Does anyone know of a style called KoKoDo JuJutsu?

[avisergo]

Hey - Just doing some research and came across a Japanese style called KoKoDo JuJutsu on Youtube I found some videos links below and it looks like they have Goshin style applications as well. Anyone have any information regarding it?

Kokodo? No.

Kokomo? Yes.

KoKoDo? That the jitsu that Koko the gorilla does?

Didn't realize they now had gorillas practicing jujutsu..

and looking into it a bit more i read that the lineage can be traced accordingly
Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu -> Hakkoryu -> KoKoDo JuJutsu. Anyone familiar with any of those arts?

Edit: just found two more videos for KoKoDo JuJutsu here

Looks (to me) like a lot of typical "dead" Japanese Jujutsu. Just compliant partner bull-pucky. But, that is just my opinion.

I suspect the Ko Ko DO Ju JUTSU is not a good sign either. My Japanese speaking compatriots can correct me, but usually isn't it either a "Do" or a "Jitsu/Justu"... not both? Made up names usually mean made up arts.

To the best of my knowledge Do in Japanese means Way and Jutsu means Art, and I think JuJutsu means gentle art

The Ko Ko way of the gentle art.

In all seriousness you know the rules, man: If they don't spar don't train with them.

Looks like they don't, maybe go watch a class of theirs just to be sure.

The influence of Aikido is clear at 0:37 of the first vid in which, when seated the Tori is grabbed around the Neck by Uke and then takes the proferred Wrist so Tori can execute his intended Technique. The problem is it is Conditioning and Unrealistic: anyone other than Uke would either punch with their Right or snap on an RNC.

In the final vid at 0:37 is pure Aikido Shoulder Arm lock.

There are other Techniques which are Trad JJ locks, Throws etc.

I've no other opinion at this time. They could be good or indifferent, there's not enough to be sure: I would say that they need to be more invested in their Attacks; Punch like you mean it - then we'd know.

Yes, I do.

Yes... I know. My point was:
Ju Do
Ju Jitsu/Jutsu
Aiki Do
Aiki Jitsu

Not Judojutsu.

But, as Mister pointed out, Ko Ko way of the gentle art does make sense... kinda.

The influence of Aikido is clear.

That's definitely an interesting perspective and I also just found an interesting article relevant here it's an interview between Roy Dean and Soke Irie Yasuhiro (founder of KoKoDo JuJutsu) and it talks about the connection of how kokodo uses aiki in it's style.

kokodo jujutsu

Ok kokodo is consists of waza and standing waza...you first learn how to escape a two hand grab, the first technique Is called nuke ti which means escape once u learn how to escape a two hand grab u develop more skill to learn other techniques on waza..wrist locks are painful and effective but you have to know when and how to use the techniques based on how the attacker attacks you..if he is aggressive then you have to use his own power against him..a weaker attack will be easier but different defense is used because you have to adjust to your attacker and know what's he doing..I been studying for years but not recently due to busy life..so once u learn sitting waza you move up to standing waza..pure japanese jujutsu but kokodo version..the throws take more time to learn unless you are a natural..wrestling helped me with the throws but I realized I was using my wrestling background to help me with my techniques and that's not what kokodo is but I eventually learned to just use pure updated Japanese techniques..judo may help a lot and wrestling...so I hope I helped..this art is gentle cuz the way you use the techniques but in the streets it's a different story..it will help get away from a enemy if you study rigorously for days..

As well as the 1001 threads about aliveness in the martial arts.
Basically anything that starts with hey grab my wrist is pretty much bullshit.

Koko is an American Gorilla. She does catch and folk style.

That's not completely fair. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has a way to deal with every grab.

It's the sending the people flying through the air from the knees that was the red flag for me.
