Like I said Repenter, JJJ is more like judo than it is like BJJ. My newly aquired wife (lol) took JJJ and her throws are awesome in comparison to mine, and she stopped doing JJJ for other martial arts years ago.

Doesn't have to be a hip toss used to get someone down, there are many different throws. |
Yeah, I'd have to agree here. My friend and I were goofing around last 4th of July (he wanted to do an exhibition MMA match, I wasn't allowed to punch or kick though, since I knew what I was doing). Well, I'm 5'9-10 and he is about 6'3 and has 40 pounds on me easily.
I was basically tossing him all over the place. Shoots, sweeps, throws, etc. I was shocked by how easily stuff was being pulled off. It is amazing how easy it is to do something when no one knows how to defend it.
