What is Jujitsu?

Danzan Ryu Jujitsu is an effective system of self-defense that incorporates physical and mental training within a philosophy of ethical and moral development. The training begins with basic stretching and strengthening exercises, followed by students learning rolls and falls to allow them to fall safely. The techniques of the system are arranged into eleven lists which teach the basics of balance, leverage, and inertia. The first five lists are taught below black belt level: Yawara (basic holds and escapes), Nage No Kata (basic throwing arts), Shime No Kata (grappling arts), Oku No Kata (advanced combination arts) and Goshin Jitsu (self-defense arts). The remaining six lists include advanced combination techniques; defenses against gun, knife, staff and sword; demonstration arts; iron fan and yawara stick arts; kicks; strikes; and a system of resuscitation and restorative massage techniques.
