Imagine these guys developing it further, and they start putting importance on throws and standing, then training in armor and with battlefield applications again, and they rename their new art Japanese Jujutsu, and it just circles back to where it started again.
They already do, it's called Kosen judo. It's been around for over a century. Where do you think moves like the triangle choke originated? It was created in the 1920s by a duo of Kosen judoka. Look it up. It's just not popular, because outside of the Kosen school system, the majority of graduates revert to the standard Olympic judo rule set. Within the Kosen schools, clubs tend to be very secretive and not allow sessions to be recorded. There's literally only a handful of training footage from classes out there. Look up the "Chadi" and "Komlock Japan" channels. The latter belongs to Koji Komuro, who trained under Kosen master, Kanae Hirata.
Fuck that. That's a stupid thing that westerners came up with, not Asians. They, especially the Japanese are very hygenic people. So wearing a filthy article of clothing, especially for decades is not something they do.
I trained there this morning. I watched this video from home in San Diego. Your description was very accurate and the guys here were very friendly, the vibe was great, I enjoyed my experience here. Thanks for sharing this video. I’m glad I came.
Very true. Too bad, they tend to keep to themselves and although they welcome outsiders to train at their clubs, are very secretive about their training sessions and not allow recodings.
