- Have you heard someone at your gym say "OSS"? It gets thrown around almost like a Jiu-Jitsu meme. But OSS has a deep history outside of BJJ. It is a word of many meanings in Judo, Karate and Samurai warrior history. JT took a deep dive to try to get to the bottom of the meaning in BJJ and its origin- where did it actually come from?
With references from all corners of the internet the boys go through a wide ranging discussion to reveal if you should or not use it and maybe it has been replaced?
As Jiu-Jitsu culture evolves both terminology and procedure change and the question is has OSS gone the way of the dinosaurs?

Osu is an affirming word of devotion. Osu means to persevere. Osu first appeared as an expression in the Officers Academy of the Imperial Japanese Navy and there was some noted use by the Samurai Bushi Warriors of the Saga Clan in the 18th Century and has since been associated in military terms.
Lived in Japan for three years training judo and aikido - long time ago - mid 90s - from my direct experience: in the beginning of class people say onegei shimasu to each other when training with a new partner. By the end of class - and you had a few hard rounds - everyone says osss :):)
I speak Japanese and have lived in Japan. High school or university students in Kendo or Judo greet each other every morning with 'osu' because it is also an informal abbreviation of 'ohayo gozaimasu' which means good morning.
Japanese people also use the word 'onegaishimasu' as a polite way to engage in something. You can loosely translate it as 'please'. Rolling in Japan you can also use that word but the term is used broadly in everyday life. The term oss in BJJ probably derived from that but it has started to lead its own life and people started to give their own meaning to it. It's not likely it has something to do with samurai or some deeper meaning. Non Japanese tend to romanticize these Japanese terms too often and try to give a special meaning when there is nothing much too it initially.
Personally, the Oss and 1,2,3 clap is something I haven't encountered in Martial arts before doing BJJ.
I teach a fundamentals class and I think I solved the out of time clap. First you say "hands up" then "1,2,3". Claps are straight thunder 😅
Completely unrelated but… Man I came up short at purple belt comp and I’m absolutely devastated. Shit sucks man. Is what it is.. but damn it.
Started training BJJ with Chris Traish at BMMAC at the end of 2000. Back then he was still Arjuken karate but teaching Jiu jitsu. We would say 'oss' after instructions were given.
When Marcelo Rezende came out from Brazil in 2001, I remember him teaching a class and being puzzled as to why people were saying 'oss'. He was like ' what is this oss, why do people keep saying oss ? '
I never heard anyone at BJJ tournaments using it back in those days. I stopped training for 11 years. When I came back in 2014 I was really surprised that oss had become a thing in Jiu jitsu. The Brazilians never used it from what I saw back in the early days .
I used to train Japanese jujutsu and the ‘formal yes’ version seems contextually right as how we used it/ were taught.
Honestly Ive been listening for an year and still think you guys are twins
I was told it was "respect". My lenage is under Royce Gracie, this didn't come from him but other coaches.
I thought it was just short for 'onegaishimasu'
I have also been told that in Japanese, it can be roughly interpreted as "It is (was) an honor to fight you."
It’s like hooyah. It means anything but some people have said it too much and it weird.
What about HOOD OSS lads?
I always thought it meant keep on juicing! 😂
I heard it for the first time in a Muay Thai gym, everybody would scream "oss!" after the coach gave a direction. Haven't heard it at a Bjj gym so far
That’s strange I’ve never heard that before
there is too much pointless talking in bjj anyway and gossip and grown man bitching lol
@@naturalianoss well I think that’s just people I don’t see how jiu jitsu has anything do with that behavior inherently
yes you are right but there is something about many bjj gyms where a lot of people look like they dont even want to be there lying around bragging about how unathletic they are or just talking about things unrelated to what they are there for..Maybe is me coming from eastern europe where is a different approach in martial arts and of course it isnt all somber we do make jokes have fun but it is all blending with the discipline and dedication for the sport/art.@@ssyankee121
I came to BJJ from Kyokushin as a Blackbelt.
Osu is used for everything. You bow 'osu', you strike 'osu', you take a p1ss 'osu'.
It's OTT and cult like, but so be it.
Osu
Osu means to push through and endure.
Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi!!!!!!!!!
OSS!!!
Correctly spelled “Osu”
In romanian “os” means bone lol .In my opinion it is a total nonsense the use of it also bowing is stupid af too ..sorry
Typical BJJ BS.
