Ju Jitsu teaches the same martial virtues of discipline, tradition, honour, respect and humility that can be found in the Samurai code of conduct. There is also an element of mental or spiritual training - Ju Jitsu aims to provide its students with a clear and focused mind and a tranquil and unified spirit.

The ultimate aim is to overcome your most powerful adversary - the one person who can stop you from reaching your maximum potential - your own self doubt.

The principles of Ju Jitsu are based on moving to avoid an attack while breaking the concentration and balance of an opponent and then restraining them. This is achieved using a combination of punches, kicks and strikes for long range, short strikes, grappling and throws for close range, finishing with joint locks and submission holds.
