So far, it all seems very precise in technique, but only such. The instructor is allowing himself to be thrown into the proper motions, instead of actively resisting against his student. I'd love to see a spar, where the techniques are put to use, with both sides attempting to get the upper hand.
@sailorbarsoom Indeed! Several of these techniques are ones my brother learned in his MMA Kickboxing class. Good techniques get around and stay around !
Thank you for this! Yes, some of this looked a bit "judo-esque," if I can mix languages like that. But then how could it not? The human body is put together a certain way, and certain moves are going to be more effective than others. So any system that's any good will have some similarities to any other system that's any good.
I like the way some of the older knowledge is being rediscovered.
@schizoidboy To put it simply, there's only so many ways you can move the body and remain effective; this applies to swordsmanship, too. For instance, the throw at 1:18 looks a lot like the tomoe nage (suicide/sacrifice throw) from Judo, while a master of the Japanese sword once commented that some techniques from the German longsword looked quite similar to some high level stuff of theirs. So, really, many things will seem similar when they all strive for efficiency.
Excellent, thanks for sharing. Many of these moves live on in current grappling arts - we stand on the shoulders of those who've walked the path before.

I love that you used a young student. That really shows how effective these all can be no matter the size of your opponent.
