The longer I train martial arts, the more I realize that Kuzushi is everything… not discussed enough in BJJ
Indeed
in BBJ is not a common issue because usually everything starts at ground level. It is a topic that has been left aside but to understand why you have to go to the beginning of BJJ to understand its root: KOSEN JUDO.
That’s because bjj is not jujitsu just like Aikido is not jujitsu.
Very important issue, from MMA, Judo, Aikido even in sword techniques. All martial arts, competitive or not, Kuzushi is fundamental !!!
Very important.
What if your opponent is bigger than you? How do you kuzushi him?
And how do you keep your balance? Not letting someone kuzushi you
Counter balance and sweep motions, with the rotations.
@@counterkidnapping1737 you will learn how to keep balance when learning how to unbalance other people
Kuzushi happens in a heartbeat, in the blink of an eye.. Tori pulls uke. Uke instinctively pulls back slightly. Immediately Tori pushes, the kuzushi has changed direction, following Uke's pull back and Tori now executes O uchi gari or Ko uchi gari or O soto gari (for example). Vice versa: Tori pushes, uke resists and immediately tori changes the direction of kuzushi, pulling Uke and executing morote seoi nage (for example) Thats the mechanics of it. It's the human nervous system reacting to stimulus. Push-pull-resist Applies to all the directions of kuzushi, not just push/pull but right/left... Done without thinking this is the essense of judo The state of "no mind" allows instant kuzushi. When sucessful there is IPPON. That is the way I understand kuzushi. Merci Chadi, de partager autant de videos fascinants sur le judo.
at least no one is saying that Helio Gracie invented kuzushi😄
Give them time!
I heard someone on CZcams saying the gracies were the first people to use leverage to fight
Oh man your channel's like a delight to me. Have been looking for years for someone on CZcams with such a prospective on many topics Judo can evoke.
Wrestler, bjj black belt, and wing chun sifu here. Kuzushi is underrated. Great stuff Chadi!
Thank you Sifu
This is a good topic, Mifune's movie really does inspire me, thank you for sharing.
I could say this 1,000 times your videos are absolutely amazing
I like your point at the end about going with the technique rather than resisting it. The best way I've found to avoid standing seoi nage attacks is to go with the opponent, ride the attack, and then jump over once they've attempted to execute.
Chadi, I knew this as a shodan in Tomiki aikido in 1980!! ... It was emphasized all the time by my Tomiki aikido teacher who was also a 3rd Dan judoka... Its all about raising your opponent up without using unnecessary force, onto his toes, something that todays martial artist's seem to either ignore in favour of strength, or just do not understand it enough to see the immense and important value of it all... I've always said that strength is an important factor in being a martial artist, but also to use that strength economically in its execution.... Its very important to develop strong legs and hips and why I've practised sumo squats & squat kicks, since I can remember!! I also recommend the use of regular Isometric/Isotonic exercise as a must to be able to do martial arts, if you truly wish to be effective... Something that has long been forgotten in favour of modern fads....
Just yesterday, my instructor was telling me the importance of kuzushi when doing throws !!
Precisely Abdul!! AND why I kept mentioning it to you!!
Chadi. As a judoka I'm fairly confident we can use judo principles to just blast through someone's legs. You want some body control obviously Nothing legal in competition, nothing you would do to a buddy on the mat.
Mifune was never thrown ,same as Ueshiba, because the students filming with him respected his status and didn' t want to throw him.
Beautiful presentation. This is a lost science due to modern sport. Competitors are more prone to force things with muscles due to the nature of and stakes in competition. Telling modern competitors to focus on the JU concept will often get you laughed at or it will be shrugged off.
You should check out uechi ryu karate, they have lots of throws and grappling techniques, as well as striking, and are also one of the karate styles that most resembles that of the Chinese martial arts
you went over this in a different video, but the defensive movements of striking arts like parrying, ducking, slipping, and countering are very effective forms of kuzushi, i have troubling taking people down in grappling only but in mma type training it was always easy for me to take someone down by ducking under their punch
Yea, it's way easier to set up a submissions or a takedown when you could just take the other guy's balance by punch him in the face. Which is why sport grappling gave birth to tons of tactics and techniques that doesn't make sense in MMA
Kuzushi is a very important topic in judo . Thank you for sharing it.
Great video, always relevant!
Hi Chadi,
Just want to say I am really enjoying the content from this last year or so! You have always had interesting topics that pique my interest, and the shorter videos make it easier to watch in one sitting as well.
As a fellow martial arts and history nerd, please keep doing what you do!
Thanks!
Thank you
Great video... just felt a shift in my thoughts ...i will continue to watch n hope it eventually all connects... thank you
Thanks for your sharring 👍👍
thank you sensei, your words have enlightened me!!
The trick is two directions at once or in quick succession.
To lift someone up is as you say hard, in Koryu it's usually achieved through pain such as joint manipulation or Atemi. The ball theory is fascinating in itself, having no centre or indeed being all centre is definitely a subject worth studying.
As ever many thanks Chadi.
I started Judo class by first learning basic form of this technique (and i still am). This is the backbone and foundation of Judo. Without it Judo cannot work.
Thanks for vide❤️
Super cool
Very useful advices thank you!
Always excellent and Thanks Chadi .
Thanks man!!
Chadi you are the man OSSSSS
Kuzushi is to demolish. Demolish the structure of the opponent, through manipulation of the skeletal structure to place it in a position where fighting back is impossible. In our Koryu JuJutsu it is nothing like lifting or changing direction etc., very subtle and doesn’t at all require feet off the floor etc., it’s almost like screwing the spine downwards. You can affect kuzushi on first contact with the opponent, I’d go as far as saying this is a core and essential element of our style (MotoHa Yoshin Ryu).
Systema is basically training kazushi
Sakuraba? I didn't know he trained in Systema.
In bjj you find flow in judo you find kuzushi.
Kuzushi is also very important in BJJ. Without kuzushi, you can't sweep and attack from guard
@@jaketheasianguy3307 kuzushi is flow and vice versa
Most Martial Arts I've encounters have some sort of concept of Kuzushi. Tai Chi sees it as focusing chi. Silat has the concept of a male and female triangle along with low center of balance. I suppose the one I didn't see this in was Karate but it's mostly focused on stances, kicking and punching.
To develop kuzushi, consider going to the nage no kata. If you have a good uki, you can practice feeling their push or pull, and your response.
You definitely deserve some Dan grade for your efforts.
Thank you I'm still learning and i have a lot of training to do
You mentioned a judo movie. Please give the details and link. Thanks.
This is must see
Hard to grasp the concept of triangle. What are the sides of the triangle? Anybody got it that can share it to me?
Great video 💜
Whats your opinion on kukishin ryu jujutsu?
Ive read about it while investigating bujinkan, because they seem to practice a variation of kukishin ryu and it looks very interesting style to see... Like... Aikidoish looking but with sometimes very deep stances... And they have strikes and weapons too
In my opinion, only with kuzuchi you can win stronger opponent.
Chadi my friend, I got some questions.
1) the triangle you talk about is formed by two feet or legs and the core or center of gravity? Wich means from biomechanics that your are falling when your center of gravity is dislocated to the outside of your base of support. Is that it?
From biomechanics we get the example of the ballet dancer on the tip of their toe Vs the sumotori in jigotai. That to illustrate 3 points. 1) the greater the base of support, the harder is to be unbalanced. 2) the lower your center of mass/gravity is, the harder it is to be unbalanced. And 3) the heavier your are, the harder it is to be unbalanced. The weight force pins you better to the ground.
Question 2) what is "tobe komi uchimata"? Don't know how to write.
Tobikomi uchimata, checkout kosei inoue
Very similar philosophy to tai chi quan
Where is the last clip from?
Can this be translated to jujutsu versions of these throws??
What if your opponent is bigger than you? How do you kuzushi him?
🤔👊👍

And how do you keep your balance? Not letting someone kuzushi you
Relax and yield. Draw them out a half step more. Become spinning top without using muscles. Only your skeleton.
The center of gravity is the main reason why some Asian martial arts using low stances, it makes us harder to get tackled and thrown. But today peoples are lazy, don't want to use low stance because their legs are not strong and they're not fit. Standing casual is easier that's why we see more peoples got tackled and thrown in competitions/tournaments. That's why Judo/BJJ fanbois claim being the best martial art that can dominate. Low stances is actually come from weapon and shield stance, it is purposely created for stability, just imagine using shield in casual stance, imagine those 300 Spartans with their shield standing casually in front of Persians, they will be quickly wiped out. So low stance is important.
I don't think laziness was the case. It's because of heavily sportified martial arts that made fighters back in the 70 80s (when grappling arts are not that famous) stand so tall. People think fighting is all about punch and kicks and throws and takedowns are just games. Which was why sport like boxing, muay thai, sport karate, taekwondo is so famous up until now, fighters in these sports stand so tall because they don't have to care about grappling
@@jaketheasianguy3307 I agree. Perhaps "lazy" isn't the correct word but what I mean is even when sparring and street fights people no longer care to go for low stances because it's tiring. Believe me, not many martial artists can do low stance for long. Low stance is something we only see on demonstrations and ancient training scenes in movies. Today, people are more casual, sadly that's the main reason why so many got tackled and pinned on the ground.
