The Japanese Katana is known as one of the deadliest edged weapons originating from Oriental cultures, perhaps through western movies and culture, but rightfully also through the hundreds of thousands who have died by its edge.
Welcome to Japanese Jujitsu .org - a website dedicated to the subject of Jujitsu and wider martial arts for instructors, students and anyone else interested in learning more.
Jujitsu, also known as Ju Jitsu, Ju Jutsu, or Jiu-Jitsu, originated in feudal Japan and was a perfect unarmed compliment to the armed combat of the Samurai. Jujitsu translates as 'the gentle way' or 'the way of compliance' but it is far from ineffective. Jujitsu techniques do not rely on strength; they rely on an understanding of the human body, physics and center of gravity to achieve devastating punches, kicks, locks and of course throws.
