Styles and Programs - Jujitsu

(ju means gentle; jitsu means art) The gentle art.

An art of weaponless self-defense developed in Japan that uses throws, holds, and blows and derives added power from the attacker's own weight and strength.

Jujutsu literally meaning the "art of softness", or "way of yielding" is a collective name for Japanese martial art styles including unarmed and armed techniques. 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.

At NAAMA:

At NAAMA Jujitsu is taught only to our Black Belt Club members and is intended to supplement our Karate program. Fights tend to go to the ground and a fighter needs skills both from standing and ground position. These programs provide the striking and grappling skills for fighting from either position.
