my school is only $20 a month, and i like it. i haven't been doing it for very long, but i learned a lot in the short amount of time i was there for. i will get back into it soon. my schedule is too busy at the moment, though.
that is quite normal, the beaten to a pulp type thing. a lot of these schools, especially brazillian ju jitsu ones, they want to take your money, and they dont give a crap about you. they just care about paying the rent.
I would suggest if you look to other martial arts in the future, try to see if you can train privately one on one with your insructor.
I can assure you that is not the way we train at DZR NYC. We are a small club run on a nonprofit basis at very reasonable fees (no contracts, no grading fees etc. We don't even get charged for the physical belt), and while we try to train hard, any time we spar, we are reminded to take care of each other, avoid inflicting injuries, and bring along the new guys with encouragement.
@aknowneemus . It's different. BJJ is an offshoot of Kano's judo (I believe it was still called jiujutsu sometimes then). At that stage Kano had removed a lot of the striking techniques etc.In Brazil it was refined further and developed its emphasis on groundfighting. Most pure BJJ players would cheerfully admit they don't spend much time on throwing, falling or striking. That said, they have great conditioning, and get a lot of groundfighting experience through constant playing
@aknowneemus . DZR on the other hand, follows the traditional emphasis on several components groundfighting, throwing, falling, vulnerable points, choking and locking, striking. Different dojos emphasize different elements, although they have the same core syllabus. At the DZR NYC dojo in addition to the traditional elements and self defence arts, we do a lot of conditioning, and we also spar under judo rules in stand-up and ground fighting to allow people to test their technique under stress.
My experience with DZR was quite poor. I went to a DZR studio as child looking to learn self-defense as I was being bullied & beaten nearly everyday. The instructors told my father some philosophical junk & I was enrolled for 2 years. I trained as hard as I could but their was no emphasis on practical application. I continued to be bullied & beaten to a pulp. None of that changed until I quit & joined an American Kenpo school. The only thing good I learned through DZR was how to break a fall.
@namayake I'm surprised to hear of your experience. I don't represent DZR Jujitsu - I can only speak as one participant – but I've found that the AJJF (one of several DZR organizations) is committed to the esoteric principles of the founder, Henry Okazaki, which focus on honoring your elders and perfection of character. And generally trains with a deep sense of kokua (mutual benefit.) Martial arts practically is ripe for endless trolling... but I'm glad you found something that works for you.
@sandmanfluidfilm Seems like the idea of "kokua" was thrown out the window. They took my father's money, I learned nothing - unless becoming a part of a quasi-spiritual, pacifist community was what I was supposed to get for what they were charging my father every month. That was hardly my reason for going though. But I think my experience is to be expected from an art that refuses teaching anyone even just how to block a punch until they're a black belt.
@namayake Danzan Ryu, like any martial art, should not be mistaken for self-defense training. If you want self-defense, take a self-defense class. And there are much, much better ways to help a child deal with bullying than martial arts training. The only good reason to train martial arts is to enjoy martial arts training. Go to a dojo looking for anything else and you will be disappointed.
@storyacoustic As someone who's practiced martial arts for the past 20 years, I beg to differ. The Kenpo school I went to as a child was complete art centered in practicality. It was not some watered down "quick fix" self-defense course designed to quickly get people up speed, with glaring holes in it's training. Yet it taught students self-defense immediately. Free, heavy contact sparring was mandatory within the first few weeks of practice. [Part 1]
@storyacoustic Really it depends on the emphasis of the school. Some focus on the philosophical/spiritual side with community at it's center, others focus on sport & showmanship while others focus on practicality. Unfortunately most of the non-practical nature are either poorly informed or outright lie about their focus. The more they can convince that their art is suited for, the more students they'll obtain & the more money they'll make, but at the expense of ill-informed students. [Part 2]
@storyacoustic And lastly, your viewpoint on dealing with bullies is too idealistic. In my case parents, teachers & local authorities refused to get personally involved for various reasons & excuses. It was left up to me to solve my own problem. Fortunately my father was willing to help me learn to properly defend myself by financing my studying of martial arts. If not for that I would have continued to be a victim of predatory violence. [Part 3 - End]
@namayake On the contrary, I think it is idealistic to think that you can send a kid to a few weeks of stylized martial arts training and solve all his bullying problems.
@namayake My point is that people who start martial arts training for the purpose of solving problems with bullies are usually disappointed, because (a) the vast majority of martial arts training programs are not self-defense programs, and (b) learning to fight is as likely to make problems of violence worse as to solve them. It's horrible that you were left to solve this problem on your own, and lucky that you found a program that really helped you, but that's not how it usually works.
@storyacoustic In addressing your first point, that's probably true. Your second point though, all I can say is maybe. It's true things might escalate if a group of hoodlums find they can't squash their favorite target anymore, not so easily anyway & they refuse to accept it. Maybe I got lucky, but welcome to the reality of American society. We have a culture that values power, not justice, & our laws & politics reflect it. Why would things be any different on a personal level? [Part 1]
@storyacoustic In the US might makes right, & it's very much the same if you look at any other 3rd world country. Those with wealth have power over those with inferior wealth, & those more capable of violence have power over those less capable. I'm not saying this is right, in fact I would very much prefer it otherwise. But until the US starts acting like the 1st world country it claims to be, putting reason & justice first, I'm not going to just accept an ideal. [Part 2]
@storyacoustic I won't sit back, do nothing & teach others the same because "that's not how it usually works". That's a lie! That's how it works everyday in this country. If you aren't financially equipped to back yourself legally then all you *have* is violence. You avoid it when you can but if you can't, you fight like hell! & I feel bad for those who refuse to accept it, but that's the system here! Don't like it? Then fight to change it or move! But don't you dare lie about it! [Part 3 - End]
@namayake Well, don't feel bad, I stuck with it until shodan. It's fun, but is not really taught with an eye towards practicality. It's all about "kata" and doing it EXACTLY like Okazaki. It is very easy to delude yourself --with any martial art-- but when you don't spar at all, the problem is greatly compounded.
@shenzino Trying emulate "Osensei" seems like idol worship to me, which seems to be a common theme in many traditional Japanese martial arts (ie Aikido). So is having some "spiritual" philosophy at it's core. What I wonder is how much of the money these schools take goes directly to foundations setup in the names of the founders? It makes me think of L. Ron Hubbard & the Scientology Foundation.
@moelicious416 I am a former Judoka and a current Sambo player ... this style has techniques I never seen before in modern Judo/Sambo. This seems to incorporate some of Aikido, which is beautiful.
@pcjudosambo this system incorporates something called Hawiian Lua. Master Okazaki was one of the few foreigners taught lua at his time. If you look up Lua fighting techniques you will see it everywhere, from white belt to black.
i am a blue belt in this art and at the dojo i go to we do a lot of throws and what not to each other so i dont know if thats what you consider sparring jukido987 but all i know is its a really fun art to learn
Dear friend Tr3wl, feel free to see a short training (filmed from a student of mine) I-Shin Karate and I-Shin Karate II you will like it too, so I hope. Best greetings Shihan Bernd
Nice demonstration. It is not always about fighting against people. It is to find your self and fight your weakness, and this with fun. Find your inner peace. Not always to say this is the best and only working stile etc. We have to many stiles out there they are very good. All Martial Arts members should be a large family and learn from each other, not important what stile you train.
@vaultbull706 This looks like the same style of jujitsu my dojo does. This looks like a traditional jujitsu school; the art is the grandfather of karate, aikido, judo, brazilian, etc; there are so many techniques that you will eventually learn the Ne Waza techniques.
Whenever I tell anyone I practice jujitsu, they automatically assume Brazilian Jiujitsu.
In my opinion Danzan Rye Ju Jit Su Is the best martail art under the sun. It is undoubtedly effective, and is an art that has more benefits than any other art.
After the founder of this Beautiful system died, the integrity of this art started to slowly decline, especially after the death of Bud Estes. now most DZR guys are a bunch of kooks who forgot the fighting roots of the art. there may still be a few left but you could count them on one hand in the whole world! Okazaki was, among other things, a fighter! he based his system off of real fighting, nowadays it's against the "rules" in all danzan ryu schools to spar. okazaki is turning over in grave!
I think a lot of that comes from the cost of insurance and fear of injury lawsuits. Many of us here cross train in Judo and we get an opportunity to go full-force/full-speed that way. But that's also where you get a lot of injuries. You need both. My philosophy is you might as well do some competition when you're young; but if you want to practice when you're 50, 60+, keep up the kata. That way you'll still be dangerous when you're an old fart.
although the injury victims are merely practicing their rights, this is exactly what u get if you wanna take Martial Arts seriously. infact the same thing can be said about all sports. Dont expect to learn effective self defense without getting hurt a little. imho unless u are in ur 50's, if u are not willing to get hurt to learn, dont come, dont bash the dojo for teaching u the right stuff
Hey, There is a very disrespectful site on the internet called "danzan ryu bullshido" and there are hundreds of guys on there ragging on this beautiful art. you guys should check it out.
@sandmanfluidfilm well said, although at age 50+, you might wanna consider Tai Chi if you've never trained in any art your whole life...just my opinion.
You have a point about how many systems have softened up. Fortunately I have an instructer who stress the combat portion of the art. We go full blast in many of the Black Belt/ Brown belt classes. I have the black eye and bruises to prove it LOL! At lower levels you just have to take it slow. They dont know how to fall and you will cripple someone if you go 100%
I Agree ironhand09. If you don't know how to fall, you're Fu@#ed! and i believe that you should Spar hard every now and then so you know what its like to feel resistance. you dont want to find out what if your techs work for the first time in a real life or death situation. hopefully we never have to use our Art against anyone, but you learn it as an insurance policy for just in case. Among other reasons.
we were always taught (this is coming from wally jay sensei gomez top student and gomez was okazakis top student) that a true jujitsu practitioner should never strike his offender and that it was a peaceful art and that one only needs his jujitsu and nothing else. but these are old teachings, when class mates went and met wally jay at a judo comp (the judo class with sensei siroy) they said wally jay spoke to them how he thought dzr and small circle were impracticle these days...
It seems odd that you say you should never strike the offender when Shinyo has a large amount of striking including Denko and Ate mi. Not to mention Shingin is all striking arts. just a thought....
I learned dzr for 4 years from sensei carol harris who learned from wally jay and taught at his school for over 30 years... It's somewhat similar but we did it more old school style you can tell your ground work is more BJJ than kodenkan, we were always taught to get back on the feet than butterfly... do you guys do any fan arts? okazaki never leaved anywhere with out his iron fan I never got a chance to learn it... and theres no strikes in the original dzr thats more small circle...
Great! Nice to hear from someone in the Ohana. Is your training similar to what you see here? I know we all come from Okazaki, but every dojo is different. Our dojo cross-trains some for competitive Judo, so we do a lot of nage.
Thanks! Sure, lots of common training and conditioning techniques. It all comes from the same root of course. I'm sure they've been shrimping in Japan since before Jigoro Kano.
Jiu Jitsu (or Jujitsu or Jujutsu) is transliterated from the Japanese word 柔術, which means "yielding art". Because converting Japanese or Chinese characters into an English or Latin alphabet is based on the sounds of the words, there are often several interpretations. For instance, 氣功 Qigong is also written as "Ch'i Kung" in English.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which originated with Mitsuyo Maeda, is often written "Jiu Jitsu". Lineages from Seishiro Okazaki tend to use the spelling "Jujitsu".
my school is only $20 a month, and i like it. i haven't been doing it for very long, but i learned a lot in the short amount of time i was there for. i will get back into it soon. my schedule is too busy at the moment, though.

I learned dzr for 4 years from sensei carol harris who learned from wally jay and taught at his school for over 30 years... It's somewhat similar but we did it more old school style you can tell your ground work is more BJJ than kodenkan, we were always taught to get back on the feet than butterfly... do you guys do any fan arts? okazaki never leaved anywhere with out his iron fan I never got a chance to learn it... and theres no strikes in the original dzr thats more small circle...

Great! Nice to hear from someone in the Ohana. Is your training similar to what you see here? I know we all come from Okazaki, but every dojo is different. Our dojo cross-trains some for competitive Judo, so we do a lot of nage.

Pretty similar but we do not have tournements to much so we don't work Randori much. We usally just work on techniques for our next rank.

Awesome video! Looks like you do some BJJ style warm ups with the shrimping, etc. Really cool!

Thanks! Sure, lots of common training and conditioning techniques. It all comes from the same root of course. I'm sure they've been shrimping in Japan since before Jigoro Kano.

Jiu Jitsu (or Jujitsu or Jujutsu) is transliterated from the Japanese word 柔術, which means "yielding art". Because converting Japanese or Chinese characters into an English or Latin alphabet is based on the sounds of the words, there are often several interpretations. For instance, 氣功 Qigong is also written as "Ch'i Kung" in English.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which originated with Mitsuyo Maeda, is often written "Jiu Jitsu". Lineages from Seishiro Okazaki tend to use the spelling "Jujitsu".
