Herein find cognitive shortcuts that 1.) follow consistent standards 2.) provide easy-to-use flow charts 3.) develop efficiency and effectiveness on the mat and during mental imagery practice 4.) offer trouble-shooting guides that avoid visual clutter 5.) strengthen the connection between your self-defense system and the real world 6.) map your progress 7.) minimize error 8.) improve technique recognition and recall 9.) allow flexibility for various learning styles 10. create a venue for wrapping your mind around all 200 five-part techniques necessary to move from white belt through tenth-degree black belt – eighteen total belt levels. Personalize this knowledge by occasionally penciling in your own words to improve understanding. This guide, like my most recent book, is inspired by the many books and videos of Sensei George Kirby, Judan, who generously devoted countless hours through more than half a century of intense jujitsu study and focused instruction, during which Sensei documented more than one thousand techniques and variations. As Sensei’s Budoshin Jujitsu instructional system evolved with each new book or video, belt level requirements gradually became more comprehensive. Collating techniques for each belt level from Sensei’s writings, pictures and digital video discs results in this effort to include all techniques necessary for advancement through the eighteen belt levels. As black belts, we are charged with reminding our jujitsu classes that the fascinating study of jujitsu allows an accomplished student many ways to avoid unnecessary mental and physical confrontation. If and when confrontation becomes unavoidable, a student has the ability to instantly tie an aggressor’s mind and body into a knot, with the outcome ranging from pain without injury, to pain with injury, or much worse. One of jujitsu’s many advantages over hard-form martial arts is its development of abilities to modulate a response for any situation. Sensei Dave January, 2018 1 2 Budoshin Jujitsu Belt Levels Earning a white belt – Hachikyu – involves walking into a dojo, observing a class, and signing waivers. Wearing a white belt demonstrates initiative, and a willingness to improve levels of integrity, humility, and respect. Black belts occasionally wear a white belt with these purposes in mind. Yellow Belt – Shichikyu 15 Forms Green Belt – Rokyu 9 Forms ( 24 Total ) Blue Belt – Gokyu 21 Forms ( 45 Total ) Purple Belt – Yonkyu 15 Forms ( 60 Total ) Brown Belt – Green Stripe – Sankyu 23 Forms ( 83 Total ) Brown Belt – Black Stripe – Nikyu 12 Forms ( 95 Total ) Brown Belt – Blue Stripe – Ikkyu 16 Forms ( 111 Total ) First Degree Black Belt – Shodan 39 Forms ( 150 Total ) Second Degree Black Belt – Nidan 22 Forms ( 172 Total ) Third Degree Black Belt – Sandan 9 Forms ( 181 Total ) Fourth Degree Black Belt – Yodan 10 Forms ( 191 Total ) Fifth Degree Black Belt – Godan 9 Forms ( 200 Total ) Sixth Degree Black Belt – Rokudan Seventh Degree Black Belt – Shichidan Eighth Degree Black Belt – Hachidan Ninth Degree Black Belt – Kudan Tenth Degree Black Belt – Judan 3 A Creative Teaching Approach The Power of Compound Instruction When a teacher is capable of creating an adventurous classroom environment that allows students to discover their own preferred learning styles, then students’ natural strengths become the primary focus of their efforts, thereby generating solid success early on in students’ learning cycles. The cliché applies: nothing succeeds like success. Young people tend to know more about important things that are changing, while older people tend to know more about extremely important things that never change. This may create a disconnect, which can be sidestepped by developing an interest in both. Remain open to the possibilities inherent in sharing and listening to thoughts, concepts and ideas from multiple sources, while observing from several perspectives. The result is astounding enrichment. For example, regardless of natural ability or educational background, all of the best musicians with whom I have had the pleasure of working have three things in common. 1.) They play more than one instrument. 2.) They know rhythm, scales and chords extremely well. 3.) They wear strange attire. Becoming very accomplished at more than one instrument provides the immeasurable advantage of acquiring musical paradigms and perspectives that can be gained no other way. Becoming accomplished at rhythm, scales and chords, which are the fundamentals of music, allows performance to become second nature. And the only possible cure for a musician’s choice of weird clothing is marriage to a resilient spouse with a somewhat reserved sense of style, and even that does not always provide a sufficient remedy. Regardless, these three qualities are both consistent and indelible in all the great musicians with whom I have been blessed to share a stage. Likewise, all the best martial artists with whom I have worked have three things in common. 1.) They practice more than one system of self-defense. 2.) They have internalized timing, techniques and forms. 3.) They often wear a somewhat odd uniform that is, or strongly resembles, a gi. Becoming very accomplished at more than one system of self-defense provides the immense advantage of acquiring self-defense paradigms and perspectives that can be 4 gained no other way. Becoming highly skilled at timing, techniques and forms, which are the fundamentals of all martial arts, develops self-defense expertise that is second nature. The gi is worn only to avoid destroying street clothes. As is the case with the best musicians, these three qualities are also both consistent and indelible in all the great self- defense sensei with whom I have been blessed to work. Proficient sensei, especially those who have enjoyed opportunities to present self- defense seminars to fellow sensei, tend to develop more than one way to teach any technique. Hence, sensei with extensive backgrounds tend to present their students with two or more ways to learn the day’s lesson. Consequently, more students learn more techniques with more ease and clarity. Just like well-managed money toward eventual retirement, more is better; just as compound interest greatly magnifies retirement portfolios, compound instruction intensifies the day’s lesson, and expands opportunity in learning experiences. Even students who don’t get lost in the first presentation of a technique, often grasp important concepts in the second, and alternative, way of examining a technique. A great example of this is found in my greatest college professor, Art Woodbury, who would purposefully allow our class to mentally wrestle with a concept he was teaching. Toward the end of class, he would present us with an alternate way of coming to understand the concept, thereby purposely creating a collective ah-ha, or eureka moment, that excited students, and positively electrified the entire class. This is when he became so enthusiastic, that he often hyperventilated. Students loved his classes because this second explanation – the pearl of knowledge – was his way of creating sizzle, and, to repeat another cliché, the sizzle sells the steak. Our professor actually had a name for this second presentation in each class he taught: nutshell. Students saw it coming when he said, “Now, here is what is really going on. Are you ready for the nutshell?” Being the excellent teacher that he was, and due to the frenzy that he purposely stirred up in each class, he knew that this presentation of a second way, and often an enhanced way of understanding the concept, would be received by his students like third-world children experiencing a first taste of chocolate. A perceptive sensei is likely to develop, just in the process of teaching, more than one way to teach a concept. Students’ questions, ideas and glassy-eyed stares inspire a deepening of this sensei’s own thought processes, resulting in both clarifications and alternate ways to understand and/or explain techniques.
