JIU-JITSU

Jiu Jitsu is a technical form of self defense. The techniques are divided into three main categories: the nage waza or the throwing techniques, the katame waza or the grabbing techniques and the atemi waza or the hit- and kicking techniques.

The beauty of Jiu Jitsu is that the practitioners don’t just master one of the techniques. They can combine the kicks and punches of Karate with the grab- and ground techniques from Judo. Jiu Jitsu is carefully developed to ensure that every possible technique can be used efficiently.

Later on, multiple other martial arts have developed from a Jiu Jitsu base, like for example Aikido.

The Jiu Jitsu Fighting system has been introduced at a much later time, as part of the competition based Jiu Jitsu. In this particular system, fighters will wear the Jiu Jitsu suit, hand protectors, shin guards and a mouth guard.
