Ju Jitsu
‘Jiu (or Ju) Jitsu’ means ‘Compliant Techniques’. The ancient noble warriors of Japan were experts in weaponry. On occasion, it was necessary to capture rather than kill an enemy and so the martial arts were expanded to include an unarmed form of combat.
Since the warrior wore armour, striking techniques were not suitable so moves were developed which attacked the joints in that armour. These were probably influences by Chinese wrestling methods. By the nineteenth century, the unarmed system was recognised in its own right and named ‘Jiu Jitsu’.
A large number of Jiu Jitsu clubs within NAKMAS are currently represented.
