What is jujitsu

Jujitsu is a centuries-old system of unarmed combat, formulated and practiced by the Samurai warriors of feudal Japan. Many modern martial arts (Judo, Aikido, Ninjitsu, Hapkido, Kempo, Krav Maga and even some systems of Karate) have their roots in Jujitsu. Historically, this art was also known as Taijutsu and Hakuda. There is no “official” way to spell Jujitsu, and you may find it presented as Jujutsu, Ju-jutsu, Ju-Jitsu, Jiu-Jitsu or Jiu-Jutsu. These are all varied translations of the same word and they are all acceptable. Ju in Japanese means flexible, pliable or “to give way” and Jitsu means “art” or “practice”. Together these words mean “the art of pliability or flexibility”. Jujitsu is often translated to English as “the gentle art”, but this can be misleading as the techniques are not gentle on the attacker. The concept of “gentle” refers more to the fact that the techniques require little strength by the person applying them. The Samurai were professional soldiers and were train

Jujitsu  is a collective name for Japanese martial arts styles including unarmed and armed techniques."Ju" can be translated to mean "gentle, supple, flexible, pliable, or yielding." "Jitsu" can be translated to mean "art" or "technique" and represents manipulating the opponent’s force against himself rather than confronting it with one’s own force. Jujutsu evolved among the samauri of feudal Japan as a method for defeating an armed and armored opponent in which one uses no weapon, or only a short weapon. Because striking against an armored opponent proved ineffective, practitioners learned that the most efficient methods for neutralizing an enemy took the form of pins, joint locks, and throws. These techniques were developed around the principle of using an attacker’s energy against him, rather than directly opposing it.

Jujitsu is a martial art which reflects the movements of the attacker back upon him or her. It has been practiced in Japan since the sixteenth century, although Jujitsu has its origins in Chinese martial arts. Jujitsu uses a series of joint locks, small weaponry, and defensive tactics in combination with conserved energy to neutralize an attacker. Many other martial arts such as Judo and Aikido have their roots in Jujitsu. The word “Jujitsu” means the practice of gentleness, and in addition to learning the moves associated with Jujitsu, students also make changes in their characters. Jujitsu is supposed to focus and calm the students, with the aim of making them better martial artists and more refined individuals as well. The movements of Jujitsu are efficient, flowing, and circular, and it is a distinctly beautiful martial art to watch. Jujitsu is also usually practiced within a very small circle, and many Jujitsu moves have been refined for close quarters fighting. Jujitsu reached it

DanZan Ryu JuJitsu is a comprehensive system of self-defense, in which you learn to use leverage, balance, and continuous motion to maximize your effectiveness against a larger and stronger attacker. Students learn rolls, falls, escapes, joint locks, throws, and grappling techniques, as well as the blocks, punches, and kicks more commonly associated with the martial arts. The variety of techniques allows you to use only the force you need to defend yourself and those you love. JuJitsu is challenging, exciting, and fun! More importantly, JuJitsu teaches us that the best way to win a fight is not to have one. We learn to be aware of our surroundings, to recognize and heed the subtle signs that warn us of danger, so we can get out of harms way. We also practice awareness of our own actions and words, learning how what we do affects others, so we can defuse tense situations before they escalate into violence. The highest ideal within JuJitsu is of the warrior as healer and peacemaker. JuJi

Guest Author – Caroline Baker Jujitsu is a broad term used to represent a style of Martial Arts that originated from the samurai and was one of the key forms they practiced for hand-to-hand combat. From this art derives many of the modern styles, such as Judo and Aikido. It is sometimes lumped into the even wider term of karate, though that does it a great injustice as the art is quite different in origin and intent. The word Jujitsu, sometimes also spelled Jiu-Jitsu, Jujutsu, is literally translated to the gentle art. Its origins are clouded by several legends, some saying it came from a Chinese emigrant, some that it is indigenous to Japan. The idea behind Jujitsu is to maintain efficient use of energy, minimal movements, and utilizing your opponents momentum to your advantage. Traditional Jujitsu does incorporate some weapons, such as the katana, spears and other weapons that would have been common to the samurai. However, it is rare for a lower rank student to work weapons and few
