Jujutsu

What is Jujutsu?

Jujutsu, also spelled Jujitsu or Jiu-Jitsu, is a traditional Japanese martial art that focuses on using an opponent's energy and movements against them. It encompasses a variety of techniques, including joint locks, throws, strikes, and grappling. The art emphasizes flexibility, efficiency, and the ability to adapt to different situations, making it effective for self-defense.

Jujutsu has influenced many modern martial arts, such as Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Each of these arts has evolved from traditional Jujutsu, incorporating its principles while developing their own unique techniques and philosophies.

To base your self worth relative to others is to play a losing game. If you are at the bottom, you will be filled with self-loathing. If you are at the top, you will be filled with self-aggrandizement and ego. This will most certainly be one of your greatest obstacles to achieving whatever degree of mastery you are capable.
