JUJITSU
At Clear Lake Martial Arts we pride ourselves in teaching the Shinto Yoshin Ryu System of Jujitsu a component of Wado Ryu Karate. 

​​
Ju-Jitsu loosely translated means "the gentle art" and is applied to many schools of unarmed and hand-to-hand combat. The soft grappling style was intended to help unarmed Samurai defend themselves as a last resort if they lost their bladed weapons in combat. 

Ju-Jitsu emphasizes turning an attacker's own force against him or herself, putting them off balance.  A Ju-Jitsu student is expected to learn how to gauge the force of an opponent's attack, evade attacks, use leverage against an opponent, and how to attack nerves and pressure points.

The main goal in Ju-Jitsu practice is to cultivate a person's mind and body: not to use it as a means to vent one's anger, frustration, or emotional problems. The use of force is condoned only in self-defense or in the defense of those who are defenseless.

​One of the many factors that separates Clear Lake Martial Arts from other schools is the exclusive focus on the application of realistic martial arts skills for practical no nonsense self-defense. Unfortunately, many schools now focus entirely or almost entirely on martial arts as a competitive sport - moving away from the original purpose of authentic martial arts...self-defense!
