Curriculum

The fundamental principle of Ju-Taijutsu is reflected in the translation of the term itself. “Tai ” refers to the body; “Jutsu” refers to methods or techniques implementing the body; “Ju” refers to yielding, blending or even gentleness; in context, “Ju-Taijutsu” (柔術) becomes the art of yielding for the purpose of utilizing the body in a close quarter condition for the purpose of self-defense, or “to conquer by yielding.” Individual Ju-Taijutsu techniques involve a most comprehensive science of shifting with the momentum of an attack in order to draw the opponent off balance and throwing/subdue him.

Ju-Taijutsu enjoys a vast array of techniques such as: blocking and deflections (Uke), striking techniques (Atemi Waza): punching (Tsuki) and kicking (Keri), break falls (Ukemi), grappling (Katame Waza), joint locking skills, arresting, breaks and dislocations (Kansetsu Waza), strangles and choking (Shime Waza), holds and pinning (Osae Waza), throws (Nage Waza), counters (Kaeshi Waza), combinations (Kumiawase Waza), and pressure points (Kyusho Waza).
