Editorial Reviews:

Professor Wally Jay is a Black Belt Hall of Fame member (1969), 10th-dan in jujutsu under Juan Gomez (a top disciple of Henry S. Okazaki) and a 6th-dan in judo under Ken Kawachi. Professor Jay is one of the few martial artists this century to have come up with a theory of fighting, developed it and put it into practice. His influence is felt throughout the martial arts industry. Volume 1 discusses the 10 basic principles of small-circle jujitsu, including an explanation and demonstration of finger, wrist and joint locking.

Summary: Small Circle Jujitsu, Volume 1 by Wally Jay
Comment: Small Circle Jujitsu Volume 1 by Wally Jay

This is volume 1 of a 5 volume series of Wally Jay's Small Circle Jujitsu available on VHS or DVD. There is also a book by the same title written by Wally jay with easy to follow illustrations and text sold separately which can be used with these videos.

Wally Jay explains and demonstrates application of force used in his small circle jujitsu, which uses the physical forces of leverage in a two way torquing rotation applied against the joints of an opponent or assailant to achieve compliance through the application and control of pain.

Wally Jay lists ten principles to practice in performing Jujitsu to achieve winning results.

Wally Jay explains safety principles to the viewer to observe to protect the practice partner from injury while learning or practicing Jujitsu.

Wally Jay demonstrates sensitive pressure points of the body martial artists take advantage of in addition to the application of pressure of leverage upon joints.

Wally Jay demonstrates an arsenal of holds, wrist locks, elbow locks, arm bars, finger locks and holds. Demonstrations of moves and techniques are detailed for maximum effect. The 5 volume series of Small Circle Jujitsu is well organized and full of information. The applications of Jujitsu moves covered are credible more oriented for self defense than for competition. Anyone practicing these moves while keeping Wally Jay's 10 principles in mind should feel confident and prepared to deal with the scenarios examplified in the video. Anyone who does practice the moves and techniques demonstrated by Wally Jay with a partner should practice slowly and with care not to injure the partner since the information contained in this video has real potential for serious injury if practiced carelessly.

I think what is missing in this series is coverage on dealing with armed assailants and multiple assailants. If these things were added, the topics of self defense would seem more complete in terms of grappling solutions to assalt scenarios.

The book and the VHS or DVD series complement each other very well as excellent sources of learning. I think any serious student will be satisfied with his or her purchase.

Summary: Small circle: zero or hero
Comment: being a master i find it is lacking some content and would benifit from more in depth explanations, however i would highly recomend this movie for those who are thinking of begining the art of ju jitsu, it lays out the basics and lets you know clearly what to expect to get out of ju jitsu.
