What Is JuJutsu ?
The History of Japanese Jujutsu and Its Evolution
Japanese Jujutsu has ancient roots dating back to the samurai era of feudal Japan, when warriors required effective unarmed combat methods to complement their weapons training. During the Sengoku period (1467–1615), various schools formalized techniques such as strikes, throws, joint locks, and ground fighting designed for armored combat. In the peaceful Tokugawa period (1603–1868), Jujutsu shifted from battlefield use to include restraint methods for law enforcement and civilian self-defense. Although the Meiji Restoration of 1868 brought rapid modernization to Japan, Jujutsu survived by adapting to the changing needs of society. This spirit of adaptation continues today, and ShinKenDo JuJutsu represents a natural progression of this centuries-old martial art, evolving to address modern assaults and self-defense situations that differ greatly from historical threats.
What Is ShinKenDo JuJutsu?
ShinKenDo JuJutsu is a practical modern system of Japanese self-defense that emphasizes realistic, straightforward techniques designed for real-world situations rather than sport. The art focuses on speed, precision, and targeting vulnerable areas of the body, making it especially effective for practitioners of all sizes and strengths and particularly appealing to women. Techniques include low kicks, elbow and knee strikes, open-hand strikes, and efficient methods for dealing with multiple attackers and weapon threats while maintaining mobility. Although some ground techniques are taught, the primary emphasis remains on staying upright. By prioritizing real-world self-defense over competition, ShinKenDo JuJutsu continues the evolutionary tradition of Japanese Jujutsu, ensuring practitioners are well prepared to protect themselves in modern, dynamic situations.
