Jiu-Jitsu "Little John Davis"

[skyjuiceification]

its funny how with the level of skill these tenth dan cats have it does tend to look very graceful and smooth. but look at how their "opponents" bodies fly around like rag dolls. this stuff is the truth. the true masters make it look pretty.

i was rcently attacked by a guy who basically gave up and went limp after his first attack. i was able to pull out some really crazy moves.

[daseidokid]

Osu one of my idols

[ultimatepicfail]

Soke was always the greatest teacher, he was humble and badass! I trained with him in sarasota fl

[OakvilleMillerFamily]

That is some bad ass stuff - awesome!

[smenasche]

REAL jujitsu.

[elilpz173]

that was awsome, how can I get a copy

[TheSubwaysurfer]

little John had a rep that even non martial artists in the hood knew about back in the day. He was a quadruple threat. Weapons kata, kumite. Full contact bare knuckle, and jui jitsu. In this vid he demonstrates his trademark flying kick scissor technique with such grace it looks like he connected by wires. A true master.

[beowulflokison]

looks like aikido

[bubnjarovski]

looks like wing chun

[learntwostruggle]

Dr. Moses Powell taught him well.

[billyjacc]

That Brother Lil John D. Was Baaaaaad!!!

[ColRaze]

I have often compared fighting styles to a form of art. And i am ashamed to say i never knew about this guy till i watched this vid. but he truely makes Jiu-jitsu look like art!
