Yes, and it in no way proves your point. That term refers to the right of a Samurai to strike down another person of lower social class then him IF he has been dishonored. That has nothing to do with picking fights to test out your jujutsu or to mug people. Kirisute Gomen was a serious thing. The Samurai's actions had to be proven in court with witnesses in a similar way as we do today. If his actions were not found to be correct he could be beheaded.
No where in that word is there the meaning your looking for or trying to use.
The Shogun had a standing army ofcourse :icon_neut....... Tokugawa Bakufu means MILITARY Governmet..... as well as the fact that the Daiymo had hundreds of Samurai retainers that were part of their private Armys. What about that does not constitute an Army?
There were police that patrolled every area as well as magistrates and judges in every town....
Um... yea.......... what does that have to do with anything? The Meiji was a time of change and Western technology was looked at as the future... while most things related to the Samurai were looked at as holding them back.
BJJ has a bad rep as being thuggish and picking fights in Brazil and that may be true for some of the practicioners........ but that doesnt mean its true for all of them. Misconceptions and bad lables get stuck on alot of things for the actions of a few. Thats what people do. But that book does not state that these Jujutsu guys were testing their techniques out to see if they worked by breaking the law. As a whole. Maybe some of them did individually, but it would have brought shame on there art or school.
BJJ was developed by pressure testing the art against other fighters yes...... but that is not the same thing as actively breaking the law by harming others or trying to mug them....
Carlos and Helio didnt get out on the street and beat the shit out of some poor dude that was weaker then them or who didnt want to fight just to see if their shit worked. They challenged other fighters. That is what Judo did as well. Thats not the same thing your suggesting.
Rod 1 is the type of guy that will say "look at their samuari sprit! Look how they engage in 眞劍勝負!! They are true warriors!" if the Gracies were named "Yamamoto".
I dont get it.
GJJ containts striking, can i punch in competition?
Same principle
I got it.
You are bias towards the Gracies because they are not Japanese.
Edit, do you know the story about the beach fight?
Oh so its just trolling then.
I see Rickson sucker punching a guy while someone is blatantly recording it as if he expected it.
Maybe someone happened to have a camera and somehow got the attention of a fight that was not happening in a multitude with hot girls and beautiful beach, then they were so kind as to forward it to Gracie and co.
It would be credible in the era where every cellphone has a camera and youtube, but back in those days BS, that was premeditated.
Not really.
You can go to a Gracie Academy and ask for VT fight which they will oblige and beat you up.
You cannot go to a Judo club and ask to roll with leg locks.
why is that?
I am not surprised at all.
You just do not know the story of this beach fight.
Do you know at least of was the "opponent"?
What does this has to do with anything?
Stop trolling please.

You mentionned that GJJ has strikes but do not use them in competition.
You suggested that Judo had leg locks but do not use them in competition.
I just pointed the flaw in your statement.
Go to a GJJ academy and they will oblige with strikes included challenge match.
Go a Judo club and ask to roll with leg locks?
Excellent.
So now do you understand the history of the speedo fight?

Im no japanese historian but that's what i read in Kodokan Judo by Jigoro Kano.
An army that did not participate in major wars for over 200 years? There is a reason why there is a difference between old jujutsu and modern jujutsu, old jujutsu involved armor, new jujutsu focused on atemi, throws and locks.
And they were called literally "non-humans", not the kind that would be training along samurai.
Barbaric because its practiotioners were bullying people on the streets.
Again, Jigoro Kano's book, i know its not concrete evidence but i kind of trust him.
Because they had randori.
No, you read exactly what I wrote. What you wrote is not the same thing. Samurai could not legally do violence against lower class without a good reason. Dishonor had to be proven. If it was proven, no problem. If not that Samurai could be put to death and not even granted the honor of suppuku. This was not something to be taken lightly.
That has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. Why do you constantly bring up points that are irrelevant? You said there was no Army or Police.
See how i put the army and police in quotes.
They were not an standarized army or a police as in the executive power. The samurai were no longer fighting wars but pursuing arts and the town guards were the nihin or non-humans.
That is 100% false. The tokugawa, as well as the feudal lords kept both in abundance.
Kept what armor? troops?
:icon_lol: Are you kidding me? The police force were Samurai and certainly official like judges and magistrate were definitely of noble Samurai blood. Samurai were the only ones allowed to carry swords.
What we know as police, were called Nihin or non-humans, they were your everyday patrolman. Their jobs would be simply to report to people, the actual enforcing as in the executive im guessing were armed samurai. But they were not patrolling the streets exposing themselves. So they were not catching thieves or restraining them as in modern police.
You missed my point. Some of them may have been doing that and it gave all Jujutsu Ryu a bad rep, but it would have still brought shame and dishonor to Jujutsu. Not all of them were doing this. Jujutsu was looked at more as a relic because of western technology. Anything non-Japanese was IN and traditional Japanese arts that represented the Samurai or having to do with what they had just CAME OUT OF was looked down upon.
Again, im not arguing Japanese history which i know next to crap about, im simply saying what i heard of jujutsu history which is basically judo books. The view of Kano of old jujutsu may have been skewed and for all it matters he could had been Rorion'in our asses for all i know.
You have to take what he said into context....
What context? he said that to test their abilities they would go to a road and assault unsuspecting people.
More retarded posts from you. It makes no sense to think that traditional Jujutsu schools did not practice randori. You wouldnt even have the first clue about what to do even if you picked a fight with somebody. The moves and feel are not drilled into your memory. It would be pointles to even practice. Its rediculous.
You have to differentiate what "randori" was back then, its different from sparring, the hell Kano himself was thrown to the wolves before learning technique as it was customary by his teacher. What they did however was more of a unpredetermined Kata than actual sparring, the real sparring would have no tap and would be everything goes.
By removing dangerous techniques, and implementing rules to avoid injury then randori reached its current form, and more importantly Shiai. The concept of "i have a sub locked so you tap" was probably as alien to them as doing tsukuri without kake.
Again, their words, if you have historical evidence that it wasnt like that, then it probably wasnt, its not like Kano was Jesus and never BS anyone or anything.
That was a fight between two Martial artist. That was not the gracies beating the shit out of some defenseless person for no good reason. You should educate yourself on the history between those two.
Didnt Helio break the arm of a boxer in a match once? im not saying its a bad thing, the hell that barbaric or thuggish attitude its what brought BJJ where it is, and without the UFC it wouldnt be as famous as it is, as much as people throw crap at Humaita for their marketing and attitude, they ride on what they created.
