Jujutsu is the art of suppleness, flexibility, and gentleness. Jujutsu techniques include kicks, strikes, and weapons, but the main emphasis is: throwing, choking, joint locking, and other submission techniques. Jujutsu provides effective self-defense in very close situations - being grabbed, pinned to the ground, pushed, or otherwise restrained. Although Jujutsu techniques are initially learned individually, in a static position, the essence of Jujutsu is the ability to move from one technique to another as quickly and as often as necessary to control the attacker. The proper use of technique and your opponent’s motions enable you to defeat a stronger attacker.

The more modern forms of Jujutsu that include defense from gun, knife and club attacks are considered Goshin-Jutsu arts, and this is our initial program of study.
