I agree. However, as your using the jujitsu spelling (there is no jitsu in martial arts) your confusing a general statement about the modern evolution of "jujitsu" and the meaning of "jujutsu" , which is defined as a Japanese martial art. Thus, I think the viewer's use of the term authentic. Not everyone knows the etymology or transliteration of the term so I prefer to use the term "classical"

@metl99 I train in Daito Ryu, Hakko Ryu (also a Daito Ryu derivative) and Toraken Ryu (a Hakko Ryu derivative). The demonstration is both Hakko Ryu and Toraken Ryu. I am happy to hear from you. One of my teachers also trained in Hapkido and remarked at how similar some of the techniques are. If I can be of assistance in your research let me know. Greetings from Virginia, USA.

There is no "authentic" jujitsu. No one family or person developed it. Besides, any art that doesn't evolve over time, any art that isn't alive isn't worth learning.

Excellent video. I have practiced classical jujitsu for 12 years and this video shows the most authentic jujitsu I have seen on YouTube. Many videos are concerned with "mma" and "Brazilian jujitsu" it is important to note that not everyone who practices is concerned with fighting and competition, for thousands of people the martial arts is a past-time and thousands of us enjoy the classical styles regardless of people's opinion on their effectiveness in the ring

Good one Sensei, I did Aikido few years but surely would rate this basics you showed as very easy to understand and very well executed and the falls on hard surface Wow! every Dojo should in fact do it as in real life there are no mats to protect us. As mentioned by you to learn any martial arts one has to train under a good Sensei in a Dojo as many a very important points even in basics cannot be fully understood from a book or even for that matter a good video. Great work Sensei keep it going
