shotokanwarrior Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I just watched 2 tapes with Wally Jay on scjj, does anyone here study it? What is your insight, because it looks pretty good for self defense, compact , little energy and power used, has some good distractions and weak points of the body. I would like to check out a school here in Sacramento if anyone knows of one. Where Art ends, nature begins.
pineapple Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I have used finger locks (small circle jujitsu) in real situations. Woked well. What works works
Davison Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I have heard good things about Wally Jay. I have seen a couple of his books that a buddy of mine has and it looked like he had some good tricks in his bag. Why punch someone when their on the ground when you can just kick them
GhostlySykanRyu Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Ordering his book soon... I believe Wally Jay trained under Professor Okazaki, along with my sensei's sensei. To condemn the art of another is to condemn your own as well. We all have the same origin.
Master Jules Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I have trained with Professor Jay at his seminars for the past several years, going back to 1996, and even at his age of 80, he is unbelievable....the system is very very effective. ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy"
STR33T GUY Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 In the ancient Olympics it wasn’t uncommon for both the winner and loser in pancrease(sp?) to have broken fingers at the end of a match. Yes finger/thumb locks are useful but are unlikely to win a fight for you against a determined foe, best not to base your self-defense strategy on them. A minute of experience on the street is worth a year of training in the dojo.If you can’t sprawl and brawl, you can’t street fight.
AngryMatt Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 While I wouldn't base your combat ability on scjj, those finger and small joint locks come in handy in a pinch. "In the void is virtue, and no evil. Wisdom has existence, principle has existence, the Way has existence, spirit is nothingness."-The Book of the Void (A Book of Five Rings)"Men don't start fights, but they do finish them."
Teiydo Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 From the official Small Circle website, there are no schools in Sacramento, there are ones in Oakland, Alameda, and San Mateo. Here's the website http://www.smallcirclejujitsu.com/
