Nihon jaia
Jūjutsu Demonstration
Jūjutsu (柔 术 "art of softness") is a Japanese martial art that encompasses a wide variety of combat systems based on the defense "without arms" of one or both armed and unarmed assailants. The basic techniques mainly include joint dislocations, and blows, dodges, thrusts, projections, takedowns, and strangulations. These techniques are originated from the methods of battle of the bushi (classic Japanese warriors), to deal with other warriors in armor, (hence the emphasis on attacking with locks, throws and chokes) and have been developed over nearly two millennia.
