Beschreibung

Traditional Ju-Jitsu has a rich and varied history, dating back at least 700 years. Originally developed by the samurai, ju-jitsu has evolved into a complete, practical self-defence system ideally suited to the challenges of the modern world. From feudal Japan, to the British suffragettes and the Second World War, to police and militaries around the world, and to widespread modern-day practise by children and adults, ju-jitsu has stood the test of time and offers something for everyone. The holistic nature of ju-jitsu, combines strikes, throws, holds, blocks, locks, strangles, and weapons with scientific principles of movement, balance and leverage. This makes this unique and fascinating martial art a continually rewarding way to get fit, de-stress, learn self-defence, challenge yourself and realise your full potential.

• History and development of ju-jitsu
• Essential principles, concepts and benefits
