World Ju Jitsu Kobudo Organization
Ju
Jitsu – “The Art of Compliance”
Ju Jitsu is a
Japanese expression that means “art of Compliance“
This unusual
word is born from the fact that inside the classical techniques of ju jitsu
instead of rejecting the opponent, contrasting your own strength against his,
you conform yourself to him attracting
him towards you. That means that for winning him you don’t have to rely on a
superior power. Inside ju jitsu throws and kicks are used to divert the opponent,
pushes are necessary to make him lose his balance, blocks to mobilize him, and
grips to keep him under control taking advantage of the system of the levers to
the joints. Ju jitsu teaches the counter-movements to the various attack
techniques, so that it offers efficacious ways to parry punches and kicks, and
avoids to be thrown and escape from the grips of the opponent.
Ju jitsu
origins go back to the mists of time and, although there are no traces
well-defined of its evolution, we can basically find applications of it in all
the Japanese martial arts.
Ju jitsu is
connected only to the Japanese martial arts. We know, for instance, that some ju
jitsu techniques come from China: like history teaches, the boxer Chin Gempin of
the Shaolin of South taught the Kung Fu techniques to the Japanese warriors.
Some of the attack techniques trained were what then was called KEMPO
and still nowadays, this word is always connected to the ju jitsu
practice.
Though it has
so ancient origins, ju jitsu keeps on living and developing during our times, it
has adapted itself to the new exigencies facing tests always new with the times
and society changing.
Ju jitsu
taught within the WJJKO finds foundation in the whole martial world: from the
use of classical weapons to the modern and efficacious systems of self defence.
So, if your interested in an ancient art or rather in something that is suitable
at the present days, ju jitsu can meet your exigencies.
Any other
martial art offers such a large range of techniques and applications.
Anyway, the way towards perfection inside ju jitsu is
long, difficult and it needs a remarkable effort, both of the body and of the
mind, from the student. Through the training it is possible to reach a good
physical preparation, but the mental one is more difficult to develop.
