be a blue belt while your a black, think youll be able to submit me?

[@batfan2291]

People who obsess over BJJ often amuse me with ignorance. There is no "better" martial art and the fact is that if two fighters of equal skill in different arts got in a street fight, the winner will usually be the one who doesn't freeze. However, any good BJJ instructor would tell you that it is for sport and sport arts are generally less effective in real life. JJJ is combat tested and so are most traditional martial arts.

[@Bulldog-fm7ul]

8 years have passed, Are you still training my friend?

[@amandah5478]

I'm hoping he's a shit hot black belt now. I thought he was good for a white belt.

[@AnswersEasy]

Alkhazred1 in Russia makes a good point. These guys are all old and slow and this is sport fighting. In a real fight with a well trained man the fight would be over before they could blink. The man who bends over and reaches out so gently would have had a lock, broken elbow and kick to the nuts in 3-seconds. This is not fighting, it's sport wrestling.

[@BinaryBandit628]

@matperry65 right so let me get something straight when you're attacked or in a fight on the street you're going to go down on the ground and leave yourself wide open for another guy to plant a kick straight into your face......great plan doud.If you ask me judo or bjj is purely a competition sport i know because my friend got the shit bet out of him when he used bjj, a second guy ran over and started to kick him in the face (because he was on the ground doing a lock on a guy who attacked him.

[@cqb2alpha1]

And as I said if you read it properly bjj was brought to brazil by a japanese jiu jitsu teacher!

[@jocelianne]

Filipino Flag on the back !!

[@face.]

@Daedalus294 damn maybe someday ill be able to afford private lessons

[@RogerRabbit123]

@BlackShinobiShozoku Thats not true. for all hipthrows you must have a shoulderwhite stance, because of balance, specially in sparring! when you have your legs together its so easy to counter you with any legsweep like ashi barai. look at older videos from masters like hirano or mifune, they have NEVER their feets together!

[@HairofSteel555]

Notice the Illegal Throat and groin strikes. Street practicality at it's finest. TMA's, this is what they were built for.

[@cqb2alpha1]

The art of Ju Jitsu has evolved from that of the Samurai warrior. The Samurai had to fight in close quarters in full body armour. Judo, BJJ and Aikido are its descendants. All Samurai had knowledge of fighting. The Art itself as with many other Traditional martial arts is very philosophical. Your mind must be strong first, your body is just a shell. There is no way of knowing what skill your attacker has unless it is pre arranged competion fight. That is where stategy comes in!

[@forteastro6996]

@010010ryan honestly. i hate when martial arts give belts like its nothing. groumdfighting is awesome and theres no art like bjj where jjj is similar to many arts

[@tywainwright1]

Why would you pull guard in a fight? Also, even IF someone was stupid enough to pull guard in a fight, a BJJ fighter would armbar him and break his arm faster than his friends could get to him. He'd also probaby use less energy than his friends running towards you.

[@010010ryan]

i do bjj and the way i learned it was feet together toes pointed out, toes assisted in your base and having your feet together made it easier to toss them over. guess its just the difference in our art lol @BlackShinobiShozoku but really? can you not support your own weight with you feet apart??

[@JKT6]

@MAlimurung No

[@Aspimagic2015]

boxing + judo = basic kickboxing + jujitsu = intermediate thai boxing + brazilian jujitsu = advanced

[@elbetox7]

actuallly not i bet you havent trained japanese jiu jitsu nor braziliar ji jitsu norr judo actually the reason we land like that is atually to stop the body from hitting the ground with that force and landing doing that with the arm doesn't hurt if you do the correct technique.

[@scotsdavy]

@mattperry65, Have you ever trained in Japanese jiu jitsu , I think your far wrong and ignorant in what your last comment, it all depends in the person i.e some people will feel comfortable in apply locks and throws in which they would use in street situations, i train in Japanese jiu jitsu and we are a full contact club, so less of the nonsense talk

[@rawmark]

BJJ is only better in a competition manner. For street fighting Japanese Jiu Jitsu wins over BJJ any day of the week. Why, you ask? Because it's a close combat martial arts system whereas BJJ is grappling. So, if 3 guys are attacking you at once can you grapple them all to the ground? No, but with Japanese Jiu Jitsu you have a strong fighting chance and defending yourself. Oh, and remember why BJJ was developed too.

[@tannerleblanc9148]

i cnat explan this in a comment but go to a real dojo and find out...

[@leesdroidaccountharbin9665]

LOL, you do look like a yellowbelt!

[@ticosexy22]

@JESUSISGREATEST Where else?

[@brano737]

I wish my yellow belt was this easy no punches people offering them selves to be thrown and no strikes that is not something that helps them on the streeeeeet for god sake!

[@beta_cat3151]

2 things 1: i am sorry to inform you, but this is not JAPANESE ju jistu. and second, how do you have the blue uniform? that's for senpais.

[@xmalificentx5767]

You do not have to a senpai to be able to wear a blue GI, and yes those are also judo throws he is doing, I know because I train/teach judo.

[@patrickwhite8144]

I can't comment on a lot of this, but I have been doing BJJ intensively for just over a year and your ground-fighting is very sketchy. 3:15 this mount escape would not work in practice because there is nothing stopping your opponent from posting out one of his hands to prevent himself being rolled. Also at 3:07 you don't effectively trap your opponents foot and you simply roll sideways rather than bridging over your shoulder. It might seem like I'm knit-picking, but this is what makes the difference between these techniques failing or succeeding.

[@TM-rh7zs]

Patrick White Remember he is a whitebelt and still learning obviously the technique wont be perfect... Also ive seen these techniques used in bjj lol... Notice how he pushes his hips up grabs the opponent and puts his foot to the side then rolls over? Ive seen that done before... Also on the second one he grabs the GI then puts his foot to the side then rolls over? Either you go to a Mcdojo or you dont actually train bjj

[@raggledaggle721]

You're unfamiliar with jjj. The white belt stage doesn't take as long as in BJJ where you go to blue. The yellow belt is somewhere in between 2 stripes. And Jjj is not focused on the ground. It includes strikes, throws, locks and grappling. You can't improve your groundgame as fast as in BJJ where the takedown is meant to be finished on the ground. It's almost 90% ground, whereas jjj includes standing too.

[@BEAMISHdocd]

They were doing there break falls wrong

[@beta_cat3151]

well that's not white belt.

[@cqb2alpha1]

Yes truly right the samurai developed jiu jitsu. That is so they could move in their body armour. You need to research you facts first!!

[@hmthisisit]

I really hate when people see this as "I do those moves,I fight and I'm tough!" This is a fucking martial ART for God's shake!!! If you can't see the real beauty in it then leave it be.Go talk about sex,food or money...it suits you better. (I'm not refering to the guy that posted the video)

[@rallyivan1234]

LOL

[@alteye1]

I find your comment immature. If you're a practitioner of a martial art, you should know that there is no such thing as a "better martial art". Sure, a BJJ blue belt could waste a JJJ black belt, it depends on many things. Their devotion, their instructors and the circumstances of the fight as well as coincidence. As for me, I've always prefered traditional japanese jiu jitsu and believe me, I did win fights against BJJ black belts before, but not because of my "superior" martial art.

[@psyience3213]

at 4:30 made me cringe. guy is asking for a blown out knee. keep your legs closer together

[@Matt_Mosley1983]

'Ju Jitsu' not 'Jiu Jitsu' ;-)

[@911Salvage]

+Matt Mosley Irrelevant. There's not even a single alphabet in the Japanese language. Although there are many different systems of Japanese romanization one can choose from, they're more relevant to linguists and translators alike. For lay people like you and I, we can spell or pronounce any given Japanese word any which way we're comfortable with. As long as we know, based on context, what a written/spoken word refers to, no correction is warranted.

[@Matt_Mosley1983]

Mouldy CPU I feel that it is. When people see 'Jiu Jitsu' they think of BJJ, as the Brazilians only spell it this way, so it has become a seperation to clarify whether the art is the original Japanese or the more modern Brazilian 'version' of it, and Ju Jitsu is the far more common way of spelling it.

[@jerryporter5401]

It was just one specific style's way of executing stand up techniques on the ground. It would be crazy to think that warriors didn't come up with some of the most useful strategies and that some guys in Brazil did.
