Check out the book "Yawara, The Ancient Japanese Martial Art of Jujitsu". It has a full chapter on the origin of 7 distinct lineage of Jujitsu, in which 3 are originated in Chinese Shuaijiao and Qinna schools. The name Jujitsu us created by the founder of Kaneguchi Ryu which in early 1500's adopted Taoist classic Lao Zi's philosophy of Rou (Ju) as the main core of this new style of martial art.

Not bad not bad...but why is he pulling the opponent over on a scissor sweep? That's not ju jitsu--that's reliance on brute force.

[mafm]

I think it's really smart to pull the person forward. it doesn't take any strength with a good grip, it takes the weight away from their base, making it really easy to scissor sweep + control them. by pulling forward he's actually making the technique stronger, not strength dependent.

[demandango]

that IS the technique. that's how a scissor sweep works. if you don't pull your opponent forward to break base, then it's bad jiujitsu.

[chucknorrispranks]

raffogator, he's just doing that for kuzushi, and yes that is ju jutsu.

Tyvm, for the upload!!! i wait to next weak to se why not cross the legs :D

[pythonmma]

You dont cross your feet on arm bars becuase it creates space between your thighs, your thighs should be tight I try to imagine I have a egg between my knees and I am trying to crush it. I do see some people cross there legs to convert to a reverse bent arm though.

tyvm for the info. i learn that in the hard way T.T
