JuJutsu
|
JuJutsu is one of the most frequently misspelled words in martial arts. You may have seen it as "Jiu", "Jui" or even "Jiuy", and Jutsu is regularly seen as "Jitsu".
This is quite simply because of difficulty translating Japanese into English in the turn of the 20th century. Many people tried to translate JuJutsu and created their own variation of what they believed to be the correct spelling, which continued to be passed down through the generations. The most common spellings of this were "jiu Jitsu" or "JuJitsu". As a better understanding of the translation of Japanese words was developed through better communication, it was established that the correct spelling was in fact JuJutsu. |

Each word in Japanese has several possible translations into the English language, but most of the time these words have a similar meaning and a general translation can be obtained.
"Ju" means gentle, pliable, flexible etc. "Jutsu" means art, technique or science. As a result of this, JuJutsu is often referred to as "The Gentle Art". |

As well as Ju Jutsu being spelt different ways, there are actually different styles that have derived from the original Ju Jutsu syllabus. > Brazilian Jiu Jitsu < (BJJ) focuses mainly on ground techniques, > Aikido < uses softer techniques to control your opponent which is particularly suited to smaller people who don't have strength to their advantage, > Judo < uses more throwing techniques to subdue their attackers, and > Hapkido < utilises hand and foot strikes alongside joint locks and throws. Most of these styles can be traced back to > Daitō Ryū Aiki-Jūjutsu <.

Founded in late 2016 in St austell; Cornwall, Flying Dragon Martial Arts Club (Hiryu Budou-Jyo) wanted to incorporate several different arts into their school to allow for a smooth blend of each style to create a divergent defence system for all scenarios and eventualities.
In our system, Ju Jutsu is added to existing techniques from other styles to create effective take downs and pins to finish of the technique and subdue the attacker. The students also learn traditional pins and throws from the Ju Jutsu syllabus to use in their own techniques. Most importantly, our students learn effective break falls for every scenario to be able to land correctly when being thrown not only in training but also in a real life scenario which is particularly important for our smaller students who are more likely to be thrown than the larger students. |
