bushido_man96 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I clicked on one of the ads on the forums here, and it brought up this site: https://www.miyamaryu.org/index.htmlThey had books on their curriculum, called Combat Jui-Jitsu. I was wondering if anyone had heard of this system, and if anyone could tell me if it is worth looking into. I want to supplement my Hapkido a little bit, since we don't practice it any more. I am tempted to buy the books. Any info would be helpful.Thanks! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseoForce Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I read a "Combat Jiu-jitsu" book. Really not much different than any of the JJJ arts (Jiu-jitsu, hapkido, combat hapkido, etc.) I read the whole book in under an hour and learned nothing that hadn't learned thus far in Combat Hapkido, save for perhaps one or two new applications of a familiar technique. Combat jiujitsu likes to separate itself from BJJ and MMA. Combat Jiu-jitsu isn't really bad, but is essentially JJJ with a new name and slightly different attitude. It isn't anything special. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 I see. I don't have many books on joint manipulation, so I may look into them, if you think it may be worthwhile. Were they easy to follow, with decent photos? https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseoForce Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Yes, but then again, there are many, many, jiu-jitsu titles are your local bookstore. If you happern to live near a Borders AND a Barnes and Noble like I do, so if you can, shop around. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out!

So, most of my studies come via internet purchases. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiffy Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Generally speaking, the term "combat" put before the name of a style means an abbreviated version. The idea behined this is that in combat, we want less choices so that we speed up the thinking process, therefore, the style only looks at what is extremely effective in likely combat scenarios. In the case of Combat Hapkido, all techniques that are in it come from traditional Hapkido, but many from traditional Hapkido have been eliminated in the thought that their effectiveness is limited or the likelyhood in the scenario where they would be applied is slim. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traditional Hapkido would never have you doing triangle chokes or butterfly sweeps from the guard (From BJJ), brush traps (from Wing Chun), stick/knife fighting (Filipino arts)...I could go on. Combat Hapkido is far from be "abreviated" traditional hapkido. Ineffective traditional techniques have been taken out and new techniques are constantly being added. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
