What Is Japanese Jujitsu?


Japanese Jujitsu is a traditional martial art that focuses on simple, effective self-defense skills. Students learn how to escape grabs, control attackers, and use balance and leverage to stay safe. Unlike striking arts, Japanese Jujitsu avoids heavy punches or kicks, making it ideal for real-world situations and students of all ages.

Fitness and Self-Defense Benefits of Japanese Jujitsu

Each class helps you build functional strength, flexibility, and focus. You’ll practice balance, coordination, and simple techniques to control or escape from real-world situations. You’ll also gain a calmer mind, stress relief, and improved confidence in your daily life.

Japanese Jujitsu is especially valuable for women and beginners because it focuses on control and technique, not brute strength.

What to Expect in Class

Our 90-minute classes include:

  1. Warm-Up: Light movement drills and balance exercises.
  2. Technique Instruction: Learn escapes, holds, and simple takedowns.
  3. Partner Practice: Apply skills with step-by-step guidance.
  4. Controlled Scenarios: Practice realistic drills in a safe environment.

Students progress at their own pace, with no pressure to spar or compete. Safety and confidence come first.

Why Japanese Jujitsu Over Karate and Taekwondo?

While Karate and Taekwondo are striking arts, they often don’t address grabs, holds, or ground control. Japanese Jujitsu excels in these areas, teaching you how to neutralize threats without needing speed or strength.

Brief History of Japanese Jujitsu

Japanese Jujitsu dates back hundreds of years, used by samurai as a way to defend themselves when unarmed. Its techniques formed the basis for Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Today, we teach a modern, accessible version for self-defense, fitness, and confidence.
