Hello from Faulks Jiu Jitsu up here in British Columbia! Japanese Jiu Jitsu our thing, too, and we do our best to keep it real. I can relate to your journey, my friend, and I appreciate your videos and recommend then to my students. Thanks for the coaching, and I wish you well, Matt!
Hey Faulks!!! Thanks for the comment and appreciate you watching!!! You know how powerful JJJ is and happy to hear you’re “keeping it real”. If there’s any way I can help or you just want to shoot the shit about JJJ, let me know!
Nice experience! Mixing them all together is "real martial arts" for me. It's just what works and makes sense for our own unique bodies, mind and instincts.
I don't understand why they call BJJ Jiu Jitsu in the first place. BJJ simply focuses on Judo ground grappling techniques and has literally nothing to do with Jiu Jitsu. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is just Judo with better branding and a way too complicated belt ranking system.
This ws pretty cool matt and thank you for sharing, for me it was my friends in school that got me into jujutsu, got hooked very quickly and haven't looked back, I've been lucky to train with good people who had backgrounds in Brazilian jiujitsu and okinawan karate, still love learning new approaches to training and people sharing their knowledge
Just came across your channel today. Your message was very encouraging. I started BJJ a little over a month ago,and Im 61 years old. It gets to be pretty intimidating as the new, old person in class but Im enjoying it. I know my progress is going to be slow, but hopefully, I have the rest of my life to get better. 😁👍
Welcome!!! I love to hear that you're starting so young :) I'm sure it is a little weird at first. But trust me, 99% of all Jiu-Jitsu guys are going to treat you well and with respect. If not, show them that 'old man strength' lol
My pleasure, my passion is helping and inspiring people through martial arts. And if you ever want to jump on a call to see if I can help, send me an email at mbryers@tritacmartialarts.com.
YES!!!!! That's where I trained! That f_cking shed was torture, but also a very special and awesome way to train. The blog was run by one of our black belts Trey, who after some injuries and a passion for CrossFit, he stopped training. But it was a great blog!
I have a 2nd Dan in BJJA British Ju-Jujitsu Association. I did BJJ first and went to BJJA after and trained for 13 years. I’m now white belt two stripes and I can’t wait for blue when ever that be because it means I can do wrist locks, Calve slices etc Loads of great stuff from JJJ
Combining Japanese Jujutsu with BJJ gives you everything. Most JJJ systems have joint locking, wrestling, throws, strikes, and weapons. BJJ gives you consistent rolling to keep it real, and the best ground fighting ++. I've very happy with this combination.
Yes the weapons, Tonfa, Bo practical weapons , real Karate will have JJJ integrated (my Karate system had joint locks, wrist locks and chokes) as well as 1st Bo Kata and techniques for 2nd KYU as an example, as well as full contact kickboxing training once 3rd KYU was reached all practical self defense
I also did Japanese Jujitsu over Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I did Budoshin Jujitsu when I was 13 and loved training in it. I'm planning on doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at the beginning of next year, I love training and learning new things not sure if I'll compete when learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu though.
Awesome to hear that you've done some JJJ! BJJ is just another piece of the puzzle of Jiu-Jitsu - and remember 90% of people never compete. You don't HAVE to compete to prove your skill in martial arts. But competition is a great way to challenge yourself and fast-track your progress.
This video has come at a very coincidental time for me, I've recently decided that I want to prioritise my JJJ over my BJJ. My personal reason is, that with the caricaturing of technique that comes with the sportification of martial arts (think the boot scooting, little to no takedowns, lack of striking awareness, no breakfalling etc), I'd like a jujitsu base that isn't restricted and can have all the good stuff from BJJ plugged into it, without any of the limitations, without the silly belt system that's based almost solely on politics and tenure. Thanks for the video.
Man I need martial arts , I keep going to prison for fighting I can't keep doing this I had yet another incident, I didn't get pinched however I got lectured by my wife and bandmate 2 people that how they look at me matter to me and it hurt my soul listening to the truth i was hurt and a crying mess, I've trained off and most of my life ,I know martial arts can help me and I'll be Def training soon sorry for rant ,I could just really identify with you man ,I just haven't grown up yet and I'm gonna end up dead is what my family and close brothers are afraid of, my 8 year son told me I had nothing to prove 😢 I feel like I'll never throw a punch at anyone again ,train safe man thank you
Man I am so sorry to hear you're dealing with a lot of shit. Lets be honest, you probably have a lot of anger, stress and energy with no where to put it. That's why you fight and make bad decisions. You're overflowing with "bad shit". It's your RESPONSIBILITY to be better for yourself and family. If I were you, I would start INVESTING in yourself and join a MMA, Muay Thai, Boxing, BJJ, etc. gym. You need this man, and stop making excuses of why you can't go. You need to get that energy out and focused.
@tritacacademy thank you my friend been following along time man I never posted anything of me fighting my demons , I'm clean and sober as well. I just have run out of excuses for not being responsible for that itch you have inspired me to go there ,I have a muay Thai gym close I'm going there ,I have already made crazy changes for the better , like Gotham said just stay outta of trouble and go , thank you man
US! I'm under 2 hours away lol, but I guarantee you there are some JJJ schools in NY. Start with: www.daito-ryu.com/daitokai-directory.html www.danzan.com/HTML/dojos.html
I have always liked the JJJ side of the fence, but there are no JJJ dojos in my area. I've been training in BJJ for four years, and I like to drop into JJJ dojos when I'm on vacation. OSS!! 😊🎉
If you get the chance, do so! But it's going to be very different than a BJJ school. Especially since my JJJ schools have deep traditions and heavy on martial arts ethos. If you train at a sport focused school, it might be a bit of a shock!
Thank you I just find you....ok my journey start at 7 year old a Japanese student of Vanderbilt University in Nashville Tennessee ...my home I started in Japanese wado ryu karate and shindo yoshin ryu jujitsu for 4 year then he had to go back to Japan..so I then start in America kenpo the parker system they was bodyguards for elvis Presley and was trained by mr parker ....I was so honor getting meet him well after 4 year they closed down the dojo ..my old brother was a ranger in Vietnam he introduced me to a gentleman that was a captain in the 5 th special forces group at fort Campbell. He introduced me to daito ryu aiki jujitsu 14century samurai art ..also Okinawan shorin.ryu karate I now have 16 year in both art I grew up my dream came true I was honor with being accepted at the Naval Academy well their I get into to Japanese combat ju jitsu...kodokan judo .Filipino Pekiti tirsa kali and the navy v5 wrestling program and navy v 4 boxing program. So year later I have kito ryu jujitsu rank yoshin ryu Aikido Japanese combat shotokan karate ..and American combat karate...I have 6 rotation in Afghanistan 4 rotation in Iraq 2 rotation in Yemen 2 rotation in Syria 2 rotation in Libya and the Filipino insurgents operation against aby.saffif..I need this to stay alive
Love that he doesn't care if people take some of his lessons and add them to their own class. I get if they take a lot of his training, but I just assume people are working off their preexisting training.
Thanks for that! My mission to help people through martial arts, and if some of my ideas/concepts are being used by others - I'm achieving my goal (I just don't know about it lol)
I started JJJ and Judo in 1997, for self defence reasons. I saw the UFC and thought Gracie was just using Judo. Later I tried Wrestling (not a big thing here in the UK). BJJ when it became way more popular. I did two years of it, I found it utterly lacking and pointless for my needs.
Sounds like we have a similar background, but we love wrestling in the US, and it's a big part of the TRITAC curriculum. There are some good self-defense focused BJJ schools that still have much of the combative side of JJJ included - but again, those are rare.
@@tritacacademy yeah, the demographic of martial arts in europe is really diverse and different from state to state. You probably know that kickboxing is huge in the netherlands. Compared to that, sports judo is still super huge in germany. BJJ made some ground (pun intended) over the last years.
@@tritacacademy had to give the judo up. too many injuries and the clubs been flooded with teenagers. no veterans training now. Still doing kickboxing and aikido (yes I know it's not self defence worthy).
"I've seen Japanese Jujutsu taught the wrong way." I'm no expert, but I believe that this right here is the reason why JJJ has gotten such a bad rep in the west. Many instructors either do not know the authentic material subject intimately or have mastered a diluted form of the art. To me, Japanese Jujutsu starts and ends with weapons disarm. That was the whole purpose of practicing it in medieval Japan in the first place, to defend against an armed opponent when you lose your weapon in the heat of battle. Sure you can also use it against an unarmed opponent, but mostly only if he is unskilled in unarmed combat. But the emphasis back then was always weapons control and disarm. It's when the later generation of instructors started to move away from weapons work and focus on self defense against an unarmed opponent while transitioning into a sport that the practice of traditional JJJ became disfunctional. And it is here that you end up in situations where a weapon based self defense art is being used against a skilled unarmed opponent and it's no surprise that the unarmed opponent wins the majority of the exchange. It's like using a pair of pliers to hammer a nail. You might be able to do it on small one inch nails, but not on the big five inch ones. You'll need a different tool for that. Which is not to say traditional JJJ is no longer useful, because it still is, but it is more suited for use against an armed melee attack out in the street than in a sports ring or cage against a skilled unarmed combat fighter.
I see what you are saying, but I have personally experienced a vast-depth of concepts in the JJJ curriculums. They are not as refined as others like BJJ, due to the constant pressure testing in sport. But like we did in Kobukai, we pressure tested our JJJ in sparring, BJJ comp and MMA comp. Of course we combined other elements, but that's what made us successful - our teacher was very progressive and understood that training JJJ is more than just a history lesson.
As always it truly depends on the previous training, but yes BJJ because most of it is focused on sport, ground fighting - I agree BJJ would win in a sport based engagement. But when you come both with wrestling (TRITAC-Jitsu), grandpa is fucking everyone up.
You would think that was true (all BJJ trains wrestling), but unfortunately it’s not. The best COMPETITION teams and progressive systems like TRITAC do, but most still do not.
There's no such thing as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, all of it comes from Judo newaza, shimewaza etc. Every single move comes from Judo, which is the largest surviving style of Jiu Jitsu in Japan. Maeda was a direct student of Kano and taught the Gracies. Maeda was a Catch wrestler too so some of that is sprinkled in but it's all Judo. The Gracies tried to steal a martial art and sold it to gullible Americans who didn't know the history.
Go tell it to Gordon Ryan, man. Like this wanting to sht on BJJ thing is silly considering how many of the best submission grapplers and MMA fighters out there either come from or have extensive cross training in BJJ. Youre trying to make yourself feel superior by insulting people who are many many times better than you lol Its just dumb, bro.
Bjj started as judo newaza but brazillians(the gracies) greatly expanded on it so much it became its own thing. It's going through another evolution right now with the mixing of bjj and wrestling.
@@MP-db9sw Not shitting on anything, it's facts. BJJ has shit on Judo for years and essentially tried to steal a martial art by fooling rubes. I didn't insult anyone and you have no idea how good I am or anything at all. You sound like an insecure little kid when someone insulted their daddy. All those grapplers you're white knighting for wouldn't be shit without the moves they got from Judo. You can call it BJJ but that doesn't change the facts at all, research the history dude a good book to start with is Choque. Every technique and submission comes from the Japanese, show some fucking respect.
@@bujindork They didn't expand anything, they just stole a few Catch techniques and focused on the guard. Nothing new at all, every single thing you learn in a BJJ school comes from Judo. Some Judo clubs may not focus on newaza but all the techniques are there. Check out Kosen Judo. Maeda was also a Catch wrestler in addition to being a Judoka,Judo has always had wrestling in it. Not sure why the Gracies would omit throws and tachiwaza and make the art less effective....seems counterproductive. Check out the book Choque.

It's jujutsu not jiujitsu far as the real original jujutsu
Guys, your jiujitsu is whatever you want to make it all these labels are just sales pitches and they're stupid. What's Japanese Jiu-Jitsu you go to Japan? Some of the best so-called BJJ guys are right there.. people just do what they like. In terms of real life efficacy, I would challenge anyone anywhere to show me he better grappling school than what you see happening right now in the North American no gi scene laid out by guys like the Danaher crew which are renzo Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu representatives or the team over at Atos which are so-called Brazilian practitioners. you're not going to find any Japanese so-called Japanese Jiu-Jitsu people dominating them because it's open competition and anybody wants to show up and put their game on the mat and show what they can do. But we see who's doing it. Wrestlers Elite judo guys and so-called modern grapplest from BJJ.. but I told you get what you mean. I completely 100% get what you mean. A lot of these guys have just turned it into a circus and it sells you know. So it's a cycle of life in martial arts unfortunately. But all in all don't fall for the labels get in where you fit in. Build a complete skill set. Enjoy your training!
I don't think he's talking about any of that in the video or teaching any of that in his videos from what I seen on the channel. But you are right. I know many styles. Do you practice that stuff? Bjj does as well though if you want to look at the graces not particularly well but it is what it is. As I said, do what you like . At the end of the day when it comes to combat skill, one fact that is 100% indisputable as the labels won't fight for you
Agreed, and if you listened to the video, I brought up modern BJJ and how it's a synergy of BJJ, Judo and Wrestling - which is essentially heavily modernized "Jiu-Jitsu" that just works. Most people who train BJJ are ground fighters, most wrestlers and Jukoda are stand-up fighters. The funny thing is, if you look at many JJJ charts, the core concepts are all there. But in my experience to truly refine those concepts and make them into useable skills - you need fight sport. That's why I love MMA and sport grappling. It's the best representation of "what works". It's a live study of combat, and it absolutely should be used to develop real fight skills. You don't need to compete, but your training should feel like you are getting ready to fight.
You know the craziest thing is this when you go to Brazil, you quickly realize that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not a thing there. Nearly as big as we believe it is here. Jiu-Jitsu itself. The martial art is big and there's many Brazilians doing Jiu-Jitsu along the same lines of what you would call Japanese Jiu-Jitsu with a bit more grappling or niwaza not the BJJ that the graces made popular. That is now getting more popular but even in large part most people in Brazil are not doing that. You'll go over there and see the guys in the camouflage gi with the 17th degree black belt I was totally shocked. I had no idea. I thought everyone in Brazil knew the deal. BJJ was the way. No Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was a style their family had that came to the West as most things do as a result of it being profitable for them to teach it but make no mistake. Most people there doing Jiu-Jitsu are much closer to small circle or what people would call Japanese Jiu-Jitsu then what we know as BJJ.. that being said, I go back to my original statement. Just do whatever you like. No styles going to fight for you
Matt..your hair is turning white...time on this earth is coming to.an end...you have achieved many things in life..and had felt many rises and falls...now life is almost coming to an end....now let us worship the Lord of the Heavens and Earth....ALLAH I invite you to Islam with all my heart ❤
Wow man that’s harsh!!! I’m 47!! I may not know when God / Allah / etc will call me back, but just because my beard turned white doesn’t mean I’m old yet!!! lol I appreciate your concern!
LOL are you saying I made a bad choice choosing Japanese Jujitsu? Obviously you didn't listen to the whole thing. TLDR; I train both, ranked in both and teach both.

I chose BOTH.
I did the same WITH wrestling....which is exactly what we teach.
Thought this was Josh Barnett until 3/4 way through the video
I wondered that at first. 😄
This happens on almost a weekly basis lol
Black belt in Karate and JJJ, went on to get a Brown belt in BJJ years later . Found Kali and JkD , now mix them all together . Works . Respect Matt

So true. Just because bjj demonstrated the effectiveness of the JAPANESE Art most people disregard its origin.
YUP! Most don't realize the origin.
all depends on schools hard to beat a good BJJ with a versatile coach and pair it with KB / MT
Agreed, the keyword is versatile, which is the point I made in the video. Do BOTH and add wrestling.
Of course everybody knows american jiujitsu is best 😎

It's like using a pair of pliers to hammer a nail. You might be able to do it on small one inch nails, but not on the big five inch ones. You'll need a different tool for that. Which is not to say traditional JJJ is no longer useful, because it still is, but it is more suited for use against an armed melee attack out in the street than in a sports ring or cage against a skilled unarmed combat fighter.
I see what you are saying, but I have personally experienced a vast-depth of concepts in the JJJ curriculums. They are not as refined as others like BJJ, due to the constant pressure testing in sport. But like we did in Kobukai, we pressure tested our JJJ in sparring, BJJ comp and MMA comp. Of course we combined other elements, but that's what made us successful - our teacher was very progressive and understood that training JJJ is more than just a history lesson.
👍
Whenever a japanese jj guy walk into a bjj gym they always get destroyed. You're in a bullshido mc dojo grandpa.
As always it truly depends on the previous training, but yes BJJ because most of it is focused on sport, ground fighting - I agree BJJ would win in a sport based engagement. But when you come both with wrestling (TRITAC-Jitsu), grandpa is fucking everyone up.
@tritacacademy Almost all BJJ guys train wrestling these days. The ones who don't are fucking morons.
You would think that was true (all BJJ trains wrestling), but unfortunately it’s not. The best COMPETITION teams and progressive systems like TRITAC do, but most still do not.
There's no such thing as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, all of it comes from Judo newaza, shimewaza etc. Every single move comes from Judo, which is the largest surviving style of Jiu Jitsu in Japan. Maeda was a direct student of Kano and taught the Gracies. Maeda was a Catch wrestler too so some of that is sprinkled in but it's all Judo. The Gracies tried to steal a martial art and sold it to gullible Americans who didn't know the history.
YUP! And Judo is all Japanese Jujitsu :)
Go tell it to Gordon Ryan, man. Like this wanting to sht on BJJ thing is silly considering how many of the best submission grapplers and MMA fighters out there either come from or have extensive cross training in BJJ. Youre trying to make yourself feel superior by insulting people who are many many times better than you lol Its just dumb, bro.
Bjj started as judo newaza but brazillians(the gracies) greatly expanded on it so much it became its own thing. It's going through another evolution right now with the mixing of bjj and wrestling.
@@MP-db9sw Not shitting on anything, it's facts. BJJ has shit on Judo for years and essentially tried to steal a martial art by fooling rubes. I didn't insult anyone and you have no idea how good I am or anything at all. You sound like an insecure little kid when someone insulted their daddy. All those grapplers you're white knighting for wouldn't be shit without the moves they got from Judo. You can call it BJJ but that doesn't change the facts at all, research the history dude a good book to start with is Choque. Every technique and submission comes from the Japanese, show some fucking respect.
@@bujindork They didn't expand anything, they just stole a few Catch techniques and focused on the guard. Nothing new at all, every single thing you learn in a BJJ school comes from Judo. Some Judo clubs may not focus on newaza but all the techniques are there. Check out Kosen Judo. Maeda was also a Catch wrestler in addition to being a Judoka,Judo has always had wrestling in it. Not sure why the Gracies would omit throws and tachiwaza and make the art less effective....seems counterproductive. Check out the book Choque.
It's jujutsu not jiujitsu far as the real original jujutsu
Guys, your jiujitsu is whatever you want to make it all these labels are just sales pitches and they're stupid. What's Japanese Jiu-Jitsu you go to Japan? Some of the best so-called BJJ guys are right there.. people just do what they like. In terms of real life efficacy, I would challenge anyone anywhere to show me he better grappling school than what you see happening right now in the North American no gi scene laid out by guys like the Danaher crew which are renzo Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu representatives or the team over at Atos which are so-called Brazilian practitioners. you're not going to find any Japanese so-called Japanese Jiu-Jitsu people dominating them because it's open competition and anybody wants to show up and put their game on the mat and show what they can do. But we see who's doing it. Wrestlers Elite judo guys and so-called modern grapplest from BJJ.. but I told you get what you mean. I completely 100% get what you mean. A lot of these guys have just turned it into a circus and it sells you know. So it's a cycle of life in martial arts unfortunately. But all in all don't fall for the labels get in where you fit in. Build a complete skill set. Enjoy your training!
Japanese Jujitsu- striking, grappling, knife, knife defence, sword, stave, lots of finger and wrist locks. It’s military combat. BJJ, Judo etc = wrestling. That’s the difference.
I don't think he's talking about any of that in the video or teaching any of that in his videos from what I seen on the channel. But you are right. I know many styles. Do you practice that stuff? Bjj does as well though if you want to look at the graces not particularly well but it is what it is. As I said, do what you like . At the end of the day when it comes to combat skill, one fact that is 100% indisputable as the labels won't fight for you
Agreed, and if you listened to the video, I brought up modern BJJ and how it's a synergy of BJJ, Judo and Wrestling - which is essentially heavily modernized "Jiu-Jitsu" that just works. Most people who train BJJ are ground fighters, most wrestlers and Jukoda are stand-up fighters. The funny thing is, if you look at many JJJ charts, the core concepts are all there. But in my experience to truly refine those concepts and make them into useable skills - you need fight sport. That's why I love MMA and sport grappling. It's the best representation of "what works". It's a live study of combat, and it absolutely should be used to develop real fight skills. You don't need to compete, but your training should feel like you are getting ready to fight.
You know the craziest thing is this when you go to Brazil, you quickly realize that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not a thing there. Nearly as big as we believe it is here. Jiu-Jitsu itself. The martial art is big and there's many Brazilians doing Jiu-Jitsu along the same lines of what you would call Japanese Jiu-Jitsu with a bit more grappling or niwaza not the BJJ that the graces made popular. That is now getting more popular but even in large part most people in Brazil are not doing that. You'll go over there and see the guys in the camouflage gi with the 17th degree black belt I was totally shocked. I had no idea. I thought everyone in Brazil knew the deal. BJJ was the way. No Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was a style their family had that came to the West as most things do as a result of it being profitable for them to teach it but make no mistake. Most people there doing Jiu-Jitsu are much closer to small circle or what people would call Japanese Jiu-Jitsu then what we know as BJJ.. that being said, I go back to my original statement. Just do whatever you like. No styles going to fight for you
you need to deal with labels since trainer and gyms use labels. nothing wrong with using names to state different things.
Matt..your hair is turning white...time on this earth is coming to.an end...you have achieved many things in life..and had felt many rises and falls...now life is almost coming to an end....now let us worship the Lord of the Heavens and Earth....ALLAH
I invite you to Islam with all my heart ❤
Wow man that’s harsh!!! I’m 47!! I may not know when God / Allah / etc will call me back, but just because my beard turned white doesn’t mean I’m old yet!!! lol
I appreciate your concern!
It’s because you make bad choices.
LOL are you saying I made a bad choice choosing Japanese Jujitsu? Obviously you didn't listen to the whole thing.
TLDR; I train both, ranked in both and teach both.
