Robert Silas (Aiki_and_Jiu)
In this channel, I review, discuss, and demonstrate the true essence of “Aiki and Jiu” as in Aikijujutsu and Jiu-Jitsu. What makes a technique actually work, can it be achieved with less effort, and is it viable in both worlds. My main goal is to bridge the gap between the Japanese grappling arts of Aikijujutsu/Aikido and modern Jiu-Jitsu to prove that neither are poor martial arts, and both can contribute to enhance the quality of each.
I hold the a 2nd degree black belt in Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu, a brown belt in Judo, and a black belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
