The ability to turn an attacker's own force against them
The term Jiu-Jitsu translates to "the science of softness" or "the gentle art" and is applied to many schools of unarmed and hand-to-hand combat. It was intended to help unarmed soldiers fight against armed enemies using the least amount of force necessary. Jiu-Jitsu was also the primary unarmed combat method of the Samurai. Modern-day Aikido, Judo, Brazilian Ju Jitsu, and MMA are all descendants of Jiu Jitsu.
In our Jiu-Jitsu classes, we emphasize the ability to turn an attacker's own force against them, using certain grappling moves and strikes to vital areas. Our students learn how to gauge the force of an opponent's attack and use it against them, evade attacks, use leverage against an opponent, and attack nerves and pressure points.
Size, strength, and flexibility are not the most important factors
in achieving proficiency in this art, since Jiu-Jitsu does not rely on brute force. Instead, the main goal in Jiu Jitsu practice is to cultivate a person's mind and body, not to use it as a means to vent anger, frustration, or emotional problems. We condone the use of force only in self-defense or in the defense of those who are defenseless.
