What is Jujutsu?
Jujutsu is the martial art that was used by the Samurai on the battlefields of Japan. Initially, it was only used to maim, cripple, and kill multiple opponents while engaged in combat. From Jujutsu came the sport off-shoots of Judo and Aikido. In the early 1900’s Gracie or Brazilian Jiu-jitsu was developed primarily from Judo, Boxing, and Western Wrestling as an effective style for one-on-one full contact mixed martial art competitions. Jujutsu is a versatile art. It can enable you to injure an attacker if necessary for self-defense. It can also allow you to softly blend with your opponent’s energy so you can subdue the opponent without causing injury. The inherent flexibility and versatility of the art sets it apart from many other disciplines.
