Demonstration of Goshin Jutsu Techniques by Sensei Jim Creighton of Creighton Goshin Jutsu

Jim and Paul Creighton (who fought BJ Penn in UFC 37) demonstrate some Jiu JItsu techniques in this video. Its an older video but there are some slick jiu jitsu moves that I think you’ll all enjoy. JIm has a Goshin Jutsu school in Pittsford, New York and Paul has a thriving MMA gym outside Atlanta, GA. I have had the pleasure of training with Sensei Jim and he is a great guy.
