thats the reason why JW has such a unique style. In previous HK and other HK inspired martial art flicks the emphasis was on fluid striking, blocking and dodging and flowing choreography with either the strikes or using the environment. Whereas JW uses grappling/throws and mixes guns into it

Belarus. But there are indeed sambo practicioners in the theatre, one of them performing uchi-mata and a perfect koshi-guruma into a kesa-gatame, the other one performing a flying armbar. Sambo has a lot in common with judo, but flying armbars are much more popular in sambo than judo, and John uses that kind of stuff a lot, so i'd say this is correct.

I realize we are both partly wrong on his origins. The lady in the theatre talks about the "Ruska Roma". Those are the gypsies scattered around the actual Russia, Belarus and Ukraine sometimes persecuted under the Soviet Union. John refers to himself as "child of Belarus". The surname "Jovonovich" is likely an Americanized version of the Serbian Jovanovic, and many Roma communities are in fact of Serbian origins. It's also unclear if he is an orphan or son of somebody from a tribe. So his personal origin is unknown but the tribe he grew up with is likely of Serbian origin and under the USSR lived in Belarus. We could speculate that they fled communism and went to the United States. Anyway, sambo still remains a good guess, given the native region of his tribe and the fact that there are indeed sambo practitioners inside the theatre.

To clarify this, the closest martial art resembling Bjj is Kosen Judo, which is a grappling heavy form of Judo that evolved at minimum in parallel to Bjj. Japanese Jujitsu contains strikes, kicks, eye and body gouges, and grappling techniques intended to dislocate limbs and kill. There are some similarities between Aikido and Judo and Bjj because all are derived from the grappling parts of Jujitsu. Aikido and Judo evolved from the desire to be able to practice martial arts without the high chance of getting injured or dying in practice. It is not incorrect to say that Judo is a sect of Jujitsu that bans dangerous and "hard" techniques from sparring. You can learn Jujitsu but only spar with Judo. After some point, the excess Jujitsu techniques were dropped to focus on Judo.

You know I have said this on other channels, It NEVER ceases to Amaze me on what the Human Body can do from Singing/Beatboxing , Strength Feats , Surviving Accidents/Major Trauma , Martial Arts , Slight of Hang Magic Tricks , and foods we can eat. Humans are just NUTS !

Cant believe Keanu Reeves could do all those moves in all the John Wick movies from part 1-4 Awesome . He's a natural. John wick according to fhs storyline is from Belarus who knows how to speak Russian as well as various languages and is skilled in Sambo, Aikido, Judo, BJJ( I believe) , Ninjutsu, Kenjitsu and Gun Kata. Also there's a likelihood that Aikijitsu is involved . Keanu inspired more influence for the love of martial arts

Outstanding work! I love how we can see the actors and stunt workers breaking it down sequentially first, then we can see the genuine connections to center that the Aikidoka and Judoka are doing. You did some exhaustive research and brought very diverse film examples. I noticed you used a lot of Seagal-shihan and Reynosa-shihan and their students and I was VERY impressed to see you’d planted lots of Hiroshi Isoyama-shihan clips in there! When people talk crap about Aikido, I literally show them Lenny Sly or Isoyama. Now I can just show them this! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I love the music for this. this video brought back a lot of good memories from training and tournaments of years gone by, and more than a handful of throws that I had struggled to pull off especially in tournaments but can live vicariously through John wick, lol. Thanks!

This was an unexpected gem to find. Thank you

Nicely done. I did a lot of the throws and some of the aiki techniques when I did Japanese Ju-jitsu years ago. The throws work so much better as part of striking (when you are moving and off balance) rather than in a judo context (where you are mostly trying not to move). There are loads of awesome judo throws in Kudo competitions. I find Judo competitions rather boring to watch in comparison. (Judo people might not agree!)

I'm starting to feel like every sacrifice throw can be classified as yoko guruma in judo. I'm guessing they just have to go to the side and you have to sacrifice your back to the ground for it to be called yoko guruma. I didn't actually know kubi nage is a separate technique in judo, I'm thinking today it'd be labeled in competition just as something like koshi guruma, the Kodokan demonstration even has the behind the neck grip. With the ankle pick it's hard to say if it's kibisu gaeshi or kuchiki taoshi, since he grabs below the knee which is very high for heel trip and rather low for the one-handed throwdown. The first sacrifice throw in the first movie has been bothering me a lot. Maybe because it doesn't seem like a technique at all in the end, just him pulling and diving through the legs. To me it looked like fake sumi gaeshi where his leg was supposed to meet the inner thigh, but I've seen it called tomoe nage and now uki waza too. Some of the strangles also confused me, mainly because Kodokan doesn't have them or counts a lot of variations into them. Like jigoku-jime, it looks distinguishable but I wonder if it's labeled as okuri-eri-jime or something in competition. Even Canto choke gets called okuri-eri-jime as far as I know, despite being nothing like the Kodokan's demonstration. I thought the handcuff scene was like sankaku-jime but with a better look here I don't even know what to call it so I'll take your interpretation. At some point the video started labeling sasae tsurikomi ashi as sasae tsurikomi goshi, I assume by accident since I mix up sasae tsurikomi ashi and sode tsurikomi goshi all the time. Goshi meaning hip throw, ashi meaning leg. Sode meaning sleeve and sasae meaning supporting foot. It was cool to see Shintaro Higashi with his father and Sampson judo. Cool video, one of the more comprehensive videos about the techniques.

Évidement , c'est "Violent" !!! Mais les katas sont magnifiquement effectués !

wow Had no idea Keanu was such a performer.

And this isn't even prime John Wick that we see in the movies. He is a little past his prime, so he no longer relies on strength, agility, and reaction speed, although he's shown that he can still contend with some if not all of his contemporaries. What's left is skill, intelligence, and craftiness. He also doesn't have the drive to kill or the cruelty that he used to have when he was taking contracts to make a living and survive. This is evidenced when he spares several people across the franchise, and allows Caine the opportunity to kill him in the last scene of JW4. He's no longer fighting for survival, but instead fighting either for revenge or freedom in the movies. And I would argue that neither of these things necessarily beat one's will to survive. In short, in the past he killed with everything on the line. And in the movies, he killed with nothing on the line. At this point, I'm now arguing for why John seems weaker than Caine in JW4. JW4 shows some of his weaknesses, one of which we already know: his age. Against an equally aging Caine, we also see another weakness: lack of an answer against someone faster than him. The weakness isn't that he sucks at fighting with edged weaponry. We saw him fight Zero in JW3 and narrowly come out on top, and with edged weaponry, too. And he did so while being teamed up on and having fought injured and tired. We know that his hand-to-hand skills aren't necessarily inferior to Caine's, as we see that in the times where Caine doesn't have his sword easily available, their fists, knees, head, and feet are equally effective in fighting the other long enough to get access to their preferred weapons. I think what made Caine a bigger threat in JW4 was his apparent ability to "extend" his prime longer than John, or that Caine was a much faster combatant than John even in their primes. We also know that John had no intention of killing Caine, while Caine had stronger conviction to kill John, albeit reluctantly. Finally, Caine was more advantaged than John, who has apparently fought for his life for several weeks straight without rest and is a lot less "fresh" than Caine. We also can see that John's small, fixed knife is physically disadvantaged against Caine's cane sword.

Actually, Ashi Barai is also shotokan karate technique (known as "sweep the leg, Johnny" too)
