jujitsu or Jiu-jitsu
Many martial arts historians recognize Jujitsu as the first established martial arts system, originating in India some two thousands years before Christ. It spread to Asia and eventually proliferated in feudal Japan.
"Jujitsu" or Jiu-jitsu is a word that means "skill". Very broadly and generally speaking, an art that ends with the suffix "jitsu" refers to the one of the battlefield arts of the samurai. This is where the words "bujitsu" (Martial Art) and "budo" (Martial Way) come from. Bujitsu, or Martial Art, is one that has application in the warefare of the feudal period of Japan.
A budo is an art that is more concerned with moral development, aesthetic form and physical fitness, all in that order.
for your defense
We teach Yoshin Ryu Jujitsu, which incorporates techniques from Judo, Aikido, Karate, and the French art Savate.
The basic techniques taught to the beginners is to learn how to defend oneself. In our Jujitsu classes, the student is taught basic punches, kicks, blocks, throws, pins, locks and the "lever technique", meaning the use of leverage rather than power or brute force.
In Jujitsu we teach you how to effectively disable a larger stronger attacker.
Weapons training, such as 2ft, 3ft, 5ft staff, bokken (wooden sword), sai, kama, and other traditional weapons are an integral part of Jujitsu classes.
Jujitsu is a form of fitness, coordination, discipline and ultimately, self-defense.
