“Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practices, which are practiced for a variety of reasons: self-defense, competition, physical health and fitness, entertainment, as well as mental, physical, and spiritual development.”

Ju-Jitsu today is based on unarmed self-defence. The Art of using the traditional Japanese weapons is still practiced today, and is still considered to be beneficial to the skills base of the Ju Jitsu exponent. However, Ju-Jitsu is geared more towards the street situations in the local towns and cites of today’s world. Situations that might be met on the violent streets of today might include; muggers, robbers, rapists, or simply thugs who consider perpetrating violence upon others as fun! Ju-Jitsu shows you how to use your body to defend yourself against attackers, with minimal effort and maximum effect. Strength need not be the prime consideration, as utilising locking techniques and knowing where and how to strike, will enable the student to act, and win. The self-confidence that comes with being ready, willing and able to protect yourself, becomes self evident to others, and the attacker is likely to seek out an easier target.
