Fighters with Japanese Jujitsu background?

[Blayt7hh]

Thats not why judo was created i don't think.

It was. It was created because traditional jiujitsu couldn’t/wasn’t practiced live in training. Judo filtered out everything he determined you could practice live and put an emphasis on those techniques and added live sparring as a required element to the training.

Should research better.. there a many many with a high level of Japanese Jiu-Jitsu training. Many of the known Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners and Judokas, have JJJ experience and skill set too. You would be surprised on how many American BJJ practitioners have JJJ experience at a high level.

Im curios to know why there are no fighters with Japanese jujitsu background, I mean I reckon it should have all the elements that judo,bjj and even aikido has since thats where these arts come from which in a way should make it a more well rounded style of grappling that has standup throws and groundwork.

Yet I don't hear any fighters talk about or practice any form of japanese jujitsu.

Herb Dean, as well as a handful of fighters from the American Ju-Jitsu system (not Jake Shields, the way older version) are Black Belts from this system taught by Steve Crawford. I as well.

It was derived from Japanese JJ and not from Brazilian JJ. Although it uses aspects of BJJ, Catch-Wrestling, American Wrestling, Kenpo, and Judo.

UFC guys would be
-Curtis Stout
-Rob Kimmons
-James Krause

thats just to name a few, there are more from this system and a bunch that have fought in Belltator and other big orgs also.

Mike Perry was one third Japanese JJ

Japanese jiujitsu is a joke. Seriously.

Not at alll. Ameircan McDonald-JJ's are of course trash tho but no one takes them seriously and you shouldn't

 

[dalegordon]

Michael bisping has a background in it

I don't want to disrespect JJ.. because the guy who taught me was a really good guy..

But what i learned seemed like Aikido level of realism..
