Jonathan Cussin, 2020. — 170 p. — ASIN B01KZHLKBA.Jiu-Jitsu is an unarmed form of combat first used by the samurai warriors of ancient Japan. It's an all-around martial art that uses striking, blocking, grappling, locking, throwing, ground, submission, and weapons techniques. The emphasis is on technique over power and strength by using the opponent's force against themselves.This book is not intended to be a ‘how to’ manual for learning jiu-jitsu, there are plenty of those books already available. Instead, this book picks up on all those areas of jiu-jitsu that can be learned and researched ‘off the mat’ and outside the dojo.For those students wanting to achieve higher grades in jiu-jitsu, this book will supplement their physical training with a wider theoretical knowledge.
