“The gentle art” or ”The yielding art”

The martial art Jiu Jitsu comes from Japan and translates as “the gentle art” or “the yielding art”. This means that no uncontrolled force is used, but rather the principle of “winning by yielding”. The origin comes from the Japanese samurai, in order to be able to defend themselves without weapons. Jiu-Jitsu therefore offers a very wide range of self-defense techniques. It also trains the body and mind. This strengthens self-confidence and character. This makes it easier to assess difficult situations and de-escalate conflicts.

The aim of Jiu-Jitsu is to put attackers out of action as efficiently as possible. Regardless of whether the aggressor attacks with or without weapons. In defense, not only are movement techniques used to evade attacks, but also to counter them with various techniques. There are different groups of techniques:

   Locking techniques

   Striking techniques  
   Impact techniques  
   Transport techniques  
   Kicking techniques
