Japanese Jiu Jitsu - Yellow belt exam

[@WrightFightConcepts]

Excellent work! An awesome curriculum for Yellow Belt for sure. Very comprehensive.

[@joekhourystudio]

Thanks a lot! I still consider going back to the dojo soon as I haven't been training for a while now! comments like these makes me want to resume this journey! cheers👊

[@WrightFightConcepts]

@@joekhourystudio you should absolutely resume your journey. Honestly, your performance in this test is extremely crisp. I think you could go very far with it if you continue. You obviously have good teachers if they are giving you a curriculum that is this comprehensive and versatile. What made you step away from it?

[@joekhourystudio]

@@WrightFightConcepts Thanks for your support! I actually stopped due to corona. I then moved out of the country. Now I'm in Belgium and I've attended some Bjj classes again. I have some injuries in my knee and ankel wish are making me hesitate to really commit again :S

The exhaustion at the end is certainly legit. Even the low level exams feel like sprinting for 5+ minutes. Doesn't make it easy to concentrate on what the hell your supposed to be doing either.

That’s a pretty exhaustive curriculum to yellow belt. Well done

[@jasonandylzu6846]

Where i train, the gradings take about 2 hours to complete, even at white belt, you are tested for an hour on fitness, 30 minutes on technique, then you do this thing where 30 people stand in a circle around you and you have to defend yourself as they run at you, its wild man, its taken me 16 years to get to 2nd Dan Black Belt, and I take my 3rd Dan grading in 4 weeks

[@sophiemeads5243]

How many days a week do you need to train to get to that level? I have my first session next week and thinking if I want to progress I’ll need more than once a week

[@jasonandylzu6846]

@@sophiemeads5243 me personally? I train 5 days a week, usually about 3 hours each day. However I used to train 1 day a week, and I managed to reach green belt doing that for around 3-4 years (green belt is one belt before blue, and blue means you are halfway to black belt) then i amped my training up to 3 days a week, and i got to black belt in another 9 more years, then i started training 5 days a week, got my 3rd dan black belt around 2 months ago. It isnt really necessary to train as much as I have, You could get to black belt training once or twice a week, Im just really passionate about it. A good thing that helped me stay focused, is having some friends ranking up with you, theres no better way to bond with someone than to do it by both being exhausted after your sensei makes you do 150 pushups.

[@joekhourystudio]

This took about 1 hour of grading, but the edited video is shorter. and the practice took 2 years in order to be able to apply for the Yellow!

[@joekhourystudio]

Back then I was practicing 3 times a week for 1.30 hours each for 2 years!

[@PEGF4MG]

Good job! Did some JJ as a youngster and will get back into it. Look forward to seeing more of your training 🤟🏽

That's cool! I've never practiced Jujutsu, but I practiced Judo and I recognized Osoto gari, Ogoshi, Ouchi gari and Ippon seoi nage. And there's striking and blocks! If the pandemic was over, I'd definitely give it a try.

[@joekhourystudio]

Yes! I think Nage Waza is the discipline related to Judo. it has lots of similar technique! keep it up :)

[@21nitro21]

As a black belt in Japanese JJ and Judo this was alot of moves for a yellow belt exam. I have State and National Champions in Grappling and BBJ here at my DOJO. The Japanese JJ art is not used enough at grappling competitions. We use alot of JAPANESE JJ on the feet that people have no answer for. We have broken arms, ribs and collar bones in the last 5 years that I have lost count. BJJ schools need to learn JAPANESE JJ for their students to fall better and fight on their feet more. This is definitely a upgraded version on JAPANESE JJ with some new techniques. Good stuff!!!!

[@the_yoker]

I believe this is the most effective & simple traditional martial art for every possible aspect of a street fight.

[@joekhourystudio]

true that!

[@kylerowling7495]

[@bartofilms]

That's a lot of techniques for a yellow belt. He should try to scoop the neck and control it when setting up yoko shiho gatame. Also, when doing O-soto gari, point the sweeping toes downward to avoid planting the foot and interrupting throw. Be careful with uke, as o-soto done forcefully can cause concussions, (ask me how I know...). Cheers.

No comments on the fine performance but that is not Japanese. No Japanese would spell it 'Jiu Jitsu', that is a foreign (typically Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) spelling; it would be Ju Jutsu. Also, speaking of Brazilian, it has many techniques that look suspiciously like BJJ. I'd say we have a concoction of BJJ, Japanese Ju Jutsu (of some kind) and some other arts.

[@joekhourystudio]

It has both!

[@chrisjackson8151]

Is that the only thing that you’re concerned about? 😂 “jiu jitsu” happens to be the old romanised form of the the Japanese word “ju jutsu.” The spelling of “jiu jitsu” just happened to stick with the Brazilians. In fact, “jiu” and “ju” are the same.
