Rego Sensei, 5th dan jujitsu & 3rd dan karate, going through two sequences of self-defense applications with an emphasis on traditional atemi waza (striking techniques) as found in Jukido Jujitsu and Kokondo Karate. The sequences (2nd portion of video) also do have some takedown options as well with the use of Osoto Otoshi and Kote Gaeshi (i.e. sante-waza).
Striking techniques are usually found in traditional jujutsu (and old judo) as effective tools that most often are in the "service" of other branches of technique (such as throws, locks, & chokes). However, they can also be used -- in alignment with authentic karate self-defense -- as the primary branch of technique in a given self-defense circumstance. The Jukido approach to jujitsu adheres to the notion of Kanzen (completeness) -- in principle this means that we need to be well versed in all branches of techniques and that those techniques mess together in a way that doesn't contradict fundamental principles.
