American Jiu Jitsu

[Dunstenchecksin]

Congratulations on ur 2nd degree dude :) Very good video thanks. I do BJJ andlove it wish i started when was much younger but its a big part of my life now thats the main thing :) Look forward to more of ur vids.

[jessecatalano]

@Dunstenchecksin Thank you very much. This video was taken 3 years ago, I will be testing for my 3rd Degree (Sandan) Black Belt at this upcoming summer 2012 :) Surely I will make another highlight video, but my big plan, (New Years Resolution) is to create free promotional/free informational training videos that will be released to aspiring martial artists

[KevinWood44]

This is the first video on that website that isnt complete crap!

[CONCRETECOWBOY88]

IF HE WAS TO TO A USE A RESISTING OPPONENT, THE VIDEO WOULD'NT LAST TO LONG, GREAT JOB JESSE

[amo0711]

awesome dude well done!!!!

[samrox2001]

love the music!

[adubrd1223]

that was awesome

[edujt5]

american jiu jitsu? what the fuck...? not exist

[CyBeRTRoNFLuX]

very nice. congrats

[ajizzlejiujitsudog]

This is a joke. Not pratical. A Bjj fighter would wipe the floor with you. An 18 year old black belt? You wouldn't last a day in a good bjj school. American Jiu Jitsu is a joke.

[scarred10]

@ajizzlejiujitsudog there are 6 yr old black belts in many styles,crap styles mostly.THIS IS TRUELY A JOKE

[ajizzlejiujitsudog]

@scarred10 True that. It's funny that they made american jiu jitsu now. I guess there jealous that brazilian jiu jitsu is the shit. None them foreigners can be better then america.hahahaha

[CasualSoul]

@ajizzlejiujitsudog Yeah, possibly not, but AJJ is not a fighting art like BJJ. You sound like you don't understand the difference between the fighting arts and the self defense/law enforcement arts. The conflict dynamics are completely different.

[mateusamancio]

@CasualSoul totally different? ok, I'd love to hear some differences

since they are so different that you will not have difficulty explaining to me or will have?

It's the same martial art, more so hypocritical plagiarized

[CasualSoul]

@mateusamancio The difference is simple; in the fighting arts, the training is based on the premise of two equally motivated people wanting to hurt each other and both carrying some concern about losing the battle or being hurt themselves. This is why fights last minutes & assaults last seconds. In self-defense arts, the training focuses on being an unwilling victim to more explosive forms of attack and the training encompasses a larger variety of scenarios including weapons & multiple attackers

[mateusamancio]

@CasualSoul totalmente diferentes? ok,gostaria muitissimo de ouvir algumas diferenças

ja que são tão diferentes você nao tera dificuldade em me explicar ou tera?

It's the same martial art plagiarized so hypocritical

and I do not want to offend sincerely apologize if I offended

[CrowdPleeza]

@ajizzlejiujitsudog

How do you know this isn't practical? You're basing that on what? Have you seen these techniques tried in a real fight or competition from a black belt level stylist? BJJ is good to know but not all situations will require going to the ground.

[Krica5veces]

What happen if the opponent is nude?

[YourLoveLetter]

@Krica5veces then throw them by the balls? that would end the fight pretty fast.

[belizario1979]

Aikido in BBJ = american jiu jitsu??

American jiu jitsu = Jake Shields

[manojitsu1]

Brazil will pro bunch of your queer I'll teach you what is jiu jitsu

[busterbaby92]

 haha

[blakex9]

Why is he such a badass???



[gunlord013]

none of this is practical ..

[CrowdPleeza]

@gunlord013

How do you know?

[BullyDogStyle]

Impressive skills , be blessed!!!

[cmchfx]

Muay Thai do or die

[liorkle]

These videos from your jiu jitsu center are great, but why cant I find any of people using it against a resisting opponent? Im not trying to be difficult like some of these other comments, but if you cant make your moves work against someone who wont let you then how can you make them work against an opponent who wants to hurt you? It becomes no more then the grappling equivalent of point karate? I ask only to gain insight and not illicit any shouting and name calling.

[JCSportz11]

@liorkle I appreciate your comment. This test was more of a demonstration of the skills and experiences I've gained through training since I was 4 years old until i was 18 (in this video). I'm 21 now, and there have been a couple incidents in college where I've had to put my training to use. I was attacked in my sleep freshman year, I won't go into details but let's put it this way...it did not end well for that person.

[MooneShadow]

@JCSportz11

I agree training is training. When used a resistant idiot wont expect it and when in the middle of technique will freeze because the ignorant dosent understant why his force upon a weaker opponent has gone wrong leaving himself vulnerable while your training overwhelms the senses. When he wakes up he becomes enlightened with reality... Maybe he shouldnt have attacked anyone who in his eyes may have seemed weaker then him. People expect for thugs to offer resistance... in a R fight.

[scarred10]

@JCSportz11 mother of jaysus,youve wasted 14 yrs on that crap.What the obviously means is that you need to train against resistance,often full resistance just like wrestling ,kickboxing and judo does.

[shakin007]

The poor bloke in the white Gi must have thought sod this for a laugh after that lot ;-)

[krisnnaabraham]

this is stupid is krav maga with bjj . and this is not sport .

[jopsl4sh]

this is krave magah!!

[tjvacbiz]

Nice video, whats the diference that makes it "american" though? 

[Travoltinha]

american jiu jitsu ? kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU RULEZ !

[kapaneitor]

this is HAPKIDO - HAPKIDO - HAPKIDO and no more.

[JKT6]

looks like a brilliant school

[Icnon2]

There are some resemblance with german jiu-jitsu ( or European Jujutsu ) . interesting .

[sfumatoking]

Again,awesome! Jujitsu rocks! Unparalled for economy and dynamics of motion. Bar none.

[sfumatoking]

Great video with effective techniques. However the technique at 0:53 could be potentially dangerous on the street. He has submission on uke but with his back turned God forbid should someone pull a knife or gun.

[narak666]

Quero ver bater de frente com alguem que faz krav maga..

[beto22468]

nao existe american jiu jitsu ja quer enventar moda vem com golpinho de aikido raipkido e vem falar q e luta de americano aqui e brasil jiu jitsu ou jiu jitsu japones certo esse golpes meio fajuto ainda da as costas toda hora vai achando q e facil assim palhaço !!!

[sabbathye]

he has a Brazilian flag on the shoulders of his kimono...

[Dickhudt44]

this are american jiu jitsu this are self defense are normal jiu jitsu also ? (sorry my bad english) ? (: And GREAT VIDEO ! (:

[vanders1200]

hi there ive been training for about 3 years and your grading is very impressive!

you obviously have a natural ability and very talented, congratulations on your nidan, and i look forward to more of your gradings!

ive got my blue belt next week :-)

[JRoc14NSL]

good shit

[funn56]

good job 

[fumihiro2]

essa poha e AIKIDO e nao american jj....

this is AIKIDO and not jiujitsu....--'

[lori44884]

quero ver fazer isso numa luta de verdade kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[azimian2010]

Nice job brother..controlled techniques and so much diversity.

[djprofyle]

Jesse, this was sick! I enjoyed this a lot. Reminds me of Aikido though. Any similiarities?

[BlackShinobiShozoku]

This is very good, but some of it is a little too flashy.

[OoRaHDaWg21]

I am in the Marine corps, and in Infantry they teach us Jujitsu...because I will never forget what my USMC Combat instructors told me and that is BJJ users are trained to go 5 rounds in a sport, WE TRAIN TO END IT IN 5 SECONDS! OORAH.....So all you BJJ users talking shit just remember that

[EndDepravity]

@OoRaHDaWg21 LOL! Nigga u gay.

[Lordasia]

@OoRaHDaWg21 Your instuctor was wrong. BJJ doesn't have rounds he or you got it confused with MMA.

[CasualSoul]

@OoRaHDaWg21 Totally; real life violence rarely resembles the "sparring" type of conflict dynamic that MMA and BJJ practitioners primarily train for. Because of increased civilian interaction, modern Marine Corps training is based on the same Use Of Force Continuum taught to law enforcement officers, but the intent is still the same as the older Marine training of kill & destroy....end the conflict in five seconds or less! OORAH And yeah, Japanese Jujutsu is at the core of all this training.

[PsychosGeckos]

American Or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?..

What do you guys think..

i do BJJ FTW..^__^

[S3TPROGRAM]

very nice job!!!

[hoffygirl27]

American Jiu Jitsu = Aikido

[hoffygirl27]

BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU >>>> american jiu jitsu #Fact

[djtone78]

Great Style !!! Nearly the same jiu-jitsu I practised in Belgium with the US Marines ----Keep going on !!!

[funnyvideomakrz101]

this is very realistic and Japanese JJ came before BJJ guys , so its actually not the only form of JJ out there

[SnowMan2595]

poor white guy...LMAO!

[9iNy]

whats the throw at 1:00 called? think its from aikido but not shiho nage is it?

[BrentShiver]

@9iNy No its not shiho nage. The entry is similar... but he is throwing more with the wrist/ extended elbow. Whereas shiho nage the arm is crooked like an ude garame. End result is the same in both though... attacker hurtin on the floor :-P Ill try to find the japanese translation for this throw for ya if I can.

[JCSportz11]

@9iNy

The throw is called, reverse kote-gaeshi. This is a "leaf" hand throw.

Shiho Nage is demonstrated at 4:21-4:33

[parlachinchilla]

what song is this?

[JCSportz11]

@parlachinchilla

Down with the sickness- Disturbed

Get Psycho- Disturbed

Enter Sandman- Metallica

[phollow174]

great job getting the big man on his back :) remember if this weren't a test it would be ok to poke him in the eyes/bite to get him in position lol

[JCSportz11]

@phollow174

Of course! Remember when it comes to self-defense THERE ARE NO RULES.

[alextoyboytkd]

really nice move and love your music choice!

[100rodders]

Good video. Pity about the Brazilian comments tho. Don't they just roll around on the floor? Keep it up JC and hope you go onto further grades.

[JCSportz11]

@100rodders

Thank you very much. It is tough to train consistently while away at college. I will be achieving Sandan 3rd Degree Blackbelt this summer, 2011

[PsychosGeckos]

@100rodders dude bjj is a grampling sport and a sport.

most people who comment might be fan boys.

please dont disrespect bjj.

rolling around on the floor?

do research man..=[

[100rodders]

@PsychosGeckos No disrespect intended. I've done over 40 years of research and am now well past my best so don't challenge me to a dual cos you'll probably win.......cheers

[PsychosGeckos]

@100rodders if youve been doing research, then why would you say rolling on the floor?

its a GRAPPLING sport.

you should do the sport instead of researching it.

dual?

[100rodders]

@PsychosGeckos Hi, What I meant was I've bee training in JJ for over forty years. My only problem with the BJJ system, is that they seem to want to get on the groung asap. Not good in a real situation. but ok for a sport. We do use groundwork in my system but only if you are forced to the floor. I don't disrespect any martial art because what suits one dosen''t suit another. So my comment 'rolling about on the floor' was a bit harsh. Good luck with your BJJ. Cheers

[fwaze]

belive me guys thts not ajj

[tatawbr]

This is lame... BJJ is WAYYYY much better!

[pugghead]

rubbish

[kungfurumblz]

Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. A lot of application, with controlled technique. Its good to see a grading, no matter what level the person is striving for, and i congratulate you on displaying what you have.=)

[JCSportz11]

@kungfurumblz

Thank you very much. I appreciate this. I was 18 in this video. I will be 21 in 4 months, My technique has improved with the continual training my body in the gym and on the mat, as well as my mind off the mat.

[anntonyemerald]

it's a pity to hear that people in this modern times arguing about which style is better it basically comes down to what works for you whether its aikido mma bjj kung fu karate etc . martial arts is about enlightening ones self, for fitness, self defense not about who is better, that's for closed mined morons who don't know better

[slouttop]

Nice video great techniques

[alanamorim09]

plagiarizing all those americans always!!

[Judetehdude]

This isn't American Jiu Jitsu. Just because that name isn't copyrighted yet doesn't mean anyone can take it label it what it isn't.

[joliva30maple]

I train under Sensei Nick Therodorou in watertown, Awesome! thanks for the video

[chicogentao]

porque voce usa uma bandeira do brasil no kimono? haha Brasil melhor que todos!

Why do you use one brasilian flag in your Gi? haha Brasil the best of all

BRASILIAN JIU JITSU >>>>>>>>>>>>> ALL

[joaoglucena]

.orkut.com.br/Main#Community?c­mm=20416390 

[joaoglucena]

somebody else noticed that this is 90% aikido?

alguem mais se ligou que isso ai é 90% aikido?

[zaigor1]

This is not jiu jitsu.

this is good only for hollywood movies.

[salimsvt]

Go fuck yourself, dude... BJJ is the only one in the world. Strands aren't accepted.

Making money with AJJ... Pff

[JCSportz11]

The System I represent, formed and created by O'Sensei Joe Puleio is called American Jiu-Jitsu.

I'm a Certified 2nd Degree Black Belt, I teach private students at home on Long Island and at my college, West Virginia University

I have been consistently training since I was 4 years old, so don't tell me I don't deserve my blackbelt

[SlipGodfatherKnot]

@JCSportz11 can you teach me? lol

[xTheSexNinjax]

@JCSportz11 lol i dont care if u deserve it but its not effective on the streets or a selfdefense system that is a good joke but no real fighting

[JCSportz11]

It is a street self-defense scenario based art including three topics.

1. Free-Fighting self defense, which teaches to deal with the Street attacks both trained or untrained (kicking, punching, blocking, take downs etc)

2. Stand-Up Self Defense, - which teaches to deal with the Self Defense situations from grabs, weapons & law Enforcement Tactics

3. Submission Grappling- which teaches to deal Self-defense from all Ground situations

Our goal is develop Mind Body Unification

[84guilherme]

is it aikido?

there is only one Jiu Jitsu. the real BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU

[JCSportz11]

@84guilherme: This is not strictly Aikdo, although we practice some throws and techniques also performed in Akido.

[slouttop]

@84guilherme  Dude you really have no Concept of real martial arts.BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU is only A SPORT. Do you really want to go to the ground with multiple attackers? BJJ would get their asses kicked. Even the Gracies said they would not advice anyone to go to the floor and BJJ lacked mobility & diversification....I feel sory for you if you think BJJ is THE REAL THING...

[arnie2001]

@84guilherme How can Brazilian Jiu Jitsu be the real and only Jiu Jitsu? It comes from Japan, so that must mean Japanese JU-JITSU is the real style.

[84guilherme]

@arnie2001 hey, Ju Jitsu from Japan. BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU From brazil, we are talking about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, it''s different, but i think BJJ is better than AJJ, my opinion.

okay?

in december 2010 i ll go to usa, we talk better if you want.

[BJJHomos]

@84guilherme "real" Brazilian jiu jitsu? What they hell are you talking about? BJJ is not even JuJitsu it's based upon Kosen Judo? JuJitsu by definition has punches, kicks, weapon defense, multiple attacker defense etc..etc...BJJ is a good grappeling sport. But JuJitsu was around 100's of years before the Gracies. Considering that it was the art of the Samurai and the Samurai were the greatest warriors of all time---I'm sure it works just fine. Where are you new school born in 1984 idiots from?

[CasualSoul]

@84guilherme lol. This video is AJJ, which is a modern style of Japanese Jujutsu. It has some aspects that look like Aikido because Aikido is derived from Koryu Jujutsu (Daito Ryu Aiki-Jujutsu to be precise). I hate to rain on your parade, but Brazilian Jiu Jitsu shouldn't really be considered a style of jujutsu as it is derived from Judo. Kano developed Judo from the less dangerous techniques of Tenjin Shinyo-ryu and Kito-ryu jujutsu. Kano's student, Maeda, is who taught the Gracie family.

[JCSportz11]

@CasualSoul

Excellent. This is exactly right

[diogocomex]

hey! you can't sell fake products in America! Please give your pupils the real BJJ and stop making bullshit!

[6873111]

It took time to americans see that they could use tecniques from BJJ and call it American Jiu

-jitsu..hahahah that's really really sad.

[mdub2000]

wow sweet techniques...congratulations as well...talk about a complete art geeez that was awsome. Sure the grappling wasnt a resisting fighter but thats ok it was simply to demonstrate that you know the technique...is this related to danzan ryu from jujitsuamerica??? just curious...please let me know cause if that was the case i'd be interested since theres a school near me.

[billysue2]

@ mdub2000 without resistance the whole thing is meaningless , he May Not Be Able to Do Anything Against resistance and so shouldn't Be A Black Belt at all.He Grilles shouldn't get is knowing tech, i know Every tech in bjj But couldnt Them People on most above in purple Belt Wrestling, so Therefore i should be purple not black.

[xjwblulabelx]

to jim505: unless you have a giant S on your chest im sure there are hundreds of people that can dominate you.

[loudnproud]

looks pretty good. I dont know about that one with the knife to the neck though, think id just give em my moooney. other than that looks pretty good, that kid has skill!

[EvilLeprecon20]

is this supposed to be American JUJITSU as opposed to "American Jiu Jitsu" like how the brazilians spell it,

[AmericanJiuJitsu]

Jim, You have already lost.

[mand1sh3p]

I just took my first ju jitsu class last night...long way to go and looking forward to learning and excelling in the art.

[dualmass]

Ha-ha! nothing better than a willing "opponet"!

[JunFanJKDfighter]

It's one of many ways to hone in techniques for sparring. I guarantee that they spar for real as well. Even in BJJ, they have to demonstrate and practice the technique until they go live.

[n8radamus]

Nice vid! love the wrist locks

[ehmjay10]

cheers for the vid!! :D

[zanshinjiujitsu]

Excellent Job Jesse! Make sure you credit Charlie for the live grappling section... Suberb representation for Nidan!

[WebbStart]

Excellent Video, I'm taking American Jiu Jitsu :D

[TriangularCloud]

its sooo awesome.

[WebbStart]

yeah, i guess
