I Go Ryu Jiu Jitsu

Jiu Jitsu, is a collective name for Japanese martial art styles including unarmed and armed techniques, literally meaning the "art of softness". Jiu Jitsu or Ju Jutsu evolved from a self defense method or art among the samurai of feudal Japan as a fighting method for defeating an armed and armored opponent without weapons. Due to the ineffectiveness of striking against an armored opponent, the most efficient methods for neutralizing an enemy took the form of pins, joint locks, and throws. These techniques were developed around the principle of using an attacker's energy and force against him, rather than directly opposing it. Today a principle commonly used in most Martial Arts Systems. There are many variations of the art, which leads to a diversity of approaches. Jiu Jitsu schools (ry? = school in Japanese) may utilize all forms of grappling techniques to some degree (i.e. throwing, trapping, joint locks, holds, gouging, disengagements, striking, and kicking). In addition to unarmed combat, many schools teach also the use of weapons. Today, Jiu Jitsu is practiced in both centuries-old and modern sport forms. Derived sport forms include the Olympic sport and Martial Art of Judo, modern Ju Jutsu, Sambo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The modern Jiu Jitsu practitioner or competitor wears a Judo like uniform, the Dogi (or short Gi).

Mixed Martial Arts

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full contact combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques and skills, from a mixture of traditional and non-traditional martial arts, to be used in self defense and competitions. The rules allow the use of striking (ex. Thai/Kick-boxing) and grappling (ex. Wrestling, Jiu Jitsu) techniques, both while standing and on the ground. Besides the self-defense aspect, such competitions allow martial artists of different backgrounds to compete.

Muay Thai

Also known in the western world as Thaiboxing, is a martial art from Thailand and its national sport. It is similar to other styles of kickboxing, but superior to them because of the allowed use of knees and elbows. Muay Thai is referred to as the "Art of Eight Limbs" or the "Science Of Eight Limbs" because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using eight "points of contact", as opposed to "two points" (fists) and "four points" (hands and feet) like in Western boxing, Kickboxing and other sport-oriented martial arts. This is the main reason why Thaiboxing is still the most dominant of stand up styles in all arenas of fighting, but especially in the now all-style orientated world of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). Today there is almost as many women training in the art of Muay Thai as man, due to it's great effectiveness in self defense (knees and elbows) and the fact that is a great outlet to get rid of accumulated aggression from a stressful day at work.
