Aikido is a highly evolved form of Japanese jiu-jutsu with smooth flowing techniques and an emphasis on blending rather than fighting. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is also a highly evolved form of Japanese jiu-jutsu however with an emphasis on grappling. In this instructional DVD, you will learn how these arts fit together from two of the top instructors in their respective arts. For the aikido side we have Derek Nakagawa - 4th degree black belt and a 30+ year veteran of the martial arts. On the BJJ side, we have Marcio Feitosa, 3rd degree black belt, legendary competitor, and master instructor of the largest jiu-jitsu school in the world - Gracie Barra.

Disappointed. Not what I was hoping for.
You might get something out of this if you know nothing of aikido or bjj. I was hoping this would offer some insights into how these arts could be combined. Sadly this is not that. It simply presents moves from each art independently. Disappointing.

Good for artists of both styles
Outstanding video for Martial Arts fans who want to see how these two arts can come together effectively. I am not into BJJ, but this instructor shows you how you can use moves from their art into Aikido, Karate, or Japanese defensive Jujitsu well. A for this video.
