Jun 9, 2013 - Jim's 25 Traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu Throws. The Jiu-Jitsu Vocabulary. The Jiu-Jitsu vocabulary is a very interesting thing when you come to think of it. First of all, you got the crazy blend of words that we use to explain things. For example, say you do an Uchi Mata and go for back control to finish with a Mata Leao. Japanese, English, and Portuguese terms in one sentence.
This section gives photographs and full descriptions for many techniques found in a standard traditional Jujitsu syllabus.
Unfortunately we simply don't have time to complete the Purple, Brown and Black belt sections just yet. Would you like to contribute to these sections?
Well we all need to start somewhere, and this is it! Just remember, the first step is often the hardest...
The white belt syllabus should be a gentle introduction for all students. Included are a couple of strikes, punches and kicks, and of course some blocks for strikes. You'll also learn a couple of basic throws to use against some strikes.
After around 2 months of training for the white belt, you should be ready for the red belt techniques.
During this belt you will learn some more strikes and blocks. The famous hip throw will be taught, one of the most common throws in Jujitsu and Judo.
Some other throws will be taught for you to understand more about how the human body works.
First on the yellow belt syllabus are some elbow strikes, followed by some great finishes to the hip throw.
You will now start to learn some standing arm-locks to apply after blocking a strike.
The yellow belt syllabus finishes with some ground-fighting work which is a great introduction for some further Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques.
The orange belt syllabus starts with some 'snazzy' kicks.
4 more advanced throws are taught for differing situations giving you a few more finishing moves after each throw.
Just like the previous belt, the syllabus ends with some more ground-fighting techniques.
