Old School/Japanese Jiu Jitsu (Locks,Throws & Takedowns)

Today we are doing some Old School/Jampanese Jiu Jitsu. In this video you will see straight armlock takedowns, figure 4 take down, wrist locks, shoulder lock and a modified shoulder throw. This was definitely a fun class. We hope you enjoyed this class as much as we did! Let us know what you thought about the class and if you will be trying these soon.

I LOVE it when we do things like this we don't normally do.

Traditional Japanese techniques are very valuable in the modern age as they are meant to function against individuals in body armor.

[@conwaytoe2toekickboxing]

Ha...at first I was confused but yes, samurai wore armor. I like your thinking 😊

@@conwaytoe2toejiu-jitsu I'll do some vids for you of different locks and concept applications if you wish. All the best. Steve

[@1jakedizzle]

Interesting stuff. I’ll give this a whirl

[@oscarcastro4010]

Legit techniques! Probably the best and only good set up I've seen at the moment of that figure four takedown.

[@toe2toefirearmsandtraining857]

Glad you liked it

[@matthews.6692]

Too bad I dont live in Arkansas or I would definitely be in your school. From one veteran to another, you seem super knowledgeable about a lot of the martial arts. All that attention to detail we learned in the military. Lol. Sure wish I was a student there.

[@toe2toefirearmsandtraining857]

Thank you so much. I am always willing to travel to your school if you would like me to help with a seminar

[@matthews.6692]

@@toe2toefirearmsandtraining857 I am going to definitely recommend it to my school. And once you get up here to Kentucky, we're gonna keep ya. lol. Have a blessed day, sir.

[@autumnknight2581]

Very cool moves! 😁😁😁

[@Kane-ez]

good stuff

[@conwaytoe2toejiu-jitsu]

Thank you sir

[@JustSomeGuy69420]

Awesome details there I hadn't seen before. You've also got an opportunity for iriminage there if he pulls his arm back from the straight armbar.

[@conwaytoe2toejiu-jitsu]

Great comment 😊

[@sanjitjashan]

The last technique is a waki-gatame from judo. This stuff is awesome...Many thanks

[@toe2toefirearmsandtraining857]

Yes Sir

[@Shadowrulzalways]

Jujutsu had waki-gatame long before Judo did.

[@Shadowrulzalways]

So what particular styles of Jujutsu do you practice?

[@curtissrobinson5581]

Honestly I prefer the throwing and ground work of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but I have trained in Japanese jujutsu, aiki-jutsu, and Judo. This is old school Japanese jujutsu for the most part.

[@nestormendez1237]

That is a fujiwara armbar and is illegal in judo and some bjj tournaments

[@conwaytoe2toejiu-jitsu]

Lots of things are illegal these days. This is a great real world technique (self defense)

[@nestormendez1237]

@@conwaytoe2toejiu-jitsu in judo it's banned from standing but in bjj and judo and of obviously in CACC it's totally legal and yes great for self defense

[@Thomastank2023]

That actually wouldn’t be a scoring takedown in BJJ competition cause the rules are weird.

[@curtissrobinson5581]

We are definitely not a competition focused school in spite of having plenty of time in the ring, the cage, and so forth. This particular series is instructional and has value in teaching how to affect balance and body mechanics (using arm locks)

[@markdaniels4178]

This is not Japanese or traditional jiu-jitsu, it'd American jiu-jitsu

[@curtissrobinson5581]

Elaborate please. Surely you would agree that the word Jiu-Jitsu or jujutsu is Japanese. Surely you would agree that the history and lineage of these martial arts are Japanese in nature. I would agree that plenty of Americans have adopted these techniques.

[@markdaniels4178]

@curtissrobinson5581 it's jiu-jitsu 100 percent, I'm only saying because you're not in Japan but people for some reason in the west think anything not Brazilian is automatically Japanese. If you are in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 it should be called UK jiu-jitsu and so on. However, im not questioning your jiu-jitsu because it is legitimate 100 percent

[@curtissrobinson5581]

I get it. Reasonable comment. Thanks

[@chriswilcox8977]

Always get confused when people refer to a technique as traditional Japanese JuJutsu, do they mean anything post war, or something Koryu? There’s two strands of Japanese JuJutsu and Koryu is way different to anything that came from post war teaching. This feels more post war to me. Whether that’s traditional or Japanese is likely open for debate.

[@toe2toefirearmsandtraining857]

Potato, potato lol The point is super simple...we don't do this technique much anymore but it still has value and I wanted to teach it. In addition, it is awesome that guys like you want to comment. That makes the conversation worthwhile.
