What Is Jiu Jitsu?
What Is Jiu Jitsu? It is a Japanese form of martial art styles which consists of grappling and striking techniques. History shows that this was first introduced before 750 AD and this reached its peak when Japan was united in the early 1600’s. The reason why Jiu Jitsu flourished was because no one was allowed to carry weapons anymore. This meant that the only way to protect yourself was through hand to hand combat which even someone smaller can do to win over a bigger and heavier opponent. In the years that followed, this martial art was taught to both the police and the army. Jiu Jitsu is sometimes spelled as jujitsu. Regardless of how you spell it, in English means the practice of gentleness. This can only be achieved with proper timing and leverage so you are able to grab hold to your opponent and then execute a few strikes so this person is no longer a threat. Aside from learning how to defend yourself, it changes you as a person since you become more calm and focused. Studen
