gYAMATO YOSHIN RYU h is one of the new styles of JUJITSU.
We learn it in order to transfer the Japanese spirit and its traditional
culture into the present.
gJUDOh used to play the same role too, but became rather a sport of competition
recently.
gYAMATO YOSHIN RYU JUJITSUh is not a competitive sport but an art of self-defense.
In gYAMATO YOSHINRYU JUJITSUh, skills are learnt on how to hold down your
opponent by marking use of his/her power.
In this way, martial arts are used to defeat the opponent without injuring
them.
With these skills, even a small and weak person can defeat a big and strong
one.
Through training, weight loss, health, nimbleness, calmness, and mental
strength can be achieved.
When you get tough, it will be possible to make your trouble smaller.
That is why gYAMATO YOSHIN RYU JUJITSUh is useful and enjoyable for everybody:men
and women, young and old.
The definition of JUJITSU is basically to fight without having a weapon.
The thought of gYOSHIN RYU JUJITSUh is based on the property of willow
so that the name shows it.
(¦ YO means willow)
A willow (yourself) doesnft go against wind (your opponent).
Like this, in "YOSHIN RYU JUJITSU", you should abandon your power
depending on the motion of your opponent. In this way, you may win by making
effective use of your opponent's power.
gPower is not everything. The important thing is flexibilityh. That is
the universal thought of Japanese martial arts.
