Introducing Aiki Jujutsu to Brunei

In 2006 i had the chance to introduce "Jujutsu" to a hand full of Bruneians in Brunei Darussalam in one of the government-owned multi-purpose sports building. The building is not owned by any individual clubs or society, the building is also being used used by several other sports and martial arts societies.

Because the room is regularly used by the Aikido Club, that is why you see the Aikido banner in the background. The room was hired during the weekend to conduct this class. The room was not used by any martial arts society or sports club at that day. We used the room because of its matted ground facilities.

Due to legal and organizational reasons, i have to state this video is NOT affiliated to Brunei Darussalam Aikido Federation or the International Aikido Federation. The methods, techniques or movements that i teach does not in any way disrespect nor am i trying to influence thier official syllabus in any way.

I am teaching aikijujutsu to willing individual from varied martial arts backgrounds such as silat, karate, kungfu and kendo, etc, as personal developement and the sharing of knowledge. In no means what soever was the class organized exclusiveley for aikido practitioners, it was welcome for all.

AN EFFICIENT DEFENSIVE ART.

Practitioners learn to avoid conflict whenever possible. They also learn to take control of difficult situations and to eliminate the threat to their personal safety and those close to them when violence is unavoidable.

Rather than using strength and meeting force with force, practitioners learn to redirect the attacker's energy by using leverage and understanding of balance (kuzushi). This helps neutralize the attacker's size/strength advantage. A wide variety of techniques are taught to prepare practitioners for a broad range of situations; other than hand strikes, kicks, grabs etc.

Aiki Jujutsu is suitable for everyone; regardless of your fitness level, gender or age, which makes it devastating when used to defend oneself or loved ones on the streets.

It will instill you with a new level of self confidence that you can really depend on.

Unarmed Aiki Jujutsu techniques include:-

- pressure point striking techniques,
- throws & projections,
- chokes,
- nerve attacks,
- joint control, restrain & manipulation,
- grappling
- etc;

defending against:-

- bats and other impact weapons
- bottles and broken bottles,
- knives and other edged weapons,
- other street weapons,
- single or multiple attackers
- etc

making it ideal for military, police and the common public civilian purposes.


MY AIM;

My aim is to promote Brunei Darussalam to the eyes of the world through martial arts. I have trained under masters and taught students from all over the world; english, french, libian, irish, malaysian, filipino, welsh, italian, german, palastinians, south-african, ghanan, americans, canadian, algerian, china chinese, iraqi, hong kong chinese, polish, carrabeans, israeli, jamaican, pakistani, russians, somali, bangladeshi, greeks, gibraltar, etc.

In doing so i have done my part to make people curious and introduce Brunei Darussalam to foreigners and what we Bruneians have to offer. I will continue to do so.


MY SINCERE APPRECIATIONS TO;

I would like to thank Pg M.Alexander Pg Hj Md Don and ALL his friends, colleagues and individuals who participated and giving me the chance to introduce this efficient art and having the open-mind to learn different things and selflessly supporting a local Bruneian against all odds.

Selfless people are very rare, im fortunate to have met these group of people.

I would also like to thank Md Harris Mohamad for his excellent uke skills.

And special appreciation to my brother Mordene Mornie (Dylan) for his patience and dedication.

Beautiful.

By the way, what do you call people from Brunei? Answer: Brunette. I hope you enjoyed that joke.

It really does look more like Aikido. Aiki Jujutsu is more direct!

Respond to this video... (...) cannot successfully teach it's students to use them in a real-life situation if they don't use these techniques in sparring. Using these techniques in sparring can damage your opponent which is why they resort to pre-meditated "i won't touch you but you have to stay still" stuff like this. An MMA guy will be better equipped to use these techniques as he will have a better understanding of distancing, a higher pain threshold, be more relaxed and just plain deadlier

[mrpsb7]

@Djinnmeister No one is claiming MMA to be 'real', it's just as real as it gets, especially compared to all the other hand to hand fighting systems. Head butts will cut a lot easier than a punch especially in someone's guard.

As I said before, sparring is the most important aspect of training for a fight as it conditions you for the heat of the battle, distancing, getting hit etc etc... The martial arts that teach 'deadly street' moves such as groin and throat strikes, eye pokes etc... (contd.)

[Djinnmeister]

@mrpsb7 My point is this, that UFC/MMA fighters should stop believing they are ultimate.

[Djinnmeister]

@mrpsb7 The moment rules are introduced it ceases to be reality based. Headbutts end fights quickly! wow, I never thought of that. So does a well delivered punch, shell we have those banned. By joint attacks I meant with strikes. The only whilst on the ground kicks to opponants knees I've seen were as threatening gestures, not a real attempt at causing the contest to end. A person will use on the streets what they have trained to use for the streets. This is called state conditioned learning....

[mrpsb7]

@Djinnmeister These rules were introduced to make MMA 'cleaner' to audiences to make it more acceptable mainstream. Not to mention the fact that head butts cut people too quickly thus ended fights prematurely. Joint attacks are still legal... ever heard of an armbar? a kneebar? you regular see grounded opponents up-kick towards the opponents knee too... Despite these moves being illegal in competition there is nothing stopping these athletes from using them in the street.

[Djinnmeister]

@mrpsb7 If you're into bottoms lines then here it is. I was cross-training and doing so called MMA way back in 1986. That included Judo, wrestling, Muay Thai and yes Aikido. My Aiki instructor was a prison officer so he got it to work and taught us the same. My point is that when the so-called UFC began the competitors were permitted to go for joint attacks and headbutts and it was then as real as it gets without it being on the streets. Real doesn';t include a referee. Be well.

[mrpsb7]

@Djinnmeister lol, bottom line is if your martial art doesn't focus on sparring with every aspect of fighting (standing, ground etc..) and instead focuses more on pre-meditated bullshit, then it will lose against a more complete fighting system.

MMA is the most complete system as it focuses on ALL areas, the fact that it is a sport does not mean it can't be effective on the street. You call it 'limiting', but It is AS REAL AS IT GETS. It's practitioners get hit for real, something othr arts dnt

[Djinnmeister]

@mrpsb7 Haha, that tells me 1) you'd look at their knees before you struck and 2) you'd throw it as a first strike instead of a combination. I did all my stuff ten years ago before all these stupid limiting rules. Be well.

[mrpsb7]

@Djinnmeister lol post a video on youtube and i'll believe that. Common sense tells me you'd get KTFO the moment you even look at an MMA guy's knees

[netbanshee]

@StormbringerStudios The Jutsu side of Aiki usually leans towards the circle work being smaller and more focused on joint rotation theory. The Do side tends to use larger circles.

I've trained in both over the years. The distinction that Grand Master used to use was "The Do form puts people on the ground. Jutsu Form adds a bit more screaming."

It's also a little less soft, though I don't imply that aikido is soft. I've been effectively put on the floor by both. :)
