Origins and history
|
|
|
The origins of Ju-Jitsu can be traced as far back as 712 CE in the ancient chronicles of Japan, and it was widely practiced by the Samurai warriors. The noble Samurai followed a strict code of discipline known as Bushido – the “way of the warrior.” This code upheld the very desirable qualities of loyalty, sense of duty, obedience, honour and respect, and it governed their daily lives as well as serving to reinforce their tenacious and resolute fighting spirit in battle.
The classical art of Ju-Jitsu is still alive and well today, perpetuated by a small number of enthusiastic practitioners who wish to keep alive the Samurai spirit and traditional values of the deadly fighting techniques of Ju-Jitsu. Not for them competition born out of the sporting arena – their only goal is the continuation of the mental, spirtual and physical purity of their chosen art.
The Ju-Jitsu practiced by the Samurai focused primarily on annihilating the enemy, which subsequently led to the development of many dangerous and fatal techniques that are, understandably, of great interest to modern-day special forces and specialized security agencies. Modern Ju-Jitsu practiced as a study of self-defense, although being a highly effective and practical hands-on system, concentrates on defeating an opponent using minimal force together with specially developed arrest and restraint techniques.
