JIU JITSU

Jiu Jitsu “Original MMA”

Jiu Jitsu, literally meaning the “art of softness”, or “way of yielding” is a collective name for Japanese martial art styles including unarmed and armed techniques. Jui Jitsu utilizes principles of physics and the knowledge of human anatomy to overcome an attacker with as little effort possible. Using leverage and balance to his/her advantage, the practitioner achieves maximum effect with minimum effort. The practitioner of Jiu Jitsu has a large array of techniques available to him or her, including strikes, joint locks, throws, submission holds, pins, and pressure points in order to deal with and control any situation which may arise.

Jujutsu evolved among the samurai of feudal Japan as a method for defeating an armed and armored opponent without weapons. Due to the ineffectiveness of striking against an armored opponent, 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.

There are many variations of the art, which leads to a diversity of approaches. Jujutsu schools (ryū) may utilize all forms of grappling techniques to some degree (i.e. throwing, trapping, joint locks, holds, gouging, biting, disengagements, striking, and kicking). In addition to jujutsu, many schools teach the use of weapons.

Today, jujutsu is practiced both as it was hundreds of years ago, but also in modified forms for sport practice. Derived sports forms include the Olympic sport and martial art of judo, which was developed from several traditional styles of jujutsu by Kano Jigoro in the late 19th century; and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which was—in turn—derived from earlier versions (pre-World War II) of Kodokan judo.
