Looks like rebranded Systema, really.
I would like to know one thing about Russian martial arts in general: Looking at videos such as this one from Mr. Grujic's school, ( ) as well as others, it would seem that Russian martial arts really don't like the concepts of "guard" or "keeping your hands up." If you look at 0.15 in the video above, you see hands-dropping fu galore, and I'm wondering how RMA practitioners don't consistently get knocked the **** out due to nonexistent guard. -

I believe a few of the schools under the Bujinkan umbrella have unarmed components (e.g. Kukishin Ryū). Jūjutsu is just a common term to refer to such disciplines; Taijutsu, Kenpō, and Yawara are examples of some others. Pre-Meiji Japan's martial arts institutions were more or less the domain of the samurai class; the same class also serviced the intelligence needs of typically Daimyō or the Shogun.
Although classical schools trended towards specialization and an overall distancing from battlefield sensibilities by the end of the warring states period, samurai were rarely if ever truly unarmed in any era. As such, the Jūjutsu of classical schools either remains as a part of a whole that contains principally Kenjutsu in addition to things like Sojutsu and Naginatajutsu (e.g. Kashima Shinryū, Araki Ryū) or one more specialized in a particular domain, such as the joint-locking, striking, and seizing of Tenjin Shinyō Ryū; but even that school still addresses smaller arms IIRC. It was only when Jigoro Kanō established Jūdō at the end of the 19th century as Budō open and available to everyone that there truly "unarmed" grappling was institutionalized.Last edited by DARPAChief; 6/11/2011 10:59pm at .
