About this product

Product Information

Ju-Jitsu - the gentle art - is the latest martial art to be added to The Complete Course Series from Guinness. As an ancient form of self-defence, Ju-Jitsu is often regarded as the forefather of most other martial arts and, as it offers more diverse techniques than other martial art, it is often turned to by practitioners of other disciplines like Judo and Aikido to help improve their skills. With an estimated 100,000 practitioners in the UK alone it is approximately twice as popular as more recently introduced martial arts such as Taekwondo. Furthermore, it is an art that is open to everyone, as a person's size, strength, weight and (within reason) age are no restriction to participation. In addition, the sport has gained considerable strength and prestige recently following the formation of a single governing body which is now recognised by the Sports Council. With extensive use of step-by-step black and white photographs, author John Goldman takes the reader from novice to competition level. The book also includes the author's own exercise and warm-up programme designed specifically for Ju-Jitsu but suitable for all martial arts practitioners. John Goldman is a 5th Dan Black Belt and runs his own martial arts academy. He has already written three books for Guinness including the Judo and Taekwondo titles in this series.

  • Not complete

    You cannot fit a complete course of Ju-jitsu into one book, but for anyone starting on their Ju-jitsu journey it's a good read.
