Jujutsu

On a beach at Izumo, in Shimane Prefecture, in the year 23 B.C., before the Emperor Suinin, Nomi-no-Sukune killed his opponent Tajima-no-Keyaya in the first recorded contest. This was the beginning of Combat Sumo (Sumai), in which the origins of Jujutsu lie.

Jujutsu is a Combat Martial Art developed by the warrior class (Bushi) of Japan. It is a generic or collective term used to describe the numerous systems which, when fused, form Jujutsu. This factor in combat would lead to a complete loss of effectiveness.

Jujutsu is a Japanese Martial Art, although Chin Gempin (1587-1674) had some influence on it. Historical records clearly show that Jujutsu was being practiced long before he arrived in Japan. Jujutsu is a product of Japan.

Historically, Jujutsu is the singularly most important Japanese Martial Art Because of the Martial Ways of Aikido, Judo, Hapkido, Nippon Shorinji Kempo and some systems of Karate all have their roots in Jujutsu.
