Footage from our March 21, 2009 class. Saturday classes typically involve four-plus hours of jujutsu (lots of ukemi) followed by shiatsu, since we learn and practice both disciplines. As a result, we can (usually fix what gets tweaked on the mat, which is a nice perk.

For those familiar with Hakkoryu / Hakko Denshin Ryu / KoKoDo Jujutsu, the following tachi-waza from shodan-ge are featured in the video: Hakko-Nage (a couple interpretations considered to be kihon), Kubi-Shime-Dori and Ushiro-Zeme-Otoshi (mostly henka from a rear arm choke).

Unlike most of our videos to date, the techniques shown in this video are kihon waza (the formal pre-arranged techniques that make up the system’s syllabus) or pre-determined vs. on-the-fly variations (henka) of the waza.

As with much of the other material we’ve posted and will post to YouTube, this video depicts students achieving training goals with varying degrees of success, vs. simply serving as a “best-of” highlight reel for our school. Our goals in doing so are to properly represent the realities of training in self-defense-oriented martial arts, and help you form reasonable expectations should you one day choose to train with us. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to share our passion for jujutsu with you!

Gift of Traditional Martial Arts – True Legacy of the Ninja

Gift of Traditional Martial Arts is an exciting and thought provoking testament to the power of studying “Kobudo” – the ancient unarmed and weapon arts of the Ninja and Samurai.

Packed with never-before-seen martial arts techniques, this movie weaves seamlessly between the way of the sword and the way of peace.

From empowering a woman who lived in fear after being robbed at gun-point, to saving a spinal cord injury survivor who lost his will to live; this movie illustrates just how a 2000 year old Asian discipline of self defense has inspired and transformed thousands of lives.

Cable and movies are filled with overly-violent shows which glorify aggressive behavior. This movie is refreshingly different and uses the deadly fighting arts of the past to inspire rather than injure.

It documents the incredible benefits true, traditional martial arts can give to society and shows the public the once-secret world of the oldest Japanese traditional style of defense. – It is an awesome collection of movements, ideas, information and emotions.

Cast:
Soke Shoto Tanemura, Kyoshi Michael Coleman, Kyoshi Gary Giamboi & Renshi Neil Biondich
