Atemi • Striking in Jujutsu (Jujitsu / Jiu-Jitsu) Self Defense
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 08. 2024
- Rego Sensei, 5th dan jujitsu & 3rd dan karate, going through two sequences of self-defense applications with an emphasis on traditional atemi waza (striking techniques) as found in Jukido Jujitsu and Kokondo Karate. The sequences (2nd portion of video) also do have some takedown options as well with the use of Osoto Otoshi and Kote Gaeshi (i.e. sante-waza).
Striking techniques are usually found in traditional jujutsu (and old judo) as effective tools that most often are in the "service" of other branches of technique (such as throws, locks, & chokes). However, they can also be used -- in alignment with authentic karate self-defense -- as the primary branch of technique in a given self-defense circumstance. The Jukido approach to jujitsu adheres to the notion of Kanzen (completeness) -- in principle this means that we need to be well versed in all branches of techniques and that those techniques mess together in a way that doesn't contradict fundamental principles.
Footage from April 15, 2021 from Adult Jujitsu class at the Jukido Academy in Palm Coast, Florida (Flagler County).
I train Japanese Jiu-Jitsu for some time (10 years) and longer I train the more I realize that there is always something more to train and that's what I love on this art with all those strikes, kicks, joint locks, throws and ect. possibilities are almost endless. Thank you my friend I appreciate this video very much...
Your kind words are greatly appreciated! Yes, I couldn't agree more. The complete, versatile, and integrated nature of our martial arts is what keeps me continuously falling in love with the depth it provides. All the best! 🥋
@@JukidoAcademy Thank you man, good luck and determination to you and all people in your dojo...
An excellent demonstration of
Ju Jitsu atemi waza and very well explained, thank you for posting this video....
Honored by your kind words! Thank you for supporting our channel and approach to jujitsu!
This is the real Jujitsu. You inspired me to take it on again, thanks!
That is amazing! Truly thrilled that this is the case! Find a truly quality dojo of authentic jujutsu and stay on the path! If we can help in anyway, don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks for the support of our channel and work. All the best. 🥋
@@JukidoAcademy thanks, enlisting to my old school I went to over 30 years ago. But I will keep following you 🙏
Thats amazing! Truly happy to hear this and glad to know that our content played a role in your return! All the best!
Very good work. I'm here in Brazil and this traditional Ju Jutsu work is not easy to find. It's actually something very rare. Congratulations
Appreciate your sharing and your appreciation for our approach. Thank you. Wishing you all the best in your journey!
Excellent video. Love the roots of battlefield style. Jujitsu has, in my opinion, suffered a great loss. Too much emphasis on sport. Most BJJ & Judo schools now lack this type of training.
Your kind words on this video and general support for our approach is sincerely appreciated! Without pontificating too much on this platform, our approach is certainly one that emphasizes jujitsu as a MARTIAL art. As such, while we are concerned with modern day realities of self-defense, our approach is based on a more complete approach to the art in alignment with its original/traditional purpose.
What do you mean by too much emphasis on sport?
@@cadkls Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are sport focused martial arts that ban certain techniques for the sake of the rules of the ring. Those techniques get lost because they're not taught, and the art loses some value because of it. People now think Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling art, when the reality is that it's a complete martial art with strikes, grappling, clinching, and weapons training designed to end fights quickly, not get as many points in a controlled setting. Sports martial arts are great, and many combat sport athletes can definitely be a threat, but there's a difference when you go back to the roots of these sport arts and see the "martial" part of the martial arts they were taken from.
I agree, same with Judo. Too many people think judo has no striking, but they are only thinking of the sport Judo.
As always great instructional video!
@@charlesmcneilly8817Old School Judo has atemi-waza. And is only taught in self-defense also known as “Goshin Jutsu”. The self-defense branch of Judo taught in the Kodokan. They still teach it there they just only teach it to high-level black, belts.
Great video, demonstrated and explained very well, sharp and to the point. Steve from( England) still training and teaching jujitsu started my journey 1980.
Grateful for your kind words, Steve! Love hearing from jujitsuka in England -- the place that jujitsu first made its appearance in the West! All the best to you and your student! Thank you for the support!
Superb, great teaching, loved your interview with lucci del gaudio last month, Atemi waza is so important in our training, Regards from northern England
Thank you so much for the kind words. Speaking with Lucci Del-Gaudio was a real treat! Really appreciate the support we've received from superb jujitsuka in the UK and Europe-at-large. On Atemi-Waza, couldn't agree more! While it is an oversimplification, I like the (slightly controversial) phrase, "If you can't strike, it isn't a really a fight...and if you don't know how to grapple, you don't really know how to fight."
Outstanding Sensei! Respect, Osu!
5:14 If you're training with your partner be gentle with the slap to the hand and only do it when you know your strength well! This can hurt him for the rest of the lesson or exam
Absolutely. Safety is always one of our top priorities in training. Your point on the augmentation of the wrist lock with the "slap" is definitely on point. This little "boost" to the technique is shockingly effective and can induce immediate and intense pressure. Effectiveness but safety must always be balanced. A top priority of our jujitsu style. Thank you for the comment and support for our channel.
Techniques good jujitsu skills
I have just discovered you today, now, thru this video. I am happy to find you. I am now subscribed!!
Happy to have your support for our channel and approach to authentic jujutsu! Much appreciated! All the best to you, John!
Very good demonstration! I'd like to ask a question: Atemi Waza has the concept of "Ju" /best use of energy or there are also "hard" striking techniques (Atemi Waza) which are not under the principle of "Ju"? For example, a strike to the throat maybe has the "Ju" principle (it does not take much energy to cripple the opponent in a life or death situation) vs a hook punch to the body (it must be hard enough to make some damage, so maybe it does not belong to the "Ju" principle). So, in general, which striking techniques (Atemi Waza) could be categorized under the "Ju" principle? These that aim at vital points of human body?Thank you for your time.
That really is an excellent question! The truth is, it it might be a bit more in depth than a single CZcams response can address. Nonetheless, while understanding that what I'm about to say isn't a fully comprehensive answer, I will do my best in relatively short form. The easiest traditional starting point is the one you mentioned in you comment. Atemi-waza are usually associated with vital areas of the body (but not always). The idea is that targets selected for strikes are ones that are always sensitive despite the individuals size, level of fitness, etc. Atemi-waza generally seeks to be effective regardless of the opponent's physical attributes.
For example, a small person striking a large person with a close fist to the abdomen or chest is unlikely to create a significant effect. On the flipside, no matter how big the person might be - if that small person finger-jabs their eye, sends a elbow to their nose, or a knife hand to their throat - those are extremely effective despite the size/strength difference. There are no amount of weights or body conditioning that can be done to make the eyeball or nose less sensitive to a true strike. Other parts of the body, however, can be conditioned to absorb impact, etc.
Powerful blows can definitely be included under the principle of Ju or Kano's Seiryoku Zen'yo. It isn't so much the power that is the question but about the targeting and timing of the strike that would determine if it is being used in accordance to the principle of Optimal Use of Energy (Seiryoku Zen'yo). Power can vary but in order to be applied with the principle of Ju in mind, it has to achieve its aim in a way that is efficient. All strikes can also be applied with inaccuracy and inefficiency and thus not be totally in alignment with jujutsu notions of striking.
So, all strikes can, be applied with this in mind. However "standing and trading" blows for extended periods of time would NOT be in alignment with the principle of Ju. This is not optimal and highly risky. So, the idea is for the jujutsuka to use effective strikes to achieve a particular aim -- usually this is distraction, damage, and most of all distribution of mental and physical balance.
I hope this was somewhat helpful. All the best to you and thanks for your support!
Thank you for your answer!!
My honor and pleasure!
They need to start back doing atemi waza in judo
Yes!
Wow, l really like this style.😊
Thank you for the kind words. Much appreciated! All the best to you. - Rego
Very solid
Excellent
Well demonstrated
Excellent video, Sir. May I ask if what you performed in this video is strictly Ju-Jutsu, or there is also Karate involved?
@mgm6229 - Glad you enjoyed the video. Your support is appreciated. To answer your question, it is a little bit complicated but the short answer is that while Jukido is a style of jujutsu, there is absolutely a strong influence of karate in the body dynamics of our atemi-waza (striking techniques). The "when, where, and why" of our striking is in total alignment with jujutsu. The weapons themselves (seiken, shuto, tettsui, etc.) are common between both arts (even if different styles use different terminology to refer to the same anatomical weapons) but we infuse the base, rotational power, and hips in a very karate way to back-up what are otherwise striking techniques with the strategy and intention of self-defense jujutsu.
I hope that was helpful and didn't add confusion?
@@JukidoAcademy You explained it very clearly. Thank you very much. You have one new follower :)
Honored to have your support! Much appreciated! 🥋
The influence of Karate, in the way of striking of this Ju Jitsu school (method) is evident. Isn't that so? 🙂
Well observed! There is absolutely no doubt that the atemi-waza (striking) of our jujitsu is strongly influenced by karate, the Kokondo karate style in particular (which is largely based on early Kyokushin). Thanks for contributing! All the best! 🥋
@@JukidoAcademy very exhaustive answer. It's a modern Ju Jitsu school. Many thanks!
Thank You Sir! 🙏
Most welcome!
Y'all should try out Ju-Jitsu International Federation competition. They have 3 types of competition: Duo, Newaza, and Fighting system, which is a more like MMA.
then you negate all the best stuff cos you have to have rules to make it safe,it shouldn't be safe in full application
Ues I done this Japanese Ju jitsu . Some think and get mixed up with Brazilean Ju jitsu
Nice
to be young again.....old school Newington Honbu has not let you!
Newington Honbu forever!
Esto es Karate y esta muy Bien!!
Las técnicas de golpeo de nuestro jujutsu tienen absolutamente una fuerte influencia del kárate japonés y de Okinawa, especialmente el kárate de Kokondo (que a su vez tiene su base en Kyokushin e Isshin-ryu).
Tuyệt
Cảm ơn bạn đã hỗ trợ! Lời chúc tốt nhất dành cho bạn!

Link in the comment - it is the book I authored titled "The Founding of Jujutsu & Judo in America." Appreciate the support!
Good. Devastating.
Which knuckles do you use for striking? 🙂 Good video
Glad you enjoyed the video! The primary knuckles are the index and middle knuckles in the opening strike.
😊👍👏🇪🇸🥋
Poor tony 😭
Haha! He's a great guy! Takes a good beating (but can give them out as well).
You're witnessing top tier jujitsu for modern times. This is not Brazilian jujitsu and not a game. However, I respect bjj but this jiu-jitsu is bone breaking , at the very least deliver concusions.
Tony can handle it
2 kind but good
Oosh🙏
Es super similar a los Tsuki y Enpi de Karate
Que estilo de Jujutsu es?
Gracias por tu interés amigo. Enseñamos el estilo Jukido de jujutsu. Su observación sobre nuestro atemi-waza (técnicas de golpe) es precisa. Tenemos una fuerte influencia del karate en nuestro atemi. A menudo digo que el "cuándo y por qué" de nuestro atemi está completamente alineado con el auténtico jujutsu... sin embargo, el "cómo" está bastante orientado al karate. En cualquier caso, espero sinceramente que esta explicación demasiado simplificada ayude a comprender algo sobre nuestro sistema de jujutsu.
Beautiful
Do these guys even spar?
Absolutely! I'd encourage you to look around our channel and you'll see various videos of randori (sparring) and other methods of sparring and non-sparring forms of pressure testing. It is an ESSENTIAL element of training. Having said that, we are focused on martial arts for its original purpose (self defense). As such, while we value sparring methods to a very high degree, we don't train "for" sparring on the mats as the end goal as in arts that practice exclusively for sport contests.
Damn it looks and sounds like he's really wailing on that guy. I would not want to train with someone striking like that in a demonstration. This looks more like someone taking advantage of a student and affirming their own ego. Please correct me if you disagree because this does not look good to me, a casual viewer of this video.
Thanks for your concern regarding our (recently promoted) black belt, Mr. Tony Ramirez. I can 100% assure you that not only is he OK but that no liberties were taken with him. Do we train hard at times? Sure. However, we NEVER take liberties with each other. In fact, this is a a deeply embedded part of the culture of our school. One of our mottos is, "Train hard, train realistically, but EVERYONE should be able to go to school or work tomorrow without any issue whatsoever." Safety is a primary concern and respect for each other's body's are non-negotiable. Techniques are dynamic and strong but always controlled. Given the nature of these shots, if they were put in (even moderately), injury would certainly result.
Nonetheless, your concern is appreciated. All the best to you in your own martial arts journey. 🥋
@@JukidoAcademy Thank you very much for clarifying. I have seen some dark things happen in traditional martial arts dojos where hierarchy and power are abused. I believe in training hard as well but watching someone potentially pressured by their instructor as well as a camera to eat what look like powered shots did not look good. I appreciate you taking the time to correct what I saw. Osu
Unfortunately, I know exactly what you mean and have seen this type of thing happen first hand. It is distasteful and fundamentally breaks the trust that should be true between student-teacher and the dojo environment as a whole. Again, we take pride in being the anti-that type of school.
Funny enough, we often joke with Tony about how "dramatic" he can be during demos. Sometimes I'll even say, "I promise I'm not hurting him." While the shots are fast (but controlled), he can sell them well. :-) Actually, we have some other videos on our channel were he is the Tori ("the good guy") and he is often quite amazing in his realism in verbal self-defense.
In any case, thanks for your concern and (I hope) support for our channel in the future. All the best!
Hi there. I'm the guy in the video that Master Rego (my Sensei of 8 years now) was using as uke. I can promise you in the 8 years I have had training under Master Rego and being his uke in demonstrations, I have never gotten hurt. Not even a little bit. Not once. Not ever.
As you can also see in the video, not only was I not getting hurt, but Master Rego's control of his technique (kime) is impeccable, and, just one of many, many reasons I trust the man with my very life.
Hope this dispels any confusion.

Real cool getting both of you to clear things up. Thanks again and all the best to you both, congratulations on your black belt!
