Jujitsu Lockflow

[SpawnPirate]

Incredibly fluid.

[IronKingLeo]

That guy's wrists had to be so worn out after that.

[tbnice1966]

nice work

[foundintranslation3]

they are using tai chi

[JessD582K9]

Very smooth! Nice work!

[ModernArnis]

Wonderful Flow Gentleman!!! Peace

[MrBINDEL]

Very good.

[criptovicto]

is like BJJ with Wing Chun

[AvEryBadApPLe]

awesome demonstration.

[tonydam]

Very good usable stuff and mainly defensive ,i have practise these sort of moves and ,alot can come of the sticking hands routine,

[CacatuaAbada]

this does work against live strikers. it helps if you learn to parry the punch, stick and control the bisep line. the flow drills help you develp the sensitivity to do so and to transition into the next move.

[Obsidian1392]

Does this work against a trained striker? Nice looking techniques, but how do you do them against a jab or something?

[iggy27707]

Beautiful demo! It's always good to see such techniques in the martial arts flow with such precision. Five stars.

[shnickalicious]

this is all small circle jiujitsu

[XWRadioGS]

more like Wing Chun

[crystalnrich]

There are so many arts out there that look alike it's hard to tell the difference. I like BJJ, so anything that looks like joint locks I guess at jiu-jitsu. Looks cool though.

[bullmeecham]

NOT, man wing chun guys think everything look like WC. LOLz.

[crystalnrich]

That's real smooth, bro. Nice flow and transitions.

[aalford111]

Thanks my friend.

[chrisarena]

Very good demo. It's plain to see where Remy Presas picked up his Jui Jitsu skills. Many thanks to Master Wally Jay!!

Our Modern Arnis group is big on lock flow and we are working on developing our locking skills. Hopefully we can eventually get to your level. Note to all the guys spamming you.... This is a drill dummies. In actual practice we strike to lock. Yes, locks are luck. but the ones that work hard at it tend to be a bit more lucky!

Thanks again!

[aalford111]

Thanks my friend. I even put that this is a drill in the description but some people just don't see beyond their own ego!

[crystalnrich]

Nah bro, that's the only way people get that fluid is by drilling this way. It works the mind and body to think a certain way "second nature". I like when I see this, just like grappling and trying to make the most awkward movements feel more natural. Keep it up.

[drtbgcsnova]

dearest mr. doobie08, if you would like to climb into a cage with a scjj student you have obviously smoked yourself retarded. besides, cage fighting doesnt allow small joint locks

[keithowen]

Thats Great!

Keith Owen

BJJ Black Belt

[ruizadalberto]

mm that is weird the bjj I know is mostly ground and takedowns!

[aalford111]

This is not a demonstration of bjj it is Small Circle Jujitsu. Jujitsu is over 1000 years old.

[hkdharmon]

@ruizadalberto It's not BJJ. This is Wally Jay's Small Circle Jujitsu. Wally Jay learned from Prof. Henry Okazaki, the founder of Danzan Ryu Jujitsu.

Awesome vid!

[ruizadalberto]

this is not jj !!!

[ingram357]

actually it is

[MrDoobie08]

i want to see it in the cage

[charkoly]

This looks alot like wing chun sticky hand drills, except instead of looking for an opening to land a punch, you're looking for a wristlock. What are the main differences between small circle JJ, judo, and Aikido?

[marcopolo2001]

I really like your style -- thanks again for the great video. Wish you were local.

[Nikos35mk]

Really nice. Are there any moves that can prevent an attack by feet also?

[SudoJudo1]

Small joint locks are not allowed in MMA , reason why? To many fights would be ending by small joint locks that then lead to larger joint locks.

I personally don't like small circle Jujitsu . I train at a Very GOSHIN dojo . To say most locks in Jujitsu dont work is presuming alot.

The locks work u just gotta train them more so u are infact doing them correctly.

[FireEscapeFiction]

even if he wasn't a combat sports instructor, from the video it looks like he knows what he is doing and any person with an understanding of martial arts as a whole and not just mixed martial arts (striking and ground grappling) could see that these techniques could work

[jesuskopp]

The thing benjibandido does not understand is that prof Wally Jay was a Combat Sports instrutor before he developed his small circle art and he knows what will work and what will not in real situations.

[staunchmike]

Actually the martial art i train in has very little to do with Prof Wally Jay. You should however look him up on wikipedia or something as he is possibly one of the most widely respected martial artists alive today. It would seem you are the ignorant one if you train in Ju Jitsu and dont know of the man that is considered the worlds leading expert in that same very system.

[bodisatva75]

nice drill, keep it up

[AaronB35]

i do ju jisu :) its great except youd prob never use most of the stuff u learn XD

[chrisdominguez77]

awesome demonstration gentlemen thanks for sharing! *bow*

[redmanobx]

Great demo. Instructor and attacker do their part to make this drill an affective learning tool.Often I've seen instructors use too much force in a drill to make sure everyone knows they would win a real fight with the student. Likewise the attackers don't commit to the prescribed attack to prove they would never get countered by the prescribed counterattack or joint lock. Students will watch these two guys and take home some valuable training.

[staunchmike]

excelent post.

[rsjosephindy]

SCJJ is very useful for controlling someone without injuring them. I have had to use it probably 3 dozen times to control coked up, confused, deranged or otherwise belligerent patients in the hospital. I have never injured a patient. and the only time I was injured was when two security guards jumped in tried to take over and in the process broke my finger.

[nonfakename]

Cool, jujitsu kicks ass, plus some of that looks really useful for ending fights where you don't want to hurt the person, but they want to hurt you. you could just get them in a nice armlock and restrain them utill they calm down or just toss them to the floor and walk away. Some of that finger bending stuff looked like it hurt! lol.

[pendodecahedron]

yep very nice....really like the look of that

[232323C]

nice!!!!!!

[EthrFused]

I was under the impression that most , if not all, martial artists are aware that you do not apply full force when demonstrating applications, so my in saying this, I enjoyed seeing jujitsu flow and use intricate locking systems with flow as well... excellent !

[DeathStrawberry15]

I agree that the flow and speed is good, and it's good practice for transitioning without pausing to think, but I'm looking closely and I don't think the locks are really being put on. If that's not the purpose of the drill, that's fine, but I'm a student of Small Circle and these locks aren't tight & accurate like they would need to be for a real fight or sparring match. They're loose so they can flow easily and avoid actual take-downs.

[aalford111]

Thanks for the comment. This is not intended to be a demonstration of our reality based self defense. It is a lock flow and transition demonstration. However, I can assure you that these locks are on and are accurate. I like to keep my partner's safe and not take the lock to the point of injury while training. Like a boxer uses a speed bag and jump rope to develop certain attributes - we use drills too. Keep training.

[quest4damoshi]

cool

[b19dog]

This reminds me of a wing chun excercise called chi-sao.

[JohnColt]

I've done this excercise before, it's good fun and a real test of skill...being able to flow at speed AND actually put each lock ON is not easy. This beats Aikido.

[BrentShiver]

Great video, and Im going to steal your idea for jujitsu class. I like the way you were practicing just one technique after another flow, flow flow great for developing coordination, and fluidity in your techniques. Im gonna have to work on this in the dojo as we normally focus on specific techniques, or attack and then response... but dont generally string it together like you did in the video. I think that will really help eliminate any 'thought delays' while trying a technique.

[aajcem]

poetry in motion my friend excellent training guys!

[j1mb0jones]

This is a really good vid, I practice Kali & Silat, and there's some really interesting similarities in the flow & movement, at one point it almost looks like hubud, made me think in new directions, thank you.

[aalford111]

Thanks my friend. I also practice Kali/Arnis. I'm sure that has impacted my flow. Great eye!

[kempobrad]

do you guys get into all that kyusho jitsu stuff as well?

[aalford111]

Not so much. We use nerve attacks as a distraction but it is not our main focus

[kempobrad]

good to hear. I was actually a bit turned off to Small Circle when I watched Leon's "fulcrum activation" video, which was more about pressure points than small circle theory. to me jujutsu loses something when combined with kyusho, it doesn't flow like it should. Leon is great, I just wish he wasn't buffalo'd by all the kyusho, it seems to get in the way more than it helps to me.

[UltimaGreg]

I started training under Leon 3 months ago. I thought I knew enough from scrapping with my friends and that. But this small circle just blew my mind!

[jmoree2]

EXCELLENT FLOW!

[streetkunedo]

really really cool

[mddrew01]

Watch this video closely. There is a lot more going on than lock flow. Watch the strikes which trigger release and then submission. In real-life the locks would be breaks and it would be over very quickly. This is very real fighting - a combination of locks - grappling - strikes all with control.

[aalford111]

Thanks mddrew01! You have a very good eye! Very cool comment.  Rick

[marcopolo2001]

Awesome flow routine. Thanks for sharing. I love Small Circle JJ ever since I got Wally Jay's book long ago. Look forward to more...

[manhettot]

I train small circle along side grandmaster dillman and bowman and like your self i love it.
