Zen Do Ju-Jitsu
Zen Do Ju-Jitsu is a Japanese based form of Ju-Jitsu with roots based in the Danzen Ryu Ju-Jitsu system. So what's the difference between Japanese Ju-Jitsu vs. Brazilian Ju-Jitsu? The difference between Japanese and Brazilian Ju-Jitsu is quiet simple. Brazilian styles of Ju-Jitsu tend to be heavily focused on ground techniques "grappling" compared to an over all training of standing and ground techniques. Neither one is better than the other just a difference in technical focus. Zen Do's Japanese style of Ju-Jitsu is broken down into three equally trained aspects of Ju-Jitsu. Karate / Kenpo "punching & kicking", Judo "throwing & ground fighting or grappling ", and Yawara / Aikido "joint locks and manipulation". With this approach Zen Do Ju-Jitsu is an effective "self defense" form of martial art for men, women, and children of all ages.

These virtues are practiced and respected in martial art schools today, as well as at the Zen Do School of Ju-Jitsu.
