Let go fear, learn Japanese Jujutsu

As I told in the first post, my life, without Japanese Jujutsu, doesn't have been easy. I remember that I allways had fear, and walk on the street was painful.
I've learned some martial arts like Karate and BJJ (Brazilian JuJitsu), etc... in several martial arts center but I never feel that they were really effective for me. Just to give you a simple Idea of how I feel:

Karate - Just kicks and punches, and when I start to think in real fight (If the oponent comes at a close range and grabs me, I have no training to beat him. Karate is also sports focused, so it's based on competition rules rather then real street fight self defense.

Judo - The next logic step was solve my problems in close range. So I've started training Judo. God step I thought. WRONG. As Karate, Judo is all about sports so the RULES kills the effectiveness.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)- If Judo is an Olympic competition, BJJ doesn't have this problem, and in fact this is true, but the problem was that all the punches an kicks were forgotten. No wish to be all the time in the ground!

I've tried also Mixed Martial Arts and i didn't like. The turning point was with Krav Maga, wich is an Israeli Self Defense Martial Art, the school wasn't so good (now i know the problem) because the instructor uses strength instead of technic. If you are a large guy you can apply only strength. If you are a small guy like me, you need a lot of skill! If you like Krav Maga, there is a good self defense course. Click here if you want to learn Krav Maga.

In my quest to the right martial art, I've discovered that all of these martial arts had a root martial art. The father off all this is Jujutu. So I've discovered Japanese Jujitsu (JuJutsu). This changed my life, and it surely can change yours!

After I read the first book (see first post), I've buyed one DVD: Small-Circle Jujitsu Vol 1: Foundations by Wally Jay. I've discovered one type of JuJutsu. Really good stuff. I start learning, and a few weeks later i've entered to a nice JuJutsu school.
I've learned that there are multiple disciplines like Iaido and KenJutsu, and several styles (schools) of jujutsu. My favorite is without any dough Dayto Ryu AikiJujutsu and I'm learning all of them. I'm adicted to aikijujutsu and I think this discipline change my live forever. Click here if you want to change your life too! Of course all jujutsu is amazing, but I've started later with aikijujutsu and I have some confrontations in witch I've used aikijujutsu moves mixed with more linear jujutsu moves. Guess what happened? I've beat them all.

For me, JuJutsu is effective because it worked on every situations that I've been exposed to. However it's your call to decide if this is your martial art. I left here some videos of JuJutsu (note that this is also known as Japanese JuJitsu or Japanese JiuJitsu) demonstrations:

JuJitsu technics- The first video is about a competition in Europe. That don't demonstrate real fights, but the perfect interpretation of original Japanese technics:

Quantum Jujitsu demo- Quality jujitsu moves in the dojo reallity. Good school!~

If you do a quick search on Youtube, you can see a lot more about jujutsu.

Hi, in my life I've had some troubles with fights. Not because I'm a "trouble-maker" but, because I wasn't a strong person, some stupid guys abused from this fact! Well, this have changed, and I decide to create this site to share with you what I've done to solve my problems. I have to confess to you, that I've trained several martial arts such as, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (aka BJJ), Mixed Martial Arts, Karate, Krav Maga, and Judo, but realy none of them were or works for me.

I've search a lot on the internet about martial arts, but one book caught my attention: Jujitsu: Basic Techniques of the Gentle Art. Click here to see the reviews at Amazon.
Of course we can't learn Ju-Jutsu by a book, however you can see the principles and decide if this effective martial art is for you.
