Origins of Classical Jujutsu

(Ju, gentle; Jutsu, art)

Which means the Gentle Art of self-defense, the Samurai warriors of feudal Japan were the inventors of the deadly fighting techniques of Classical Ju-jutsu. The Classical Ju-jutsu in its earliest forms were crude but effective throws, chokes, joint-locks, and strikes (kicks and punches) to vital points of the body. Classical Ju-jutsu is the parent art of Aikido, Judo and some styles of Karate.

Miyama-Ryu Combat Ju-jutsu is a direct descendant of Classical Ju-jutsu. The physical and mental principles of fighting learned from the feudal warriors are still valid today. But the final outcome between the two periods is different. The Samurai warrior concentrated on killing his enemy, whereas the modern practitioner concentrates on doing whatever is reasonable to his enemy to avoid physical harm.
