I personally think Japanese or traditional ju jitsu the way it is taught is a complete waste of time,sparring with a none resisting opponent is useless it teaches u how to do some nice locks n throws but in reality against a fully resisting opponent u wouldn't be able to do the majority of it,judo or bjj is 100 times better,ur constantly sparring with a fully resisting opponent,which gives u great grappling skills and alot more confidence in a real life situation,this to me is a waste of time,j

@matperry65 There is lots of sparring in traditional jiu jitsu, watch a sport jiu jitsu match. These techniques in testing are merely how you learn the basics. Judo and BJJ both came from traditional JJ.

why dont you have your feet together when doing hip throw ?

[TheDRock420]

@boris999222666 Less stable that way, are supposed to be shoulder width

[BlackShinobiShozoku]

@TheDRock420 Doesn't look that way to me. Especially when it came time for sparring. When you widened your stance for a hip throw, but since your hips aren't stable enough to become a fulcrum for the hipthrow. He easily countered you. Now maybe if you were doing a throw like Tai otoshi. That would be a nice stance to take while throwing, but even then you still want a stable leg to stand on. With that stance you have no leverage to throw, since you can barely support your own weight.

@BlackShinobiShozoku there was no hip throw attempt in the sparring. I forget the name of the throw I was even attempting, i just didn't go at it fast enough, learned it like the day before. are you seriously suggesting with your legs shoulder width you can just barely support your own weight?

@TheDRock420

Not what i've been taught? Obviously a little discrepancy is fine but in the video they are online with the Ukes which isn't the best way tbh

I do this every Tuesday night it's great glad I started doing it again I got my yellow belt 2 years ago I could be orange by now :L

[TheObelix876]

even though spreading your legs abit is not a big issue i would advice you to keep both your legs within the with of the uke,,, sry for fail english gj btw hope you passed

the art of falling! 

[drux186]

if this is traditional jj why are you using a blue gi?

[ShadowIrOnIcz]

@matperry65 it worked in hundreds of years for the Samurais plus i've once befor got my ass kicked by a ju jitsu White belt.

@matperry65 Ok, well when you get into a fight with somebody who knows ju jitsu, then you can judge. Watch another video of ju jitsu throws ad you will see why it's useful. The whole point of Ju jitsu is to use your opponents strength against them. Weather they are resisting or not, if they throw a punch or kick, there will be a lock or throw you can use to counter it perfectly. If they resist, it will hurt them more. It is a very, very effective way to deal with a confrontation on the street.
