For the mat maniacs – if you've ever felt that electric surge when you lock in a submission and watch your training partner's eyes widen like they've just spotted a ghost, then buckle the fuck up. For today, we're going into the depths to insert the kind of knowledge that doesn't just teach you to tap someone out... it teaches you to work your submissions with the precision of a samurai's katana slicing through silk. I'm talking about Shoot Fighting Submission Systems by Yoshiaki Fujiwara, the two-volume beast of an instructional from BJJ Fanatics that's straight fire for anyone who wants to channel the raw, unfiltered power of a Japanese pro wrestling god. He also happens to be Karl Goth's BEST STUDENT by the old man himself.
Back in the day in 1972, a young Yoshiaki Fujiwara steps into the ring, not as some flashy showman, but as a goddamn force of nature – a Pankration pioneer who blended catch wrestling's grit with shoot-style savagery. Over 50 years later, he's passing the torch through these videos and still killing it. let me tell you something you guys, after devouring the previews and geeking out over the breakdowns, it's like he's whispering ancient secrets directly into your ear: "Kid, forget the athleticism bullshit. Technique is your superpower. Use it to carve up the world."
Volume 1: Lower Body Lockdown – Turning Legs into Leverage Nightmares
It kick off with the heel hook, that sneaky bastard of submissions that can end a fight faster than a bad Tinder date. Fujiwara doesn't just show you the entry; he dissects it like a surgeon on steroids – precise hip angles, that crucial twist of the knee, and boom, your opponent's screaming "Uncle" before they even realize they're in the family reunion from hell. Then it's knee bars that feel like upgrading from a rusty bicycle to a nitro-fueled chopper, toe holds that grip like Wolverine's rage, and front headlock attacks that transition smoother than a jazz solo into a mosh pit.
But here's a real epic twist: Fujiwara's not peddling parlor tricks. These are SYSTEMS – chains of attacks from defense positions that leave zero escape routes. Imagine lifting a resisting beast off the mat with nothing but leverage and a smirk, then slamming home a crank that makes their spine question its life choices. No superhuman strength required; just smart, savage geometry that turns your body into a human vice grip. I've been in holds like these from another student of Gotch and holy shit – he made me tap quicker than flies on a zapper. These are not the type of holds you want to be on the other end of. They make you humble but when you apply them, your training partners will respect your Authoritah (Eric Cartman).
Volume 2: Upper Body Annihilation – Chokes, Cranks, and Counters That Crush Souls
Flip to the sequel, and it's upper-body Armageddon. We're talking Nami Juji Jime – the cross choke with a towel that sneaks in like a ninja in the night, wrapping around necks with the subtlety of a velvet noose. Hadaka Jime? Rear naked perfection, refined over decades into something so fluid, it's like choking out doubt itself. And the Fujiwara Armbar? You're not going to want skip it, this is the OG – a wrist-wrecker so elegant, it counters escapes before they even dream of happening.
What seals the deal are the counters: Heel hook defenses that flip the script, armbar reversals that make you the hunter instead of the hunted. Fujiwara's voiceover – gravelly, wise, and laced with that old-school gravitas – drops gems like, "Feel the resistance, then explode through it." It's philosophy wrapped in pain: Every joint lock is a lesson in control, every crank a reminder that true power bends without breaking. By the end, you're not just learning moves; you're forging a mindset where submissions aren't finishes – they're symphonies of fucking dominance.
Why This Bad Ass Course Will Supercharge Your Game (And Your Soul)
In a world bloated with "quick-fix" gurus hawking half-baked hacks, Fujiwara's system stands tall like a mountain in a sea of molehills. Benefits? Let's count 'em on bloodied knuckles:
- Lightning-Fast Finishes: These aren't slow grinds; they're blitzkriegs. Dynamic transitions mean you chain chokes to cranks to locks, leaving opponents flailing like fish on a hook.
- No-Strength Shenanigans: Technique over testosterone. Perfect for us mortals in our 40s (or 70s, apparently) who want to outsmart the young bucks without gassing out. If you have some crazy strength, it'll make your opponents wish they were never born.
- Full-Body Arsenal: Upper and lower attacks in one cohesive blueprint. Add this to your BJJ, no-gi, or even wrestling toolkit, and watch your submission rate skyrocket.
- Legacy-Level Nuances: 5+ Decades of tweaks – from towel chokes born in the dojos of doom to heel hook counters that saved careers. This is the stuff that turns good grapplers into legendary combatants.
