Brazillian/Gracie Jiu-JitsuKevin Walker said:Hi Littledragon,
You made me curious, what style of Jiu-Jitsu do you study that has a picture of Dr. Jigoro Kano in its school?
I have seen Danzan-ryu Jiu-Jitsu practiced, and it is virtually identical to Kano's Jiu-Jitsu (Judo), but they pay no homage to Dr. Kano.
Would appreciate any info you could provide,
Yours - A life long martial arts enthusiast!

No, but thanks for the link.Old Fat Kenpoka said:Cool. Yamasaki has a good reputation. Do you visit their forum at http://www.jiujitsugear.com/forum ?
Thanks! I've trained in Hakko-ryu jiu-jitsu for eight years straight. (And twelve years of Judo, plus a few years of Goju-ryu, Uechi-ryu, and Tae Kwon Do). I practiced a little Kodokwan jiu-jitsu, and I've observed Danzan-ryu jiu-jitsu (which is extremely identical to Judo). I also worked out like a savage with Kendo (which is great stuff).Littledragon said:Brazillian/Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
Hi,arnisador said:I did Uechi-ryu for about a year and a half...I thought it was pretty neat. I went back-and-forth in my opinion of its effectiveness, but more and more I see the potential in it, though I haven't done it for years.
Kevin Walker said:The only BJJ I have seen is on videos and on the boob tube, and I'm sorry to say, it does not impress me! It just reminds me too much of professional wrestling as it was done in the 1960s on the T.V. Gene LeBell was very correct when he asserted that Pro-wrestling was one of the ultimate unarmed defense methods (not the glitzy garbage done on today's WWF T.V. junk). And the pro-wrestlers of the 1960s did it a whole lot better than the BJJ guys I see on the videos and on cable T.V.

Jujitsu-You grab me I grab your wrist and "toss" you.

Hi Marginal,Marginal said:That shootfighting style migrated to Japan where it remains alive and well.
arnisador said:I studied it in Providence, RI. At first I too thought it was pretty ineffective, but more and more I appreciate the head-on approach and circular blocks. With some aliveness I think it has potential. I still don't like the toe kicks.
I don't practice it, but have revised my opinion of it. Still, I understand and respect your opinion.

How is shootfighting related to Mr. Gene LeBell and Professional Wrestling?
