SevenStar Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 There are thousands of sites/articles about kano, but here are a few you can start with: http://www.judoinfo.com/kano4.htm http://www.judoinfo.com/kano5.htm http://www.judoinfo.com/kano7.htm
47MartialMan Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Yeah, but out of those 700, which were hybrids or branches?
SevenStar Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 naturally, most of them would have been. still, there is no way that the guy combined 700 styles into one...
47MartialMan Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Yeah, but do all 700 count? Or can it (they) be condensed?
dear john Posted September 17, 2004 Author Posted September 17, 2004 (edited) obviously he did not take 700 different kinds of jujutsu. from what i heard is was about 20. but if you think about it headlocks armlocks wrist locks leg locks throws take downs ground techniques a few strikes how many styles would you really need im pretty sure out of the 700 different styles of jujutsu many taught the same thing. and he probly only took specific styles that focused on certain areas that he felt he wanted to know. thanks for the site info Edited September 17, 2004 by dear john the funny thing is that i know im wrong and i know your right, yet you keep argueing like it will change my mind. you should really know, you dont have to be right to win:)
47MartialMan Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Hmmmn out of 700, can any have something different?
dear john Posted September 17, 2004 Author Posted September 17, 2004 well im sure that since he did not take all 700 then he probly missed out on some moves but he took enough to make a system that was better than most. what differences were you thinking about the funny thing is that i know im wrong and i know your right, yet you keep argueing like it will change my mind. you should really know, you dont have to be right to win:)
47MartialMan Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Where did the figure become 700? Such a round and even number.
Shorin Ryuu Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 about 100 years ago in japan there was several different MA's that taught jujitsu. one would be all arm locks the others would be for legs locks another for headlocks and another for throws. i am not for sure what the other ones were. this guy Seishiro Okazaki took them all and put them into one system. he went to hawaii and meet up with some guy who was a master in Okinawan karate and they compined the two. i forget most of the story, but you can read all in https://www.bushidokan.us At one point in history there were over 700 styles of jujutsu... This guy is claiming he combined ALL of them?? Actually, if I recall my history correctly, the Dai Nippon Butokukai was established around the beginning of the Meiji era and with the help of giants like Jigoro Kano, helped to pretty much unify the styles of jujitsu and kenjutsu into one entity (under their respective names, judo and kendo).
