Title: Kokushi-ryu Jujitsu
Review: I found this book to be rehashed Aikido/Judo moves done in the older form appearing to look like the original jujitsu waza. But the arts are not necessarily the original jujitsu combat forms, particularly the ukemi.It appears that many high ranks in Judo and Aikido are trying to get back into the older arts of jujitsu to round out what may have been missing in their specialty training in current years, but are injecting too many of the modern sport moves in to their own homegrown systems to actually be combat authentic. Simply taking a jujitsu test in judo to become qualified in jujitsu does not seem to work out very well.The Gracies may just as well written the book, their background is similar to the Authors from the looks of it.
Is the review positive or negative?
