Fun little bit of history, but women’s Judo (Jiu-Jitsu as it was then) owes a huge debt to Mrs Edith Garud, who learned it from one of Professor Jigoro Kano’s students, who travelled to London from Japan. Mrs Garud taught it to Emily Pankhurst’s ‘Amazons’ - her bodyguard, to defend her and her fellow Suffragettes from police brutality in the struggle for women’s right to vote in the UK.
@@senseisethreacts Yeah, it’s pretty epic. They also used to disguise barbed wire coils in wreaths of flowers, carried Indian clubs and very long, sharp hatpins to better resist arrest :D.
@@senseisethreacts While it is a movie check out the Henry Cavill Sherlock Holmes sister movie, His sister and mum are both practitioners of jiujitsu and the teacher is a black woman suffragette teaching in either Whitechapel or Limehouse good fight work all around.
Can we take a minute to appreciate that not only is this film not bad but is actually better than a lot of the stuff floating around today? I have seen worse women's self defense videos in the last ten years than this. Definitely seems very Defendo-lite. This is great stuff. Great video.
That last demonstration in that last clip, when he went to stand over the opponent, I fully expected him to say "And as always... re-stomp that groin!"
@@itsamejc there's nothing Wittenberg with this, but I've trained with female mma fighters and police combatives instructors who are badass. Saying women's self defense is weak today is silly. Since of it sucks, some of it is incredible.
The knife defense @8:43 is actually extremely common in medieval fencing manuals and continues to show up in multiple manuals for centuries. You do block with the forearm as you describe, but then curl the hand over to maintain control and prevent them from retracting the arm as you snake the other arm around for the figure 4. I've done it in sparring, and it works pretty well.
Reminds me of military sambo - everything with assumptions like an attacker doesn't know how to use a knife, the attacker knows closed guard but doesn't know sweeps, #1 attacker so bad in clich defense #2 is knocked down with back kick using #1 as a strong base 😅 it's cool 😎 as brings some unjustified confidence for a student in 6 months 1-2 academic classes per week
@@Pifagorass yeah, our guys are generally fairly confident right up until we teach them how to actually use a knife. It's at that point we realize that against someone who knows what they're doing you are probably coming to die. 😅
@@andrewdunn8778 . Back in those days old style karate still retained some of its jutsu methods and applications. Few people know that karate had throws, joint locks and strangulations.
As an Aikido/Judo guy, there is an infinite difference between falling on a tatami (thin padded mat) and falling on a hardwood/concrete floor - while you can see the 'attacker' putting his hands out for a breakfall, I'm not convinced some of his groans aren't real. You can do a basic breakfall the same way on all surfaces, but if you are being actively thrown, you need to use different methods and be much more competent at your breakfall to not get hurt. When our club did our big summer training camp, we always included practice in the car park, and we would have to ramp up VERY slowly or everyone would have HORRIBLE roadrash and bruising.
Oh, I can tell some of those hurt like hell. Utilize Energy and the surface. If someone doesn't know how to break his or her fall, then you can possibly kill that person or do significant damage.
once you master perfect timing youll have all the time in the world and perfect tiem to master balance, but if you master perfect balance you can perfectly balance it with your other training. so kinda a catch 22 if you ask me
I thinks it's more of a misunderstanding of terminology, or they just used the word dislocate differently back then. Regardless, joint locks have been around for a LONG time. How long? Can't say for certain, but as long as wrestling has been around in a culture, joint-locks were developed in one form or another.
only now people think "joint locks" are locks, they're designed to dislocate joints. it's not rocket science to understand a higher rotational speed will break the joints
No, she's using it correctly. If you're being actually attacked by someone trying to seriously hurt or abduct you, complete the "lock" instead of stopping like they're going to tap.
The way joint locks work is by putting the joint in a locked-out position, where applying further pressure will dislocate them by popping them out of socket or break them completely if done intensely by breaking the socket. The lock is applying a bar or lever to brace and trap the opponent's arm against. like if you lay your arm flat against a wall or doorway where your wrist and hand poke out past the wall. applying pressure to the wrist while keeping your back flat to the wall would put a ton of pressure on it by using it as a lever or vice grip.
Gotta give props to Zach. Dude is a riot. Hilarious editing. Even the attention to detail to start and stop BBL Drizzy every time Seth starts and stops the self defense video.
At 3:45, that's a great choice. Falling forward, the guy has very little chance to grab on the the lady in passing (as opposed to if he's falling back), he will almost certainly want to use his hands to protect himself (especially if falling onto a street surface with all sorts of horrible stuff on it) and he will be face-down so you can run like hell or stamp hard on the backs of his legs (horrendously painful if the lady is wearing heels).
Dude you should absolutely check out defendu/fairbairn gutter fighting, it's a really interesting style of combatives that was developed by William fairbairn a pretty well accomplished police officer in hong kong I believe for the british military and used by them in world war 2, he practiced judo, japanese jujutsu, boxing and I believe chinese kung fu and created an art for the british military that mixed elements from all of these arts that worked pretty well for these soldiers from what I can tell, it was military combatives so it was meant to help give them some adequate fighting skills in the span of a few weeks
I successfully used the rokkyo arm lock on my schizophrenic neighbor who used to train in Hapkido and decided to wrestle me. It worked as a sub. Now he thinks I'm an angel sent to save him. Seriously, it is applicable under resistance. I also use it when nikkyo fails.
The first video, those are all very common Aikido moves today. Except the kick defense, that one, while it is taught, is relatively rare and the Seionage, that is more of a Judo thing, the Aikido version uses less hip/back and more slipping to the side. The very first move she demonstrated is called Ude kimi nage in Aikido
It's awesome that I just sat down and thought: "I would really want to watch another sensei Seth video" and the first thing I find is a video he just released
There are a judo small joint manipulation where you grab the hand with 2 hands each hand has 2 fingers in it you push said hand back with 2 hands while separating the four fingers.
08:40 We were taught as security guards (some additional training on top of the standard training) to step back/aside and let the knife continue with its momentum (increase momentum with a push), usually it ends up with the attacker stabbing themselves in the leg. Stabbing downwards is the worst attempt of stabbing, you give a lot of visual ques, wind up and have 0 control over the second half of the motion. Same goes for stabbing "hooks" , just let it keep on with a little push, then jam the knife hand and control/break the arm or blitz with an agressive attack forward.
Holy crap... we did that knife defence in kajukenbo. Upward block to figure 4 while walking forward. It works as well as anything would against a knife and it HURTS if someone does it hard
My girlfriend and I have been watching you for ever! (We both do Martial arts) I'm testing for my Master's belt on June 22nd... I live in Indiana, thought we would never get the chance to see you and you go to Indiana SAME DAY!?!?! UGH... (Side note watching you test for yours hit me in the feels) enjoy the seminar
Did you guys know what a group of rag tag suffragets made their own form of self-defense called suffrajitsu. It makes the video even funnier, imagining a bunch of suffragets flipping and sweeping people like the video.
Some of these clearly wouldn't hold up against a larger, resisting opponent, but a lot of it is really good. The only one of these I've used IRL (as a kid) was the throw when being choked from behind (2:24) . It worked and earned me some playground respect, but now that I'm older and wiser I've learned better alternatives. The danger is if the person you're throwing doesn't let go.
that first woman was actually a crazy good martial artist. like I feel pretty confident she is cia or something because her execution of the moves is phenomenal. That Wrrrrrist lock was clean. Also Seth, i hate to say it but we've mostly become watered down in martial arts, your best shot is now.
10:20 I don't remember the name of that throw but that is dayto ryu. In judo was modified with elbow looking down for safety reasons. In some modern demos of dayto ryu it still can be seen some of those gnarly techniques
Look up a book by Allan Corstorphin Smith from 1925 called “Secrets of Jiujitsu.” It’s a fascinating time capsule. It’s the techniques he taught American soldiers during WW1.
A lot of this stuff looks like actual Judo techniques. The circle throw for an upper body push and shoulder throw for rear naked choke are both legit Judo techniques. Kind of impressed.
Hey sensei 🙏nice video as always. How about a analysis of Maul Mornie's stuff in the future? He was on Jesse Enkamps channel and it looked quite effective. All the best from Germany 👍
That "armbar-throw-thingi" is at times called "Gyaku nage", but I am sure it has as many names as there were koryu (old schools) using it. And the break on the elbow is nasty so most people jump with the throw a bit to spare their elbow joint, very little strength needed to achive that effect.
The wrist turning move to elbow pivot I'd called rokkyo in aikido. It's the most practical move in aikido. It's also not commonly used in aikido because it's dangerous, its not in the spirit of aikido. It's more of an archaic move from aiki jujutsu which is more brutal than aikido.
i mean modern aikido. real aikido is brutal. just not the stuff they show you on RU-vid or in most schools now. more military elite stuff. like you said aiki jujutsu. but its in a lot of jujutsu and i believe judo as well since it was developed from Japanese jujutsu. simple roll into an armbar, like you said very practical and simple. Also is found in many Chinese traditional martial arts and kung fu/wushu forms as well. Good shout!
I learned it in Aikido and we practice it regularly. I have even used it when I worked security at a hospital. It works very well as long as you drop to your knees or all the way to the ground.
I recognized a lot, especially the ones using wrist locks... I wouldn't say they don't work, if you get a proper wrist lock, most people can't get out, size advantage or not. Tho from my experience, it's just getting to that locked position which is really hard... at a certain point, the other person's wrist is literally bigger than your entire palm... you aren't locking that with just one hand lmao
Sensei Seth, my fiance loves ur content. He saw the part about the pressure point behind the jaw nd scoffed, following with an f that. Apparently it's used in promising to detain nd ground other prisoners that r in a fight. He said, won't kill u but definitely sucks especially when it comes from nowhere
Pain compliance techniques usually don't work, and much less on their own alone. You need another technique on top of it, and the physical fitness development to successfully apply them.
It all came from the old books gathered from Bartitsu. A 19th century self-defense English school that had incorporated all forms of martial arts from the orient and europe.
that first lady was a top tier judoka/traditional jujitsu. See your judo pals to learn those techniques well seth. Interestingly some are now banned in sport versions of judo because of danger ;) eg arm rotation to bar before throw.
