Ju Jitsu Ju Jitsu is formed
from two ideograms Ju the various meanings of which are suppleness,
flexibility, pliancy, gentleness and Jitsu meaning technique or art.
So Ju Jitsu means the art of suppleness or flexibility. As most Ju
Jitsuka (a student of Ju Jitsu) know there is nothing "gentle" about
the martial art. What Ju is conveying is that Ju Jitsu does not use
strength against strength, it uses the opponents strength and force
of attack as a weapon against him, thus enabling a stronger or
bigger attacker to be subdued. Ju Jitsu is one of the most complete
martial arts there is. It incorporates unarmed strikes, joint locks,
chokes and throws.
