Description
The martial art of jujitsu was developed in Japan hundreds of years ago to help practitioners combat heavily armored samurai without the use of weapons. The book explains how jujitsu emphasizes joint locks, throws, sweeps, and pins techniques that allow a smaller competitor to use leverage and momentum to take down a bigger opponent. Readers will also learn about the history of this martial art and how its principles can be applied in real-life situations.
