what is ju jitsu?
ju
jitsu is self-defence, not a sport (but see below). if you take it up,
you'll learn how to defend yourself against single or multiple
attackers by blocking punches, kicks & knife attacks, escaping from
strangles & chokes and other holds, hitting back with accurate
& effective punches, kicks, 'chops', etc., throwing attackers by
various means, applying locks to arms, legs, etc., restraining
attackers from making further attacks, using pressure and nerve points
to subdue them, using a kubotan and improvised weapons. ju jitsu is the
oldest japanese martial art, from which others such as aikido, kendo
etc. and some forms of karate are derived.
