so i was on youtube and found this, system of jiujitsu called Quantum Jujitsu. after reviewing a couple of the videos it seems like its more of a BJJ base, with traditional systems of it thrown in to be more balanced. i wen't on the website and the sensai of it seems very knowledgable about martial arts, and combat all together. heres the link to the video. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjRpTNWv7dY"]YouTube - Quantum Jujitsu Demo with Sensei Jeremy Corbell[/ame] i'll admit he seems a bit flashy on many of the moves, but i don't know if that is due to the fact that it's a demonstration or if it just likes to show off. i was wondering has anyone here ever studied this system or know anything about this system. heres the website. http.//www,quantumjujitsu.com
Yeah I saw that video quite a while ago. Sure, it's a bit flashy, but that is some serious skill the guy is showing us here. Very impressive.
It is very pretty. Wish I could do that and had that kind of skill. I'm going to continue with the excuse that I'm not aerodynamic enough though. I'm curious though why you think it has more of a BJJ base to it?
great video, very flashy and something to aspire to. Seen it before, but it doesn't grow old..... can't really see BJJ there particularly, but the throws are generally interesting and entertaining entries to judo based classics - but they would be considering the origins of judo. Good find and worth sharing.
if im not mistaken, they dont do so well at tournaments and the training looks like what youd find in a typical school
Personally - as impressive as the Quantum stuff is - I would edge toward Dave Camarillo for the "flash with smash" style of Jits [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-lS5Z8a6nQ&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-lS5Z8a6nQ&feature=related[/ame]
It's quite a good book, I got it as a christmas present. I like his idea of the "impact control" position as the transition stage between many throws and submissions. However, oddly, the book also demonstrates basic rolling techniques which seem out of place in a manual which with it's section on flying attacks is clearly aimed at accomplished grapplers .
I got the sense that they are not so much advanced as "if you have the guts" style techniques! But I agree, a very good book
I made this thread a while ago, but i just recently have watched the video of how they test for black belt at that school. to me it seams like a law suit waiting to happen. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu13DrACUhE"]QUANTUM JU JITSU BLACK BELT TEST 1/2 - YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JS-bSJa3es&feature=related"]QUANTUM JU JITSU BLACK BELT TEST 2/2 - YouTube[/ame]
Not quite sure where the law suit would come from. Looks like standard fare. The only thing would be if those metal things were sharp - maybe one of the swords were but I've seen more stupider things done. Not sure about the circus stuff at the start though. Seems like a waste of time really.
i think the katana was sharp. it definitly looked like it was, same for the knife. even without that can still cause serious injuries. I'm not taking away from the skill you obviously have to have, my personal favorite was using his technique against multiplies but some of the QJJ moves seem a little over the top in their approach.
The sword could very well have been an Iaito (blunt alloy blade) it looked a bit cheap and tacky to be honest but then it's hard to tell on a clip like that. I couldn't see the point of it, the cut was pre-empted by a kiai, it didn't have any real oomph behind it, the targeting was odd but probably done to make it easier and the distancing was wonky. Much better just to have smacked him full on with a fukuro Shinai, think shinai a bit like in kendo but with a leather sleeve, at least that way it'd make the exercise have some worth beyond that of an opening ritual.
