What is
Coju-Jitsu?
 Ju-Jitsu loosely translated means
"science of softness" or "gentle art" and is applied to
many schools of unarmed and hand-to-hand combat. The
soft grappling style was intended to help unarmed
soldiers to fight against armed enemies in any way
possible, using the least amount of force necessary.
Ju-Jitsu was the primary unarmed combat method of the
Samurai. Aikido and Judo are both modern day descendents
of Ju-Jitsu. Several techniques used are similar to
Karate, Aikido and Judo.
 Coju-Jitsu translates as "Ancient
Ju-jitsu." Coju-jitsu developed out of both the
Samurai and Yamabushi traditions. Coju-jitsu
emphasizes turning an attacker's own force against him
or herself, putting them off balance. Coju-Jitsu also
emphasizes certain grappling moves and strikes and kicks
to vital areas. A Coju-Jitsu student is expected to
learn how to gauge the force of an opponent's attack and
use it against him, evade attacks, use leverage against
an opponent and how to attack nerves and pressure points
and defend themselves both standing and on the ground.
The main goal in Coju-Jitsu practice is to cultivate a
person's mind, body and spirit: not to use it as a means
to vent one's anger, frustration or emotional problems.
The use of force is condoned only in self-defense or in
the defense of those who are defenseless.
