About the Product
Jujitsu has long been considered one of the best martial arts for
self-defense, and it is fast gaining popularity among all age and skill
levels. The name jujitsu means "to give way without giving up or giving
in," and Jujitsu Techniques & Tactics teaches how to better understand, practice, and use this skill to achieve physical and spiritual balance and growth.

benefits this martial art has to offer. The book starts with how to
select a jujitsu school, followed by an overview of the art’s evolution
through hundreds of years of Japanese history. Definitions of terms
commonly used in jujitsu follow, adding an important cross-cultural
dimension to the study of the art. Then a full array of techniques,
tactics, and drills are clearly presented through step-by-step
instruction and 143 accompanying photos. You will learn the correct way
to perform blocks, kicks, escapes and counters, throws, combinations,
and many more essential skills of the art. Technique Tips and
Self-Defense Tips are sprinkled throughout to help you fine-tune your
maneuvers and experience more success in your practice sessions. The
book also includes sections on conditioning, competing, weapon
defenses, and healing.
Jujitsu is about much more than just self-defense and fighting. It
involves the coordination of the mind and body and provides a sound
philosophy for learning how to live your life to the fullest. You will
