Jiujitsu Boulder CO
Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, also spelled “jujutsu,” “jujitsu” or “jiu jitsu,” is a martial art developed in feudal Japan by samurai for close-quarters combat, focusing on defeating an armed or unarmed opponent using minimal force.
The term “jiu” (gentle or yielding) and “jutsu” (art or technique) highlights its core principle of efficiently redirecting an opponent’s strength and momentum, rather than relying on brute force, blending precision and strategy for powerful self-defense.
