Jiujitsu
JUJITSU
(joo-jit-soo)
"the art of flexibility" or "the art of gentleness"
Chongshin Do incorporates Jujitsu.
Jujitsu techniques enable a student to restrain, lock and imobalise an attacker using forms of take downs and throwing techniques. It also includes ground work and grappling techniques.
Because Jujitsu (also commonly spelled "Jujutsu" or "Jiu-Jitsu") is one of the oldest styles of martial art still practiced, dating from the 12th century, more than 700 forms or schools of Jujitsu have existed over the years. Each of these forms has its own techniques that it emphasis's, has improved upon, or invented. Chongshin Do students will learn grappling, throws, joint locks, chokes, and holds. However, all forms of Jujitsu incorporate a fair amount of striking techniques as well and in Chongshin Do a student can use Kicks, punches, knees, and elbows (plus all the striking forms from Taekwon Do) to complement and pre-empt takedown and throwing techniques. A central concept to Jujitsu is the ability to change from one technique to another, and then another, as quickly and as many times as is necessary to defeat an attacker. Also key is the ability to use an attacker's force against him, allowing practitioners to defeat stronger enemies. Jujitsu is sort of a "grandfather" martial art in that so many of the arts developed in modern times use it as their primary source of techniques- Aikido, Judo, and to a lesser extent Hapkido, being foremost among these. Jujitsu is an excellent all-around martial art - complimenting the Aikido and Taekwon Do within Chongshin Do.
