 What is JIU JITSU?
Jiu Jitsu, or the art of pliability, is a 1000 year old martial
art that utilizes skillful technique, leverage, off-balance and the knowledge of human
anatomy to overcome an attacker. The practitioner of Jiu Jitsu has a large array of
techniques available to him or her, including strikes, joint locks, throws, submission
holds, pins, and pressure points. Jiu Jitsu does not rely on brute strength but rather on
flexible response and the redirection of an attacker's force. The chosen school name
"Fudoshin Dojo" roughly translates into "The school of undefeatable
spirit". It is this spirit that we strive to cultivate through our practice of Jiu
Jitsu. An individual with strong spirit will have the discipline to build a powerful body,
the insight to create a sound mind, and the determination to succeed in life.
