一 · About
About Goshinkan Ju-Jitsu
There are many different styles of Ju Jitsu (jiu-jitsu), each concentrating on a different aspect of the art. In its purest form, Ju Jitsu comprises kicks, punches, nerve-centre pressure-point control, holds, joint locks, throws, and grappling. Ju Jitsu is arguably the most well-rounded combat art for self-defense.
In Japanese, Ju Jitsu means "gentle (ju) art (jitsu)". The name refers not just to ju jitsu techniques, which are anything but "gentle", but rather to how you address a self-defense situation, including your state of being having reached a certain degree of proficiency.
Learning Ju Jitsu allows you to adapt your response to best suit a given situation.
Ju Jitsu was the hand-to-hand combat art of the Samurai, developed for use in close-quarters where it was not possible to wield a sword, and later when the Samurai were forbidden to carry swords in public.
Ju Jitsu is the parent art to many modern martial arts, such as Aikido, Karate, Judo, many others.
A skilled Ju Jitsu practitioner is capable of defeating armed and unarmed assailants with as much force as necessary to stop an attack and prevent further attack. Ju jitsu continues to be an art worthy of serious study.

二 · Lineage
Goshinkan-Ryu Ju-Jitsu®
In 1998, I founded Goshinkan-Ryu Ju-Jitsu®. What began as a vision for a practical and effective system has grown into dojos and students across Canada and beyond. I have had the privilege of developing instructors, promoting black belts, teaching seminars, supporting other martial arts organizations, and helping students of all ages discover their own strength and confidence.
