Kyle-san Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 I noticed the other day that there's a Ketto Ryu club on campus and was wondering if anyone had information it that style of Jujutsu. I'm going to check it out tomorrow, but was curious anyway.
Karateka_latino Posted November 25, 2002 Posted November 25, 2002 Never heard of that style.. Well, i think there are around 200 traditional jujitsu styles and i have only heard about a handfull of them. Go and check and post your experience,
ZeRo Posted November 25, 2002 Posted November 25, 2002 yeah thats a good idea Sub. post your experience.
Kyle-san Posted November 26, 2002 Author Posted November 26, 2002 Well, I checked it out today and was pretty impressed. The class was very relaxed (enjoying themselves, but not messing around too much) and the instructor was easy to get along with. It was difficult to distinguish rank seeing as the levels were all mixed together, there weren't many students there and noone was wearing a blet. Good sign. He had them break into groups of two or three and work out a combination that involved a few strikes, a takedown and some ground work. It was interesting to see what the groups came up with based on their rank in the club and other experience (two white belts came up with the best one). There was some breakfall practice, a short break, then the moved into their belt ranks to work on rank-specific techniques. This included strikes, grabs, locks, takedowns and weapons defence. Everything was quick, practical and pretty deadly. To end things off they did a game called "Circle of Death" in which one student was in the middle and everyone attacked one at a time. In the case of the higher belts once one person began their attack, the next could jump in. Weapons could be used if they wanted or whatever they felt would be the best. Everything from traditonal karate techniques to using a knife or pipe to two knives/a knife and a pipe/two pipes were used. The sensei even got into things to make it more challanging. Overall I got a very good impression from the club, they're making sure everyone keeps up, are learning something pretty nasty and enjoy themselves. I think I'll join in next class.
Karateka_latino Posted November 26, 2002 Posted November 26, 2002 Looks good to me, Go there and jump into the "Circle of Death" and if you manage to stay alive after that, come and post your experience. lol
Karateka_latino Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 I want to enter inside the "Circle of Death" I know i can be the Last man Standing Just Bring it!!!!
rabid hamster Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 it sounds good to me. i wish i had a place like that where i live. It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye.
Kensai Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 "Circle of Death", I really like the sound of that. Take Care.
ZeRo Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 circle of death, sounds like a good friendly family activity.........
