Jiu Jitsu is an unarmed form of combat first used by the samurai warriors of ancient Japan. It’s an all-round martial art that uses striking, blocking, grappling, locking, throwing submission and weapons techniques. Jiu Jitsu is used by police and armed forces around the world and for street self defence. Jiu jitsu has an emphasis on technique over power and strength by using the opponent’s force against themselves. The trained jiu jitsuka (student of jiu jitsu) is able to subdue their unwitting opponent quickly using only the minimal physical effort required.This book is not intended to be a ‘how to’ manual for learning jiu jitsu, there are plenty of those books already available which can be an invaluable addition to your training.This book picks up on all those areas of jiu jitsu that can be learned and researched ‘off the mat’ (tatami) and outside the dojo (the training centre). Being proficient at the techniques of jiu jitsu is a great skill. To truly progress the student must train both the mental and the physical sides of the art, training with as much realism as can be safely allowed.Some chapters of this book will help those potential students unsure of whether jiu jitsu is for them to make a more informed decision. This book will also be of great use to those looking to achieve higher grades in jiu jitsu, to expand their knowledge, educate themselves on the wider concepts and hopefully spark off an interest in research that will lead them deeper into their own development and search for self improvement.For those students earning (or aspiring to) the ‘Black Belt’ you are now the custodian of all those that have gone before and passed down their knowledge. There is a responsibility to understand and appreciate where this knowledge has come from and to hopefully pass on (to give) more than you have taken therefore keeping the art alive and applicable to modern times whilst having respect and awareness of more than just the physical application and excellence.
