Will Brazilian Jiujitsu eventually replace Japanese Jujitsu?

all corners are zero point size

you spent several posts telling me what the uk opinion of MMA was, so clearly you do

 

I have to ask, what is the self defense/fighting benefit of learning a martial art like this;



I can understand the cultural and educational benefits. However, what are the self defense/fighting benefits?

 

how have you decided its a martial art ?

 

It is a style of Japanese Jujutsu;

Tenjin Shin'yō-ryū - Wikipedia

 

that not what i asked, i asked how have you come to the conclusion thats what is shown is a martial art ?
its fairly simple question

 

Not really. Are you asking what we’re seeing in the video is the martial art, or just some sort of presentation?

The video is showing demonstrations and kata. Both fairly common in Japanese MA.

 

you said it was a ma shown, im asking how you know that

i really shouldnt have to ask the same simple question three times

 

Uh Tenshin Shinyo Ryu is a martial art and it is being shown in that video. You having trouble reading the title of the video?

 

the wiki page you linked doesnt say its a ma, so how do you know it is?

 

You obviously didn’t read the page very well. It says it is an ancestor art to both Judo and Aikido. Also you can follow the “jujutsu” link in the wiki article to read what exactly what Jujutsu is.

 

ive read what you posted as an authoritative article and it doesnt mention the term ma at all.

so how do you know its a ma,

 

I find it incredible that a person from the U.K. has trouble reading English, and doesn’t understand how encyclopedias work.

 

dont deflect

you said it was a ma, and it seems you now dont know why you think it a ma.

i mean it doesnt even look like a ma, so ive no idea how you formed that opinion

 

In the wiki article, this is the first sentence;

Tenjin Shinyo-ryu (天神真楊流, Tenjin Shin'yō-ryū), meaning "Divine True Willow School", can be classified as a traditional school (koryū) of jujutsu.

Jujutsu should be highlighted, that means you can click it to go to another article. This is called a hyperlink. When you go to the article on Jujutsu it says this in the first sentence;


Jujutsu (English: /dʒuːˈdʒʊtsuː/ joo-JOOT-soo; Japanese: 柔術 jūjutsu listen (help·info), is a family of Japanese martial arts and a system of close combat (unarmed or with a minor weapon) that can be used in a defensive or offensive manner to kill or subdue one or more weaponless or armed and armored opponents.

If you still don’t get it after this explanation, I can’t help you. I would just recommend to stop taking blows to your head during Karate class.

 

now youve posted two things that disagree with each other

how do you know which to believe ?

 

This seems more like a potential of fighting ability from someone who already knows how to fight from an outside source. What about someone whose only exposure to martial arts is something like this (a kata-based MA system)? Could they be a competent fighter or defend themselves in a competent manner?

 

Tenjin Shinyo ryu includes randori in their training, AFAIK. They also practice Kodokan Judo alongside their Jujutsu. The late shihan of the school Kubota sensei was also 8th dan Judo, and regularly taught seminars at the Kodokan.123
