What do they teach in ju jutsu ?

Question

I know they teach some grappling ,throws,locks and all but i sorta need some info about the weapons teaching part plz as in do they teach you how to defend or etc.

Answer 1

Although jujitsu does involve the study and use of traditional weapons, it is more commonly perceived as an un-armed defensive art, encompassing all the combat ranges, close-in, stand up and on the ground.

Jujitsu the gentle art... a traditional martial art employing kicks, strikes, throws, locks, strangles, chokes and ground work. Modern ju-jitsu also employs, well just about anything: including biting, scratching, pulling hair, head butting, heel stomping and grabbing any other sensitive parts of an attackers anatomy that may come to hand!

Weapons training may include: bokuto, tonfa, nunchaku, sai, bo and jo staff.

Answer 2

I get the thumbs down everytime I answer a question like this but at my dojo the instructor is a black belt in traditional japanese jujitsu yet he teaches only modern grappling techniques and stand up fighting. The students compete in all the grappling tournaments and do well. This I know is rare but that is what they teach at my school.

Answer 3

I was told by a Senior Ju Jutsu Pratitioner that the origin of Ju Jutsu... which was called Bu-Jutsu, was based on disarming swordsmen, or "sword taking".

It makes sense. Mostly all, or all of the hand grapples compromise the attackers grip if holding a weapon.

Answer 4

Basically grappling and locks- ground work.
Throws- maybe, but thats more of judo than jujitsu

Answer 5

they teach you unarmed combat, they unlike most martial arts are realistic about weapons, they know that most of those disarms are useless and messing with someone who is armed will get you seriously hurt or killed. what do they tell you to do?
carry a gun if you're worried and run away if you can.
