- The original mixed martial arts
Jigero Kano founded the art of Karno Jiu Jitsu (early Judo). The style incorporates the best techniques form a variety of Jiu Jitsu schools of the time with the philosophy of mutual welfare and personal development.
Modern Judo has evolved into a grappling sport. Our style of Kano Jiu Jitsu had maintained the original teachings while also incorporating influences form other arts. The wide range of techniques include striking, locking, grappling and ground-work, knife and short stick.
Jiu (or Ju) means yielding, flowing (soft), applying your own energy to the attacking energy to perform the technique (ju-no-sen). This is in contrast to other martial arts whose dynamic opposes or attacks the opponents energy (go-no-sen). Although both are applicable to our style, Ju is generally more emphasised.
