Jiu
Jitsu Today - Martial Arts
Jiu
Jitsu is a Eastern
martial art including basically weaponless methods, but also the use of
some weapons. Specifically, it teaches unarmed techniques of combating
an opponent who is armed. Like many martial arts, many different forms
and styles of jiu-jitsu have evolved over the centuries.
Jiu
Jitsu developed among the samurai of feudal Japan for use in combat
against other samurai. As samurai were usually completely armored,
punches and kicks were not terribly effective. Hence , jiu-jitsu
stressed immobilizing an enemy quickly and permanently using holds,
pins, and throws. The concept was to use an enemy samurai's energy
against him, rather than directly opposing it.

Jiu
Jitsu, literally
translated as "the art of softness" or "way of yielding", is a "soft"
martial art style. "Soft" styles, like jiu-jitsu, like yielding to an
opponent's force, using balance and leverage to turn an assailant's
momentum against themselves, instead of opposing force with force.
"Hard" martial styles ( like Karate
and Kung Fu ), by
contrast, favor forceful, direct attacks requiring power, speed, and
strength.
Different kung fu skills stress differing sorts of combat. Judo, as an
example, stresses wrestling, and Tae
Kwon Do stresses kicking. In jiu-jitsu, it stresses grappling.

"Grappling",
though
similar to wrestling, is subtly different. Grappling systems include
joint-locks ( see later ), holds, trapping, pinning, throwing, gouging,
biting, choking, and strangling.
Not only does it prevent an
opponent from using that limb against you, but it causes them agony the
more they struggle encouraging them to give up. Yank police are taught
to use joint locks to immobilize assertive criminals.

Why
Should I Learn Jiu Jitsu?
Jiu
Jitsu is a good self-defense martial art to learn for many reasons.
Second, you find out how to immobilize an attacker without necessarily
hurting them. Third, it teaches as escalation of force.
First,
re self-defense from a mugger or rapist, the longer you stay to battle,
the bigger the chance that the attacker will overwhelm you (especially
since criminal tends to travel in packs, or at least pairs ).
Therefore, the smartest thing to do is to escape and get to a well-lit
public area. In jiu-jitsu, you are taught a way to escape from such
grips and get away.
Second, if the only fighting you know how to
do involves hurting somebody quickly and terribly, you might get in
giant difficulty. In bar fights, or if a mugger attacks you, if you
seriously injure them or kill them, you may pretty much certainly face
a lawsuit. Having the ability to escape, immobilize, or subdue an
opponent without causing them significant harm neatly avoids this
problem.
Escalation of force fundamentally means only using the minimum
necessary force to triumph over an opponent.

Obviously,
both
issues have to be dealt with. Jiu Jitsu, by teaching a way to
immobilize an opponent with holds, joint-locks, and pins, allows you to
do both. You can pin Cousin Eddie until he calms down whilst causing
him tiny, if any, harm. On the other hand, if you want to, you can
disarm the mugger and throw them to the ground dazed.
