Chadi, I actually just bought this book because of this video and received it yesterday. It’s a very interesting book! I was going to ask, did master Kano not like newaza, or did he simply just prefer throws? I wonder how good his newaza was?
I just got finished reading through a book called, "The Toughest Man Who Ever Lived," which is entirely about the life Mitsuyo Maeda, and it is just astonishing to me how many incredible fighters from Japan came from that era! Small men who routinely ran roughshod through very big and well skilled opponents! Real fighters, and true warriors that did so much to promote the art back then. It is very sad to see that so much of Judo and BJJ today are exclusively sport focused, and have mostly lost the self defense/ real fighting aspect that they were built on! It is even more shameful how so few BJJ practitioners know their history, and the masses try to pretend like jujitsu comes from Brazil!!! It doesn't matter how you spell it jiu jitsu, jujitsu, jujutsu, etc... it comes from JAPAN!!! BJJ practitioners like to tell everyone different either because they don't know... or, are being deceitful that "ground fighting" was invented in Brazil by the Gracie's. I guess they never heard of Ne Waza?! Ground fighting was not invented in Brazil! They can say it all they want, but NOTHING is true about this! Japanese invented the "ground fighting," and the overwhelming vast majority of ALL the submissions accredited to BJJ. As far as I'm concerned BJJ, should stand for "Basically Just Judo." Personally, I love watching film of Japanese Judo/Jujutsu of this era, and the old Masters doing their thing! I often wonder what the curriculum of the art was like back then, and how much it differs from today.
A modern legend who has done an extensive study of him is Yuki Nakai. Though I'm no longer on Facebook, when I was on it, I noticed that Yuki Nakai posted to a Japanese martial arts historian, Yasuyuki Fujikura, that he was making a close study of SK Uyenishi.
I really enjoy your channel & the videos you upload. Very informative. I've been training in martial arts since 1973 when I was a kid. The vast majority of my training has been in stand up arts such as Karate, TKD & various styles of Kung Fu. This past January I decided it was time to empty my cup. Put my black belts aside & become a student again. Once a student, always a student. I'm currently training in Danzen Ryu Jujitsu which has elements of various Japanese Jujitsu systems as well as Judo & I'm really enjoying being a beginner once again.
@anonymous BJJ has it merits but also limitations. I live in Southern California South of LA & to be honest based on my own experiences the kind of people that are likely going to attack you are going to come @ you in numbers so that takes the ground & pound game out of the equation. In my own opinion & my opinion is based on all my martial arts training since 1973 & I've seen it all trust me is on the street the best thing to know how to do is throw someone who's trying to attack you as nine out of ten people do not know how to break fall. Rolling around on a padded surface is one thing as it has give. A person being slammed to the concrete as the result of a good throw is not going to get back up @ least right away which gives the defender a window of opportunity to get out of the area of danger.
Thank you so much for the video and pdf. I love these old master films. They seem to have such pure technique, not any resistance just smooth technique.
He wasn't forgotten... His lineage came here where I am in Guyana....and was taught to a young Lawrence Van Sertima in the 50s...my father and a selected few were taught Jiu-Jitsu along with judo....back in the days by Van Sertima
@@Chadi ....I must thank you as well.....for highlighting this great man....I was given permission by Van Sertima sensei to teach this version of Jiu-Jitsu last year....so along with my BJJ black belt I'm also accredited with this Japanese Jiu-Jitsu
@@Chadi would love if we could chat some more....maybe on another platform or something.....after retiring from international competition in Judo around 2012( my best year being 2007 when I qualified for worlds in Rio).. I just concentrate on teaching/coaching both judo and Jiu-Jitsu at my academy nowadays...its very rare that I find someone with the same love for Judo and Jiu-Jitsu in this day and age...
Love the videos you produce Chadi! Would be great to see you talk about Morihei Ueshiba in pre war Aiki Budo. His Ju Jutsu was pretty astonishing and he influenced many great Judoka at that time. Peace MP
Chadi, Sadakazu Uyenishi is my great grandfather. I have some limited information and a photo of him with his family that I can share with you, if you like.
he had the second best book for a long time, the only one better was tani and miyake's "the game of jiu jitsu". Raku was supposed to write a volume comprised of ne waza only but i've never been able to find a copy. An antiquarian bookseller in london said he's only ever seen one copy of the ne waza book but i have to wonder if he wasn't mixed up and referring to tani/miyake book
@@Chadi i search for historical purposes, and have turned cecil court upside down looking for it, which leads me to believe that it doesn't exist. if i wanted a modern newaza book i'd personally go for okano's vital judo, don't think i've seen oda's though. I'm more interested in the vintage handa/tanabe newaza as demonstrated by raku, tani and miyake however
It seems like the turn of the century was a very vital time for the spread of Jiu jitsu (spell it how you want). Any plans on doing a video about Professor Okazaki of Danzan Ryu?
Many schools of traditional Jujitsu are still extant. Many schools also generally considered sword schools have a Jujitsu component. You can look up “koryu” to start doing research. While some Koryu (old schools) have made it to the west, the vast majority only continue to exist in Japan. Some are fickle with foreigner participation, too. Having said that, some of these schools are in various states of decay or are trying to open up. Research is vital here, especially if you’re planning to go to Japan to train.
I don't know if these old videos are really of Sadakazu Uyenishi, but I see no techniques that are not in Judo. It would be interesting to know what the differences were.
Hada was the man who made leg locks and especially the ashi garami populars. very informative video i don't even know him and I made my homework in ju jutsu/judo/bjj for long time
Judo incorporated many of the techniques that were developed by tanabe and the handa dojo, techniques that were used to defeat the kodokan. One of higher ranked judoka in the west was Ito, who used the stage name of daibutsu, and who's claim to fame was that he once defeated miyake of the handa dojo in high school. These "school boy" duel meets were where a lot of the new newaza was developed. So you may see judo, but you're actually seeing the source of the judo technique
@@debraco7748 Yeah, I know. It's just that, I kinda hoped to see something I hadn't seen before. That's all. All that being said, it was nice, to be able to have a look at such a historical document.
His book is in the description in PDF format. Enjoy!

That’s true. In fact, when Maeda was teaching Judo, it was called “Kano JuJutsu”. Not “Judo” then. That’s where the Gracie’s got “Jiu-Jitsu” from.

That's so cool man, it's gonna get addictive! Keep going

I'll cover him soon
Your channel is a diamond. Really. Amazing work.
Thank you!
Awesome, great video. We have some similar throws and takedowns in Shuai Chiao.
Yes i believe the two have same roots
A great master indeed! Many thanks :)
Nice Chadi,.Man this guy was doing back and from bumbs before it was exposed in pro wrestling,,Amazing video my brother,..
Thank you brother
Awesome! Thank you!
Chadi, Sadakazu Uyenishi is my great grandfather. I have some limited information and a photo of him with his family that I can share with you, if you like.
Omg wow yes please! My instagram is chadi.ae
Mine also Rebecca. Kristy from Australia 🩷…
@@MythOfMe My grandmother's name was Freda Sakuko Uyenishi. What was your grandmother's name as my father has interest in the family tree?
Great narration!
Thank you
Percy longhurst said that he was " ... a pastmaster of the art"
Thank you for the info

An antiquarian bookseller in london said he's only ever seen one copy of the ne waza book but i have to wonder if he wasn't mixed up and referring to tani/miyake book
For ne waza it's best to have awazu's book and Oda's book

Keep up the good work :)
Jiujitsu i luv it osss

It seems like the turn of the century was a very vital time for the spread of Jiu jitsu (spell it how you want). Any plans on doing a video about Professor Okazaki of Danzan Ryu?
Yes I'll add him to my list! The beginning of the 20th is when the Japanese diaspora happened that's why the art spread
@@Chadi feel free to use the "danzan ryu documentary" video on my channel. I have enhanced the video.
Deal and i subscribed
@@Chadi thanks
2:09 where did you get this clip?? Colourised footage of Kano??
Do you think you could make a video on Kenshiro Abbe ?
Will do!
What is the name of the kata that starts a 6:00?
Ju no kata
@@Chadi Thank you!
Cerignola buon pomeriggio
Ciao Roberto
Chadi, is old-style traditional jujitsu still taught?
Yes but you need a reputable school
Many schools of traditional Jujitsu are still extant. Many schools also generally considered sword schools have a Jujitsu component. You can look up “koryu” to start doing research.

I don't know if these old videos are really of Sadakazu Uyenishi, but I see no techniques that are not in Judo. It would be interesting to know what the differences were.
I'll do a video soon explaining the difference between the two, that's sadakazu in the footage, open the pdf in the description to see his book
the masters master
My great grandfather!
He was a great man 🙇🏻♂️
Perhaps why Teddy Roosevelt was hip to Jiu jitsu....hmmmmmmmmm wow then didn't get rolling again till the late 80s early 90s.
Hada was the man who made leg locks and especially the ashi garami populars. very informative video i don't even know him and I made my homework in ju jutsu/judo/bjj for long time
That's why I decided to make this video! He is highly underrated
