We explore techniques, methods of training, the future of Jūjitsu, what makes Jūjitsu the world's most effective form of self-defense, and related aspects of MMA, BJJ, TaihoJutsu (Japanese Police Self-Defense), Iaidō (Classical Sword), Ninjutsu and other martial arts, as well as Japanese language and culture.
