Bussey Combatives: Hook-Leg Sweep and Arm Drag

[NIKandSi]

Not to disrespect Mr. Bussey, but reaping the front leg is dangerous and easy to counter with o-soto-gari-gaeshi. Watch Kimura throw Helio Gracie by taking the far leg. Also, watch Yamashida attack the rear leg: he was an expert at o-soto-gari. Train hard!

scott morris was a student of michael bussey. Robert Busseys brother in arlington texas. He was not ready or good enough and was thrown to the wolves. The worst part is that Robert Bussey was presented an award AFTER morris was dertroyed. I quit RBWI soon after.

I was at the Morris fight. I also had trained with a number of Bussey people when I was doing Jiu-jitsu in the late 80's and early 90's. They were decent guys but their ground game at the time was basic wrestling. They pretty much got ate up on the ground. Morris underestimated Pat Smith's strength and got mounted off a bad Suplex. I was told Tank Abbott kicked Smiths' butt later in an elevator. Steve Jennum attended a weekend Gracie seminar and this helped him with his limited UFC success.

WOW!! that looks like fun

[angel2rx]

THAT WAS NICE!! THANKS!

I stand corrected, it was Scott Morris who was a student of Robert Bussey using Ninjitsu that was destroyed by Pat Smith using these same techniques.

[NotByBreadAlone77]

@tyronemallory Keep in mind that in his first fight he set the UFC record by choking out Sean Dougherty in 20 seconds.

Scott Morris is actually a poor example of Ninjutsu. Also, Ninjutsu in it's true form adapts to a multiplicity of fighting styles and incorporates whatever is necessary to succeed so to say it has been defeated is really untrue.

[tyronemallory]

Nothing against Bussey, but I challenge the usefulness of a lot of this. Back when he was calling his art ninjitsu, he was destroyed by Pat Smith in the UFC. He couldn't take him down from a solid base and was helpless against an onslaught of elbows. In a real combat environment, this art was found wanting.

[ProfessorOhms]

Uhhh, Scott Morris didn't use those techniques when he got destroyed.

Steve Jennum is a better example and a more high ranking belt belt who is better known under Robert Bussey

[tyronemallory]

He didn't get a chance to. He rushed over there, tried a take down or a grapple technique of some type and was over whelmed. Now Jennum was a much better fighter, on that I totally agree.

[jicudi]

@tyronemallory The UFC, and MMA in general, is most certainly NOT real combat. It is a sport. Padding, technique limitations, no element of surprise, etc. How is that "realistic"? Granted, many fighters could handle their own on the street, but the fights that I have been in, studied, and witnessed have many angles to be worried about.

Very useful! Thank you!

[coyotelatin]

[bigstickcop]

I love learning defensive tactics/takedowns, ect.

[streeteffective]

Mr Bussey you look good man, keep at it! We need more combative courses out there since this new generation thinks reality is some cage?

[olicc]

Ahh, my old Sensei. Good to see he's still teaching. Much respect.

It's nice to see Sensei in action! Thanks for posting this.
