JuJutsu
and Karate
Jujutsu means: Gentle
Art
SYBCG -
Jujutsu is a descendant of the classical Jujutsu.
The physical and mental principles of fighting learned from the
feudal warriors are still valid today. But the final outcome between
the two periods is different. The samurai warrior concentrated on
killing his enemy, whereas the modern practitioner concentrates on
doing whatever is reasonable to his enemy to avoid physical harm.
Classical
Jujutsu is the parent art of Aikido, Judo and some styles of Empty
hand or Karate. Some of the principles and training methods
underlying the techniques that are propagated by these martial arts
have proven useful to SYBCG when put into the
perspective of self-protection.
SYBCG
Jujutsu directly descends from O-Sensei M. Ueshiba, the
founder of Aikido, to Shinan Antonio Pereira, founder of Miyama Ryu
JuJutsu, to Shinan Hector Negron, the creator of the San Yama Bushi
JuJutsu School of Self Defense. Shihan Pereira also trained extensively in Judo
and in Sosuishitsu ryu jujutsu.
