Overview of Jujitsu / Jujutsu

Within Japan, jujitsu is the largest traditional soft style martial art today. Jujitsu uses principles of countering an attack by using the opponent's strength against himself. Striking techniques (atemiwaza) based on pressure points, are used along with joint manipulations and throws to subdue and control an opponent. The fundamentals of jujutsu are very simple to learn and truly is a martial art for all ages. On the other hand, the advanced methods of jujutsu take years of dedicated study. Kamishin Ryu is heavily jujutsu (grappling) oriented. Kamishinryu's teachings are jujutsu in nature and consist of a cohesive blend of Japanese based martial arts. The art emphasize's the control, joint locking, chocking, throws and fluidity of jujutsu with effective atemiwaza. Nippon Kobudo Kamishinryu was founded in the Kanagawa prefecture of Japan by Albert C. Church with sponsorship by Shogo Kuniba, Head Family, 3rd lineage generation successor of Motobu-ha Shitoryu.
