The Gentle Art
Traditional ju-jitsu, kobudo and bartitsu.
Jujitsu is a Japanese martial art developed for defeating an armed or unarmed opponent.
"JÅ«" can be translated to mean "gentle, soft, supple, flexible, pliable, or yielding." "Jutsu" can be translated to mean "art" or "technique" and represents manipulating the opponent's force against them rather than confronting it with one's own force. Practitioners learn methods for neutralising an enemy through pins, joint locks, and throws.
