Anyone teaching jujitsu in the philippines?

i%26#039;m from the island of cebu in the heart of the philippines. i%26#039;d like to learn jujitsu or bjj if there%26#039;s one. anyone knows how and is willing to share and teach people here?|||MMA has made Jujitsu very popular in the Philippines. There are Jujitsu practitioners around. Most clubs just do not advertise so keep an eye on those who do. I have seen some that advertise the style, but don%26#039;t personally know of any clubs in Cebu.|||Jujitsu schools are rare in other Philippines, i think you have to go to the USA or Japan or Brazil to learn jujitsu.

Which technique would be best to pair with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Japanese Jujitsu?

Like, for BJJ, what would be best to combine it with? Capoeira? I was thinking of doing that. Capoeira looks like fun and a good work out.





But I also hear that Japanese JJ is better than Brazilian JJ for self defense. If I were to do Japanese JJ, which other martial art would be best to combine it with?|||Muay Thai! =]|||I must be honest, I am a bit of a traditionalist, but you need to have a good all round fitness as well as be really supple for Capoeira.


I also really enjoy the Bjj as taught by the Gracies, but as a traditionalist, I would agree that the original is the way to go.


As for the best combination for your other choice, I would go for something that has a lot of real situation training, such as a Mixed Martial Art.


As I said before, I am a traditionalist, but we all have to face facts - we live in a violent society, so we need to adapt our strategy accordingly. Check out this site and see if there is a training center close to you!

By the way, cool answer to the hot sauce kid!!|||You could be highly experimental. I am just throwing out a suggestion here. Have you seen white eyebrow? Or the movements in chen style? I take Brazilian Jujitsu and Muai Thai, but I started learning white eyebrow and chen this morning. I see how the 4 martial arts will overlap and create movement patterns that will literaly cause my enemy to see me as a optical illusion based on how I postition my body, cool huh? Check out this site,


http://kungfu.f-sw.com|||There are no best pairs.








Japanese jujitsu is already a combination of arts. Actually it is the origin of several arts. (judo, aikido , and karate all came from jujitsu)





Later BJJ came from judo which came from jujitsu.|||Capoeira is nice and all to keep you in shape


you learn some great moves for showing off





but thats it





if you went to say kick someone in the face, and you planted your hands on the ground


and they gave a solid low level kick


arm versus leg


leg wins


and you fall on your head





my sensei took some capoeria training for about 3 months he said


he uses one kick outa of the whole 3 months in his MMA dojo and its a spinning back kick where you place your hand on the ground for more balance|||Maybe you should try and combine it with a stand-up style like boxing or Muay Thai. Or you can combine it with another type of grappling style to have wider range of techniques for ground games.|||mauy thai

Whose the all time best Judo and Jujitsu masters?

Probably their founders, who were they, and what were they all about?





By the way explain the difference of the two arts.|||JUDO KIYUZO MIFUNE not the founder of judo but probably the best who ever lived.Master of the %26quot;empty gi%26quot;as in wrestling with him was like trying to throw or arm lock an empty gi.Used your technique to beat you one mistake and you were done.He weighed on his best day maybe 140 pounds .They said his opponents who often outweighed him by a 100 pounds looked like elephants trying to throw a butterfly.





JIUJUTSU dont know but the GRACIES father%26#039;s teacher who was expert at both methods according to them was pretty formidable.





Classical jiujutsu is more about defending against knives clubs kicking and punching than grappling a battlefield art not sport.


The nastier stuff was taken out and removed by KANO to form JUDO and he even added 2 or 3 european wrestling moves and emphasized equal attention be given to ground work.|||All the people mentioned are indeed great but a few were great in specialazations within the art not the entire art. Report Abuse
|||Judo(Gene lebell) Because of the fight between him and Milo Savage! He was also a champion in the art!Trained Gokor Chivichiean who is a great grappler!


Jujitsu (Helio Gracie) was a tough master at his time! Some judo guy name Kimura bet him though! Even a move is named after Helio Gracie%26#039;s opponent Kimura!


There%26#039;s allot more but these are the ones on the top of my mind! There both almost the same! Only thing is that depending which Jujitsu(Brazilian,Japanese) One will have more ground Grappling! Judo I seen has more better takedowns in my opinion! They could fight in the guard too but they don%26#039;t do leg locks usually! Also They don%26#039;t usually Stress ground fighting much! They stress throwing more than anything usually! It makes sense though! How else are you going to take it to the ground? There versed in submissions too! To see the difference you%26#039;ll have to watch them on the ground fighting!|||I don%26#039;t know about greatest, but here are a few really good ones.





Joe Holck


Wally Jay


Helio Gracie


Frank Ordonez


Gene Lebell





These are some of the greats of Judo and Jujitsu.|||I think the best Judo fighter ever was Anton Geesink from Holland. He was a three time world champ and even won the olympic gold medal in Judo at the Tokoyo games in front of a very hostile Japenese crowd.





Oh and the Judo founder is Jigoro Kano. Here%26#039;s a link http://www.bstkd.com/JudoHistory/History...

What is the difference between Aikido and Jujitsu?

what is one prominent difference between these styles? meaning that since Aikido was developed from the foundation of Aikijitsu?|||I really like Booyakasha%26#039;s answer.





As a Jiu-jitsuka myself I%26#039;d say evasion and atemi waza combined with various throws and pins.





I%26#039;d love to do Aikido at some point.





Best wishes :)***|||No difference. Aikido is just another form of jiu-jitsu. There are hundreds of styles of jiu-jitsu and several forms.





The term %26#039;jitsu%26#039; designates a %26#039;koryu%26#039; art and %26#039;do%26#039; designates a %26#039;gendai%26#039; art.





In Japan during the Meiji Restoration (1868-1912) everything connected with the Samurai was just about outlawed, including Samurai martial arts. In order to save the martial arts from oblivion, they were toned down making them less deadly, so the koryu arts (jitsu) became the gendai arts (do): examples - Ju-jitsu became Ju-do; Aiki-jitsu became Aiki-do; Ken-jitsu became Ken-do; Kyu-jitsu became Kyu-do, etc. etc.





The difference between Jiu-jitsu and Ju-do is like the difference between bare-knuckle boxing and modern boxing (with gloves); or a gun-fight and paint-ball. The same with the difference between Aikijitsu and Aikido.





In Akijitsu you counter an attack with a punch to the jaw; in Aikido you counter a similar attack with an arm across the neck.|||Jujitsu goes back many hundreds of year, possibly further, depending on the style or school.





Aikido was founded by O-Sensei as a mix of Jujitsu and sword and spear techniques. (Note the subiyashi leg movements, advancing or retreating with the same foot forward all the time. It is quite different from walking.)





The other thing is the philosophy angle. (Anything ending with JUTSU or JITSU is a martial skill, designed to kill the enemy in battle. Pure and simple. Anything ending in DO, such as Ju-do, Aiki-do, Naginata-do, Jo-do is designed as a WAY, or a TAO (the Chinese word).





Morihei Ueshiba was deeply involved in the Omoto religion, and he became a strong pacifist. As he got older, his teachings got softer and more gentle. Thus the Aikido techniques passed on to his eariest students - Kenji Tomiki and Gozo Shioda - were stronger than the ones he taught his students when he was decades older. I%26#039;m not saying O-Sensei was weaker as an old man, though he would have been, but his attitude to the techniques became softer as his skill and outlook became more spiritual.





So let me boil it down. xxx-JITSU (or xxx-JUTSU) techniques were originally designed to cripple or kill. xxx-DO techniques were designed to neutralize an attack with minimum damage possible to the attacker. Of course, this takes great skill... and sometime the minimum force may still end up being deadly force.|||To me it comes down to Control. In Jujitsu the object is to disable an opponent whether it is achieved by breaking his bones or limbs or incapacitating him through strikes, choke holds or throws. In Aikido, the goal is to neutralize your opponent%26#039;s attack and control his movement so he can no longer be a danger to both you and himself without causing unecessary injury or using excessive force.|||There is a story about how OSensei came up with the idea of Aikido. Prior to developing the art, he was well trained in a number of arts including Tenjin Shin%26#039;yo-ryu jujutsu, judo, and later Daito-ryu aiki-jujutsu. All of these arts are descended directly from war arts - where the object is to kill or main your opponent as fast as you can.





Interestingly, this is the reason that jujutsu incorporates throws and arm locks - and uses punches so sparingly. The art was designed against armored opponents, who could care less if you punched them.





Anyhoo, according to the story, OSensei was challenged to a bokken duel by a navel officer in 1925. He was unarmed, and apparently unwilling to duel. The officer lost the duel - supposedly due to OSensei%26#039;s evasiveness that simply wore the officer down. He did not injure the officer, and by all accounts never really even touched him.





This led him to a spiritual awakening, where he decided that budo could be used in a method that honored all living things, including your attacker. Aikido is the systematization of this theory.





Whereas in Aiki jujutsu might use an arm bar to destroy the opponents elbow - in Aikido the objective is to %26quot;light them up%26quot; with the pain, and throw them away prior to causing injury. In practice, this can be difficult to master - and many aikidoka will admit that the theories of aikido wouldn%26#039;t necessarily be followed to the letter in a street fight - but the theory is, if you are good enough, you don%26#039;t have to hurt your opponent to get them to stop. This also extends to non-violent methods of defeating your opponent... you can blend with words as well as you can blend with an attack.|||ju-jitsu was first aikido came from it. the big difference is ju-jitsu covers nearly everything punching,blocking,kicking,grabs,chokes,h... ect. i havnt done aikido but as far as i know its mainly just hand attacks. im sure theirs more than just that but when ive seen ppl do it thats all i see|||At one time, long time ago, they were both one art.

In judo / jujitsu how do you explosively pull someone towards you?

What are the mechanics of grabbing someone%26#039;s gi and pulling him towards you to set them up for a throw. What muscles do you use?





I heard things like use my entire body, but I think it%26#039;s more efficient just to use my arm muscles alone because I want to quickly transition into a throw.|||It%26#039;s got more to do with your hip action and footwork than with your arm muscles. Setting up for a throw is a complicated process that requires constant practice and refinement to master. It%26#039;s not so much about pulling him towards you, as it is about positioning yourself under his center of gravity to be able to get good leverage and using his momentum to throw him off balance. Basically, once you get past a certain point where his balance is broken, gravity takes over, so all you really need to do to throw someone is focus practice on footwork for setting up for throws instead of strengthening your arm muscles. The explosiveness you%26#039;re talking about comes from being able to anticipate where your opponent will be after you set him up and making him resist your attack so you can use the momentum of his resistance against him by reversing the direction of your attack and make him overextend himself and break his balance in one swift motion. Using your arm muscles alone will turn it into a tug of war match which while easy if your opponent is lighter than you, can be difficult when going up against bigger and heavier opponents. Besides, if you%26#039;re gonna rely on arm strength alone, what%26#039;s the point of taking up Judo or Jujitsu? Might as well take up Arm Wrestling.|||Well you use the biceps in the arm and back muscles to pull your opponent into you. but yes, the entire body is used. eg. When pulling you stabilize yourself by using the leg and calve muscles, so as you don%26#039;t pull yourself into your opponent. And your stomach muscles are used to exhale when you pull in.





The key to doing this technique is by doing it when your opponent is momentarily off guard. (the second he has finished a technique, when he is moving backwards etc) it needs practice.





http://markschat.blogspot.com Fighting and Training Methods for Unarmed Martial Artists.|||muay thai plum lets you control the opponats body or you could use a judo %26#039;hijimmy%26#039; i no its basic but it wors the most important thing is to lossen your hips after that you find it easy|||I%26#039;m a white belt BJJ student of 3 weeks so my answer is in no way conclusive, but......control the head and the body must follow, Thai clinch style.|||Clinching up and pushing your opponent, so his first reaction will be to push back, harder. Push even harder, and he will do then same, then suddenly being pulling and he will come at you explosively and off-balance, which is good for setting up a throw. See the URL in the %26quot;sources%26quot; for an example in a grappling match.

How effective is brazilian jujitsu on the street?

No one would get on the floor and start putting the attacker in holds.At the most wouldn%26#039;t it be more effective to just throw the attacker to the floor and leave.|||ANYTHING is %26quot;effective%26quot; against some douchbag in the street who isn%26#039;t versed in any discipline, which would be 99% of the population.


According to official police stats, 82% of street fights end up on the ground.


Take a guy to the ground and he%26#039;s like a fish out of water against a BJJ practitioner, thats the beauty of BJJ, it doesn%26#039;t matter how big or strong your opponent is he%26#039;s in your territory now....





%26quot;No one would get on the floor and start putting the attacker in holds.%26quot;


I beg to differ, I train at a BJJ gym, the best in the UK granted I%26#039;m only a white belt but I know of several doormen who have used BJJ in a confrontation with huge success, it doesn%26#039;t leave marks and is great for restraining rather than seriously injuring someone.





Infact Id even go as far as saying its more %26quot;effective%26quot; in the street than it is in a cage.


all Cage fighters know atleast some defensive BJJ, basic knowledge coupled with superior strength can be challenging for someone with great skills but with weaker conditioning, the average mugger or drunken lout knows none.





No tap, just snap......|||You%26#039;ve pretty much got it. Or at least, they shouldn%26#039;t.





Yes, it can be effective in those situations where it%26#039;s one-on-one. Tying up on the ground is inherently dangerous, and should not be done unless:





1.) You%26#039;re capable of removing the person from the fight (by breaking bones, knocking them out, etc.)





2.) The situation calls for it (i.e. Such force is warranted).





3.) You can return to your feet quickly, or handle a new threat from a grounded or kneeling position.





In this last case, the majority of the BJJ guys who come to our class lose their cool and resort to using excessive amounts of strength and energy in the case of the second attacker, which indicates a lack of training.





There is always the potential for a second or third or tenth opponent. People who are of the mind that just because it%26#039;s rare that they experience multiple opponents they shouldn%26#039;t train for it miss the point of martial arts. It%26#039;s rare in the scheme of things that you need to fight at all, but, like groundhogs dodging shadows, we train for the one time in a million that it may be necessary.





As to it being more effective to just throw the attacker and leave, yes. However, many people tie up their pride in fighting, and think only about dominating the person who made them feel unsafe. Frankly, to be able to respond to a threat in which adrenaline is flowing, you must train, even if it%26#039;s to run. Many people simply freeze and are hurt. Further, they run straight ahead, not putting any impediment between them and their pursuer, so it becomes a contest of endurance and speed. Remaining safe is not a natural skill.|||BJJ is not really a form of defense, it is more of a sport.





But of course you get on the floor and start putting the guy in holds, hopefully choke to end the fight ASAP.





You have to learn how to strike, because you need to know how to defend yourself when you are trying to position yourself. After all they will be trying to punch you.





Like the posters above said, most street fights are over in a minute or less usually because the fighters are gassed out from thowing haymakers and stuff.|||Sorry tantu pupa I have to bust ur big bubble, Brazilian jiujitsu is very effective in a streetfight. BJJ gives you that fighter type cardio. And in my profession I%26#039;ve seen the benefits BJJ can give you. But fighting on the ground does hurt and it will leave you damaged. And from my experience as working in the prison system most fights do go to the ground, unless someone had a knife then they would just run. I%26#039;m a police officer and I currently take Brazilian jiujitsu. Alot of times when I have people resist or fight I apply bjj all of the time. I dont suggest to go for advance moves if you do get in a street fight. but I could go on and on, if you want more info email me if interested. but over all BJJ is very effective in a street fight, knee on chest, rear naked chokes,sidemount control, kimura to handcuffing, especially if the other person has no experience on what the hell your doing to them. But if you have mutiple attackers stay off the ground.|||It depends what you want to do.





Most street fights are over in seconds and are no more than a glorified wrestle.-you both normally end up on the floor.





If you are in close then jujopponent the winner.with very little effort you can easily put your opponent out of the game by dislocating an arm or two.|||It worked for me when this asshole kid tried to Jump me when I was taking the trash out at night. I into mount and Applied a armbar,theres more to the story but,Im too lazy to type it,the thing is,if you Havnt trained in ateast 3 Months of Standup,than it wont be as good. They Balance eachother well. BJJ is street effective yes.|||i don%26#039;t no much on the style or any other style to be honest but ill try help ok so i heard it is best on the ground so i guess you could fake being all scared let them take you down to the ground( by this time they may be thinking aaaa got this in the bag) but when you get to the ground kill them basically sorry if that was no help|||Most martial arts are sports. Street fighting can be for real.





A good, experienced, street fighter will be vicious, determined, real mean and want to HURT you. Against this a sportsman will have little chance.





|||That depends on how good you are at defending yourself. BJJ is good for 1 adversary and not too good at multiple attackers. For multiple attackers you need to look at other style and strategies|||it depends, if its a one on one situation, then its great but if you are in a group, I dont reccommend it!|||Not much. Maybe when your opponent takes you down.

What are the benefits of being flexible in Brazilian Jujitsu?

It will be easier to move around, and scramble to different positions. And for some positions (some consider important) like the Rubber guard it is necessary . ||| Benefits of being FlEXIBLE in Brazilian Jiu jitsu are -





1. Escaping Submissions and Control Positions


2. Manuevering around an opponent


3. Changing Control positions faster


4. Able to execute more complex submissions


5. It makes it harder for your opponet to submit you (sometimes)


6. Able to Reverse a submission on your opponent


7. Able to execute submissions more smoothly


8. Able to cut a better angle when doing a submission


|||It will be easier to move around and slide into certain spots, and also withstand and get out of locks and holds.
