Friends,
At Cempaka Putih Dojo, we're pioneering a radical new training concept that will take one's jujutsu to a whole new level, a one-person sparring method that breaks boundaries, wrists, and elbows in search of excellence.
It's called self-submission.
Friends, this is a one-person training drill that involves applying an Americana, Kimura, Udi-Gatama, Triangle choke, or any other submission you can manage to the person who matters most: yourself.
The concept can also be extended to sparring, whereby you swipe at yourself with hooks, jabs and crosses, even Thai roundhouse kicks and knee-strikes.
We can't pretend it's 100 percent safe, but hey, this is martial arts. If you want safe, go and take up knitting or even better - play with your Dolly.
Joey Danu, ever the pioneer, added an ukemi element to the drill, called 'Superman,' where you just throw yourself off progressively higher levels of a building. (You can work up to this level by falling down the stairs).
Ok. Enjoy training and stay safe.
Salam Budo !

Okay, you guys are definitely the 'not-taking-ourselves-seriously' types.
Figures, since I myself am heavily researching self-defence tactics using an umbrella. Other guys would go with more universal concepts, but me? Nooo, I'd go to the most peculiar thingamaboob of all and try to mold it into something universal.
Wait for my umbrella-based medieval German swordmanship course, boo yah!
Dasaman,
Are you mocking my 'self-submission' concept ?? :-)
See new post on 'Tradition Vs. Confusion.' Using the umbrella is proper 'traditional' jujutsu -- ie using practical tools to achieve your aim. Umbrella's a good weapon, as is rolling up a magazine.
I personally think the rolled-up magazine lacks 'oomph' for serious head banging though.
Though the umbrella didn't not last as long as I thought, by personal experience (involving a huge ass bus to boot)
