Kempo is a broad term, combining Kung fu and this art that you are comenting on. Just depends whose version of Kempo you are talking about. And Judo came from this. So...again depends on the practioner, and techniques used? There are so many techniques in this style. Maybe the ones you are seeing would be adapted to the adversary.
I practice in this and I do fine in submission tournaments. Although,it is highly frowned upon in this system. I do,however,limit the techniques to safer ones.
Sorry I didn't mean to say there was none, but this seems very much like a form of jujitsu. There are some things that have aiki, but this seems more technical and utilizing mechanics and what not...
I know this sounds weird, but the ki that can be described, is not the true ki. But I'll try my best ;)
All martial arts use ki, to a certain extent. Some use it more potently or some lightly. Some attain it by harsh physical practice or soft easy going practice almost like meditation. Its the way of not using strength but your inner energy and harmonizing with your opponent. Of course there are other ways as well. However, something like this would simply be good jujutsu with nice mechanics.
good luck finding someone who can really tell you what ki is lol...and if you ever find one who can really tell you....let me know because i have yet to meet anyone who can.
Actually, I prefer calling it jujutsu, not jujitsu. The word "jutsu" means "art", and jujutsu means "gentle art". Putting an 'i' there where there should be a 'u' is a western corruption of the word.
Not to be picky back, but 'ju' literally means soft, as in when used in the style of goju-ryu karate, which means "hard/soft style". In Japanese kanji, characters, unlike letters, are words unto themselves, and the words ju and jutsu joined together translate from Japanese to English as "the gentle art." This is not in dispute -- it has been public record for decades. Western romanization corrupts words into things like "jitsu" but it is not proper spelling.
It depends on what context you put it in. You are right about Gojuryu meaning hard/soft. But jujutsu isn't soft and from what I have heard and been told it means flexible art.
I don't mean to take the high horse or anything, but I live in Japan and I am half Japanese and my martial arts teacher is Japanese. So, what I have heard is that Jujutsu in the context of the martial art is referring more to flexibility. Possibly from being able to transition from sword to nothing in a flexible manner.
I'm not sure, but soft and flexible could be synonymous in Japanese Kanji. Soft can also mean "yielding". All I know is that in all of the research I've done -- I'm a student of Kenpo myself -- Jujutsu translates to "soft art", or "gentle art" here in the U.S. Even the Gracie family with their horribly misspelled Brazilian "Jiu-Jitsu" refer to it as the "gentle art". I guess it's like "Ken" having two meanings as well. In "Kenjutsu", it means "sword art", but "Kenpo" means "fist law".
I guess it could, but I just don't understand why its called soft. even Aikijutsu (as in the old school Japanese version) that shit is pretty brutal, even old school jujutsu. I guess its soft since your not smacking the guy up and thats why the Gracies refer to it as soft since thats what they believe in (not smacking the guy). As for the word Kenpo, thats the japanese language. When you hear the word ken its refering to something else but it sounds just the same as "sword."
Well, not really. "Jiu" is the western spelling of the word, since the Hepburn Romanization often causes Asian words to be altered according to their phonetic spelling as opposed to their actual spelling. "Jutsu" is the Japanese word for "art" or "study," and "Ju" is the word for "soft", "gentle", or "flexible", which is why the Karate style "Goju-Ryu"(hard/soft style) is not spelled "Gojiu-Ryu."
"Jujutsu" means "gentle art." The word "Jiu-Jitsu" is the western corruption of the word.
I believe there is a lot of good resources that explain the use of "ju," in regards to jujutsu, or it's influence it it's meaning. Toby Threadgill has some interesting things to point out about specifically the difference between Jujutsu, Aikijujutsu, and Aikujustu. Also there are articles out there with specifically the way in which Daito Ryu has used these terms for many generations. Perhaps they mightbroaden your idea of what Jujutsu means, or how the term is used.
@jordanhaasmusic I love to read these arguments, they are so helpful. Maybe you could explain to me why my Takeda-Ryu teacher (studied in Japan) calls his Aiki-no-jujutsu and why every Tae Kwon Do school in my area has the word "Karate" on the store front? (Curious 32 year student of Okinawan Martial Arts) jus' saying.
Nice...I try to explain that the word "ju" in Martial arts is translated closer to a philosophy than a word. All people see is the techniques, they don't understand, that you can still use the principle of "JU" with a variety of techniques. It's utilizing your opponents energy to unbalance them, and letting them defeat themselves. Yielding their energy, It's about energy and balance not technique. So, I love your explanation to people love to simplify.
1. Aiki jujitsu shown in this video is authentic, i.e. it is of japanese origin (all three Serei sensei have studied under M. Mochizuki directly - who studied with both J. Kano and M. Ueshiba extensively).
2. Pascal Serei sensei recieved his 8th dan from the World Yoseikan Fed. in 2008. He also has a 5th dan in Aikibudo (FIA), 5th dan in Aikido (YWF),3rd dan in Kobudo, 2nd dan in Judo and the list goes on.
3.Before disrespecting his art, please visit his dojo in Montreal, which will greet you.
but that is my answer. just because you study judo and aikido doesnt mean that you automatically do aikijujutsu. it means you do aikido and judo. aikijujutsu was a battlefield art. judo and aikido are most certainly not.
I feel your positive definition is coming --> the word "jutsu" is what is important, right? Battlefield art opposed to the "do" of Judo (fighting sport) and Aikido ("non-violent" martial art).
If I follow you, Aikijujutsu is a battlefield art. If I say that it is the battlefield art that is the origin of both Judo and Aikido, do you follow me?
If you do, then you can conceive that using Judo and AikiBUdo techniques the way they were used on the battlefield can be something like Aikijujuts
u. What I mean is that the art the Serei developped is neither a sport nor a non-violent harmony with the enemy without hurting him self-defence. It is a self-defence art including jujutsu techniques and aikibudo techniques used in a way to deal with a real life (street) threat. We are thaught to control or destroy joints, to strangle, to fight with boken, to fight back against knives, to punch and kick efficiently, etc.
Is this satisfying to your conception of Aikijujutsu?
Well my Irish budy, you are right, in your way of thinking! Your perspective is just that, it is yours! Everyone does his/her martial art for their own reasons. Some want street effectiveness while others are looking for a philosophy to live by. The important thing is we all listen to each other and treat each other fairly. Seems pretty simple, but does not always work out that way!
Everyone has a right to their own view! I'm not sure if this is "real" aikijujitsu or if it is some other mixed martial art. It looks really effective, and to me, that is what really counts. Daito-ryu has its place for the traditionalists and perhaps it is effective also. Everyone thinks their art is the best! Right?
Traditional Daitoryu is an unique martial art. In the West we use the term aikijujutsu to mean something other than the traditional Daitoryu of Japan. I guess the term aikibudo would be a better way to term these arts over here. There is a place for all the "aiki" martial arts regardless where they are from. Daitoryu is the original aiki martial art and it deserves a high level of respect from all of us.
You are correct. One of my Japanese senseis told me of an older aiki art, he called it aiki-en. He explained it was not like aiki today but closer to a jujutsu with ground work rolled in. I'm sure that the original aiki arts went by other names, depending where they were from. Thanks for your great comment, I enjoyed it!
Thanks for +your+ kind reply. I've only been on youtube for a short time and have seen incredible dissension, disrespect and lack of etiquette ... and that's just among the Aikidoka!!! Any time I post, I brace myself for the response. And forget about the ones that don't do Aikido. There are some non-Aikidoka that do deserve a proper response and an attempt to see it tru their eyes.
Westerners do not understand aiki, since they cannot see how it works like jujutsu yu can see the joint lock, aiki it attacks the reflex and spine so they discount it as fake. See daito ryu Okamoto for true aiki,or Inoue shihan,This is jujutsu mixed , not bad..good, yes but not aiki.
I am 20yr student of Takumakai Daitoryu here in Osaka. Many in west not uderstand daitoryu. Stiff is for tori to have space to judge ma ai and perception of attack. Sokaku's son taught this way. Other styles of daito ryu, kodokai, roppokai, Sagawa ha do not use that kata form attack.
Whatever you desire to call it, it is very good! Does not look like aikido or any style of aiki I've seen. Looks more like jujutsu. It surely is not Daitoryu, as it looks too real life!!! No offense to Daitoryu, but DR looks rather "old world" and stiff.
I've been to Pascal and Andre's dojo and I can tell you they're both very good. If you want more info you can go to their website, just type "Andre Jacques Serei" in google to find it.
This style is much different to the traditional Aikijujutsu spawned from Sokaku. Does this dojo have official documents relating it back to the Sokaku line or is it a side spawn? Because this looks alot more Jujutsu then Aiki.
