Done and vexations of envy. The embryo of the so-called jujitsu Wjjf - or better than Robert Clark in Italy - takes foot home of the old and glorious Fesika
The disappeared, a friend and rival of many battles, Franco Franchi, Secretary General I had trimmed the hot potato of kendo / iaido with teachers and Toyofuko Miyazaki and directed by ju jitsu Stelvio Sciutto.
In truth ju jitsu, in that if they spoke little and say frankly evil. It was on these pages Samurai 1978 (No. 3-15 February) that gave fortnightly space Stelvio Sciutto to present his program that wrote: "I must say that when I was Bertoletti chieso to prepare a technical exercise for ju jutsu this magazine, I accepted with great pleasure the invitation weighing that finally someone was pointing out that there is also a ju jutsu because until now many so-called "lovers of martial arts have always said that the ju jutsu no longer exists, but without go into unnecessary controversy, ju jitsu is alive and well and is taking his position in the world of martial arts. "
And he launched both controversy and envy where Gianni Ros-sato who taught American goju karate and ju jitsu (s vital points in particular) sguazzava greatly. We arrived, with the mediation, worth Caesar Barioli, to organise a sort of league of Italian ju jitsu with a regulation known science fiction hours. It ended in the way that you can imagine. All winners also unhappy. The maximum!
When Europeans Iakf to Kri-stal Palace of Lon-don, we started looking for that ju jitsu in both English is spoken. And we met Dick Morris, shrewd factotum British ju jitsu with whom we decided a plan of cooperation.
March'78 contract with the first "old" British ju jitsu federation with the industry Aidjj (Associazione Italiana spread Jujitsu) ju jitsu led by Gsb (National Councillor Fesika) and Stelvio Sciutto.
June'78, Ovada the first stage with Robert Clark, Morris, Steadman, Maroteaux. New community Aidjj member of the Italian Wjjf which changed its name from Wuku (World union kenpo union)
July'78 stage to Die in France
August'78 stage Italo-French to English Carignan (France)
January'79 Milan second World Congress.
It is the opportunity for a first informal meeting with the engineer Rinaldo Orlandi (5 ° dan) and an analytical program examines technical Fik and Wjjf. Creation of budo-pass - copyrigth Samurai magazine - which will be copied throughout the world. Of 40 pages that record in 5 languages, the whole progression of activity, degree and qualifications of practicing.
They distributed the first new international diplomas dan and the first "technical program" in English with more than 200 photographs. Everything made by Gsb. Basically the structure was born Wjjf based management in Milan and technical Liverpool.
The 1979 is the year of Liverpool. We knew that they are many, we were not prepared to see 600 students on a tatami of 1000 square meters. The ju jitsu Wjjf had become a field of Fiam, chaired at the time by Rodolfo Ottaggio and the general secretary, myself. The Wjjf put out his great organization, clarity of technical divided into traditional and modern breadth of views and a spirit of cooperation by joining the most diverse experiences, severity over assigning grades, with members ranging from the global to Japan Americas.
At that time the British tiravano that the group were: soke, Blondel (9 ° dan) was Robert Clark (co-owner Bob); Jhon Stedman (5 ° dan).
For France Roland Maroteaux
(6 ° dan); Stelvio Sciutto (5 ° dan) for the Italy; Willy Klish (4 ° dan) for Germany; Victor Ott for Belgium (6 ° dan). Hundreds third parties, first and second dan.
Seicentesettantadue practicing for the accuracy to that stage el'indomani a session of examinations with 300 candidates. Said Bob (Robert Clark), and in that time: "We believe our duty to show people what is our ju jitsu and is the responsibility of managers to control the phases of this development, solving a demand is outstripping supply." We struck a young and lively boy who brought the dark glasses "It's a blind - we explained - that Victor Ott sent from Belgium to perfect with Clark. There was already time to deal also with the many social associations strange today. The same Maurizio Silvestri today deus ex machina of Im / Wjjf a contract (not exclusive but priority) wrote: "I really do not expect it."
It was in'79 that the very basis of the idea of a summer camp in Sicily at Favignana, so everyone, mothers, children, military and teens to know, to live, to work together under the pennone of Wjjf. We arrived the East where the Communist ju jitsu not even knew what it was - barely knew the judo and karate -. The only occasion official to participate as observers at the first European Cup Jjif odgovornega Rinaldo Or-landi in Florence.
All made up of two teams from Sweden (led by Hans-ger Gre), one of Germany, Spain with Colonel Garcia responsible for the square High of Granada, among other member Wjjf, and Italy.
Orlandi stresses the meeting: "This Cup is Europe experimental purposes, we have no fear of what will be, perhaps it would have been better prepared in camera". Who knows! Today it Jjif International has been provisionally recognized by Gaisf and in 2001 in Japan should occur recognition final.
While Wjjf grew in every country, also came the desire to compete. The "contact" came from the States mieteva successes and we too, Bob and I, we provammo.
Organizzammo an evening in Liverpool, all'Holyday Inn kick boxing, Italy-England and won gl'inglesi that were put in revenge ko in Bergamo. Provammo a sort of kick jutsu and believe me we were very rational to give up now. As they say in New York: "el tò mestee ago!" And we did, only stage, tendering enbu, shapes and demonstration groups.
And to be clear, everything that relates to kick jutsu or similar initiatives are not our own house.
Usciva the technical manual of Wjjf / Italian in Italy, a nice bilingual book for children, designed by Maurizio Silvestri. My trip to Japan in search of great budo for Easter brings me home of old schools, Ken-shinbudo of soke Ryoshi Hayabuchi and dell'Hontai yoshin ryu, the venerable master disappeared Saburo Minaki, that today everyone has on the mouth.
Participants then in a different Corsican during the voyage of Mac-I (Martial arts commission Italy) for the tournament Jkka of Kobe (Japan Kenshukai Karate-do Association tion) so shihan Eiji Ogasahara and particularly the master Renato Bosich ( Alexandria) obtained the first acknowledgment by soke Minaki.
We were in 1984 when so shihan Eiji Ogasahara, visiting a historic Easter Budo, I delivered, as a last act of a job of promoting the 7 ° dan from par -
You soke of Saburo Minaki.
The following year also Munetoshi Inoue became so-ke Minoki the disappearance of the riconfermò sensei!
Act is not very understood but… Somebody felt touched and supported by Samurai, flew to Japan to open direct knowledge dell'Hontai or school wind of pines. Saburo Minaki had died, the former sempai were at war with each other. Fumon Tanaka followed his path, Kitada, former head of Minaki sensei degl'istruttori created the josjhn while Munetoshi Inoue took the reins of l'Hontai yoshin ryu now emptied which remained linked to the traditional sector Wjjf. Stelvio Sciutto said that contrary to the initiative Japan, jumped on the wagon of the "yellow" and after a clash in Livorno, emerged and created the referent group.
The Wjjf that had become Wjjko signed, Robert Clark and Gsb, the protocol to 10 (1989) with 4 years of soke schools Fumon Ta-naka, while Mau-rizio Silvestri was invested in a protocol.
Time is honourable man and now all work together under different acronyms in Italy and abroad to support the technical work of racing Wjjf / Wjjko. The roads were many, different expectations but one thing you can be sure it has always pursued for the sake of ju jitsu.
We have supported the body Ijjf with an agreement, and we have led the ju jitsu everywhere, investing before and after rinvestendo.
Collaboration with everyone without usurp the image and ensuring self-sufficiency. The controversy now, what of other times, each group in Italy and abroad works to improve the promotion under the insignia of the organization of soke Robert Clark and, why not, Gsb. What we speak today brasilian or american ju jitsu can make us smile, we are simply the "World"!
