History
The art of Ju Jutsu originally hales from Japan and can be traced back to approximately 600BC. The art was truly established in Feudal Japan as a method of unarmed combat.
Modern Ju Jitsu is a very different art compared to the traditional Japanese Schools ("ryu") that teach Ju Jitsu alongside with the use of the sword, spear and other weapons. These are referred too as "Koryu", or traditional arts
