Powerful Jujitsu Throws and Locks - Keith Schwartz

Why are they not "reiing" their partners?

[lastdaysguitar]

@Teilaxu Why should they? This is an American judo class, here in America the practice of bowing in classes is not mandated, but is determined by the instructors preference, which in our case is bowing at start & end of class, randori, & shiai.

In the spirit of the judo maxim of Seiryoku Zenyo, we are not slaves to ANY cultural tradition and do not perpetuate habits blindly, but rather when & where they make sense... rest assured, everyone respects each other, & also other clubs.

Ahhhhh ;) authentic budo, why don't people think judo has no strikes?

[MrFraserj]

good techniques but a lot talking, not much students practice.

@MrFraserj Your seeing an edited 10 mns of INSTRUCTION in a 2.5 hour workout (students who compete require 3 class a week minimum) over 70% of the people on the mat several time MN state champs, with a few national competitors here as well. My record as a coach is one of the best in our region: 47 state champs; 9 national place winners, 2 national champs in less than 10 years into the program, they're being well trained with the same approach I recieved from olympic champions & int. coaches.

What ryu of jujutsu did you study? Looks like maybe kito ryu to me but that's just a guess. In any case very smooth.

[lastdaysguitar]

@Tovish1988 I've studied several ryu since I started martial arts at age 9 (I'm 51 now), and Kito ryu was certainly one of them, but I have to say one the most influential jujitsu teachers for me was a wonderful master called Kazuo Hirayama - who was/is Master Mifune's last living Judo student, & taught a EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE art not even classified as jujitsu: Shorinji Kempo.
