NOW OFFERING KIDS JUJUTSU CLASSES!

What is Traditional Japanese Jujutsu?

Japanese jujutsu systems emphasize throwing, immobilizing and pinning, joint-locking, and strangling techniques, compared with other empty-handed fighting systems that use atemiwaza (striking techniques) such as punching, striking, and kicking. Jujutsu is a learned skill or practice. It may take a student more than twenty years to mature and perfect their skills. Jujutsu practitioners use every conceivable technique to win in combat, and train in the use of many potentially fatal moves. Students usually train in a non-competitive environment and are taught break-falling skills to minimize the risk of injury during practice.
