| Jujitsu, as taught in C.A.C.: |
| Jujitsu has had something of a revival due to the success of the Gracie Jiujitsu in "No Holds Barred" events that started popping up around 1995, and deservedly so. Jujitsu has a very wide spectrum however, training in jujitsu can be anything from a social club in judo uniforms with some elements of lighter exercise, to furious grappling matches that are something of the most challenging physical workouts you could find. And anything in between. Most will probably come to jujitsu to learn self defense, but stay for the fun. In C.A.C. Jujitsu we try to cover what we feel are usable and practical techniques, and try to put our theories to practice in Randori, standing grappling, and newaza, ground grappling. As in any training in C.A.C, we aim to have fun, but also to some extent be physically challenging. Rather that extracting techniques from self defense applications, we use the teaching philosopy of teaching the principle of a technique before inserting it into a practical scenario. That way, we can use a number of throws, takedowns or counters to a given threat, instead of teaching a fixed technique to cover specific situations. There are pros and cons for both methods. Belt promotions are optional, you can train without going for a higher rank or belt, but most who train enjoy the challenge of reaching the next color. C.A.C. Jujitsu is unique for our club. Each level or belt has both techniques that you are required to demonstrate, as well as principles that are more for your information and understanding. You will not be required to demonstrate these, but you will get asked questions regarding the principles, their weak and strong points, and what to bear in mind during certain techniques. You will also do some randori and/or newaza, sparring done standing or on the ground for your belt test. Belt requirements: Yellow belt Orange belt Green belt Blue belt Purple belt Brown belt |
