Jukaado Kumite - Practical training to simulate Realistic Attack

JUKAADO is a Mutli Martial Art with the base combination consisting of Judo, Karate and Aikido. However we also adapt and absorb the good techniques from numerous martial arts like Muay Thai, Kung fu, Kempo and so on.

Being a multi martial art our training is very practically based and is very useful for civilians in self - defense as well as defense and security personal in Unarmed Combat. When a fight breaks out in the street the outcome or the way the fight will proceed cannot be controlled as there are no refrees like in a ring and no rules too. One has to be prepared for anything, sometimes even being hurled at with objects like stones, helmets, chairs and so on. In my personal experience as a security consultant I have experienced these quite a few times. It is only practical training that can prepare you for such attacks. The secret to good self defense is an alert mind and the ability to be prepared for anything that comes your way. Repetitive training is the only way one can achieve this ability.



The above video is a Jukaado kumite where the fight may start with kicks and punches but as it often happens in a street fight it may end up on the ground. This is where knowledge of jukaado is practically based we train in striking techniques as well as grappling and locking techniques so no matter where the fight goes we are prepared to defend our self and restrain the attacker from harming us and other innocent bystanders. In the video it is visible how from a standing brawl suddenly they end up on the ground and finally the fight is ended with an arm lock. While training we tap out if any joint is locked so as to eliminate the chance of any injuries during training.




In the above video the Kumite or fight is different because of the approach of the fighters. No two people think alike and so similarly no two people fight alike too. Many times a street fight may never result in lots of kicking and punching but gets into grappling that is pushing, pulling and so on. The above video is a classic example of this. Barely do they start fighting they get close and throw each other to the ground and try to get control of the other by either restricting movement or by locking the arm. The fight ends with one of them Locking the arm of the other.

The secret to any perfection or excellence is practice and doing the same thing again and again and again.

Importance of Self defense training for all.

Self defense training is a life skill that is very important for all to learn irrespective of age, gender or fitness levels. It is the training to be ready and prevent being a victim of a violent assault or crime. Self defense is about how we respond in the first 10 to 15 seconds after being physically attacked and also about the few minutes prior to that.  Very often the attitude of most people is - Why do I need to learn all this, we have the law to protect us and it won't happen to me. Yes we do have a wonderful law enforcement departments like the police and the judiciary to protect us and give justice etc. But we are our own first responders. There is no police patrol vehicle following each of us to protect us as soon as something happens. Self defense training is exactly for this time zone between being attacked and the police coming to the scene to protect you. We need to train for this exact moment on how to respond when attacked violently and prevent ourselves ...

It is all about the MINDSET.

Everything in life boils down to mindset. If we wish to be good at anything we need to first fix our mindset. Once the mindset is on point then there is nothing we can not achieve, heal, grow from or excel at. Usually people try to change the way they do things while they are doing it and then once it is done with they let it go. It doesn't work that way. If we wish to do something or achieve something there is only one way, that is - just get it done. There is no other way or I will start slowly etc.  If you wish to be a good martial artist or good at self defense then you have to become it. You can't train few times a week and expect to be good at it. It doesn't matter how focused you are or how much effort you are putting when you train, if it is not your mindset then you aren't going to be good at it. You need to be in that state 24/7. You have to be alert, aware all the time, your situational awareness should be always on, is your head always on the swi...

Escape and Evade

Escape and evade is a drill we use at Jukaado to build on ones ability to be calm and execute even while being beaten or pushed around.  Many times when someone gets into a confrontation which may escalate into a fight, some may freeze out of shock or just not know where and how to move when the first push or punch is executed. This drill helps in building the ability to function even when we are being knocked in the head. To find gaps and escape from the triangle of attackers. To evade the attack to create a gap to escape.  Situational awareness is always important. Keeping distance in an altercation is also important. However even if we may slip up on both these we need to train to get out of the mess and evaluate what needs to be done. One may be in a verbal confrontation with an individual while 2 of his or her friends cover you from the back and the side. This is a pretty bad place to be in from a self defense perspective. We can only remedy it but there will be some coll...
