At NOVA Budoshin Jujitsu at Cub Run RecCenter we teach a modern Japanese Jujitsu curriculum. Jujitsu is well rounded art and diverse art which incorporates all the various aspects of close unarmed and lightly armed combat. It is often referred to as a gentile or yielding art, this often leads people unfamiliar it to mistakenly believe it is less effective for self defense than the harder styles. The truth is yielding in Jujitsu really means redirecting the attacker's energy away from us and into a technique that delivers results appropriate to the situation. Jujitsu is the parent art to Judo, Sambo, and Aikido; its effectiveness is reflected in these art's techniques. Consider this, when you match force against force, usually the superior force wins; this is acceptable when you are healthy, young, and strong. But we all age, get injured, and must accept that there are others out there who are bigger and stronger than us. Jujitsu evens the odds; it offers us a means to defend ourselves and loved ones that does not rely on possessing the superior force. Jujitsu is an adaptive art. As we age we begin to realize that the world is not black and white; equally not every situation requires a devastating and debilitating response that physically injures the attacker. Self defense is situational, it is not always appropriate to hit, kick, pepper spray, or shoot an aggressor. Jujitsu provides the defender with the tools to appropriately respond to and deal with the situation. To be sure, Jujitsu techniques can quickly, effectively, and severely disable an attacker or a group of attackers. But apply those techniques in a slightly different manner and they become equally effective de-escalation techniques (such as submissions, joint locks, pins, pain compliance techniques, chokes, and arrest techniques) that inflict the minimum physical damage necessary on the aggressor. Our focus is geared toward the development of the individual aged 13 and up. Students gain confidence and a positive attitude as their physical abilities develop. The mind/body connection developed carries over and enhances other aspects of their lives. Fear dissipates as they realize they have the tools to meet life's challenges.
