Japanese Jujutsu is a traditional martial art that focuses on using an opponent's energy and movements against them. It emphasizes techniques such as joint locks, throws, and grappling, allowing a smaller or weaker person to defend themselves effectively. Jujutsu originated in the samurai class during the Edo period and was developed for self-defense in unarmed combat situations. The art of Jujutsu has influenced many modern martial arts, including Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Practitioners train to improve their physical skills, mental discipline, and self-awareness. Today, Jujutsu is practiced worldwide, both as a means of self-defense and as a competitive sport.
