Jujitsu, also spelled “Jujutsu” or “Jiu-Jitsu,” is a traditional Japanese martial art celebrated for its focus on using an opponent’s energy and leverage to gain control and apply joint locks and submissions. It’s known for its effectiveness in self-defense situations. In Jujitsu, practitioners, known as “Jujitsuka,” learn a wide range of techniques, including throws, joint locks, and pins, that enable them to defend themselves effectively, even against larger and stronger opponents.
