Jujitsu and Judo: the real story

すみませんみんあさん！


OK, so in class the other day, I guess no one knew what jujitsu was....So I am going to educate here:


Jujitsu is a classical japanese martial art centered on manipulating the opponent's force against himself rather than confronting it with one's own force. Jujitsu is a method of close combat for defeating an armed and armored opponent in which one uses no weapon, or only a short weapon. Even though its origins are impossible to trace, elements of the art can be traced back more then 2500 years.


During the Heian Period (784 AD), Ju-Jitsu was incorporated into the Samurai Warrior's training so that he could defend himself against an armed attacker in the event he lost his sword.   In 880 AD the first Ju-Jitsu Ryu was formed by Prince Teijun.


One of the first Ryu that used Ju-Jitsu as a primary art was founded in 1532 by Takenouche Hisamori.


In 1882 Jigaro Kano developed the art of Judo using Ju-Jitsu as the model. Jujitsu is the father of Judo, which is a modernized sport version of this classical Japanese martial art
