Jujitsu-Self Defense

LEARN HOW TO SEAMLESSLY BLEND STRIKING, THROWING, AND GROUND FIGHTING

JuJitsu (sometimes spelled Jiu Jitsu) is a martial art designed with a strong focus on self-defense, emphasizing the use of an attacker’s own strength and energy against them. The name JuJitsu translates to “gentle art,” highlighting its reliance on technique and strategy rather than brute force. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals of all sizes seeking to improve their self-defense skills.

A key principle of JuJitsu is its “no resistance” philosophy, which encourages practitioners to flow with an opponent’s movements instead of meeting force with force. Techniques such as redirection, off-balancing, and elusiveness are central to its approach, enabling students to efficiently disarm or neutralize threats. Whether in striking, grappling, or ground-fighting situations, JuJitsu provides a comprehensive set of tools for effective self-defense.

Beyond physical techniques, JuJitsu fosters mental discipline, situational awareness, and confidence, all of which are essential components of effective self-defense. Its ability to empower individuals while teaching them practical skills makes JuJitsu one of the most versatile and reliable self-defense systems available today.

Centuries ago, Japanese Samurai mastered the art of Jujitsu while living by the Bushido code, the “way of the warrior knight.” This code shaped their values, emphasizing discipline, respect, and honor. Jujitsu laid the groundwork for many martial arts, including Judo, Aikido, Sambo, Karate, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga, and Kenpo. Even today, its influence is evident in mixed martial arts (MMA), with techniques frequently showcased in events like the UFC. In Japan alone, there are over 200 distinct Jujitsu schools, reflecting its enduring legacy. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is one example of a distinct school focusing primarly on the ground. At our school, we teach self defense from the top down.
