We are growing

We stated in Ariköy to split the Groups
- Little Giants – age group 5-9/10 – Tuesday and Thursday 6:30 – 7:25 PM
- Teens – age group 10-14/15 – Monday and Friday 6:30 – 7:25 PM
- Adults – age 15 – 99  – Tuesday and Thursday 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM

British school is going very well and is growing enormously. We doubled the attendees from one week to the other.

Kemerburgaz – The Kids (age Group 4-6) are coming with their parents and all together we learn how to defend ourselves.
One little jiu jitsu giant fighter (5 years old) said: “It is fun to throw the trainer and my mum around on the mat, I am stronger than them”. – This is the self confidence we need.

Pictures will follow soon.

Feedback request

I need your feedback!!

Jiu Jitsu – the Kids and the adults enjoy it.
Last training we got again new people.
If we continue to grow that fast we soon need more days or open another group.

There are also demands for separating the groups little giants (age 5-9) and the teens (age 10-15).

I am thinking for Ariköy of two options:
• to open another group for age group 10 – 14/15; maybe on Mondays and Fridays
• or to shift the
o little giants (age 5-9) to 5:30 PM continue with
o Teen fighters (age 10 – 15) from 6:30 to 7: 30 PM and
o Adult group (age 16 – 99) like before at 7:30 PM.

This is just to discuss – nothing changes for now – we still continue like before – this is just to discuss!
Please – send in your commands!
Regards,
Andreas

Origins of Jiu Jitsu

Origins of Ju-Jitsu

Ju-jitsu (or Yawara) is an ancient Japanese Martial Art. Its origins date back to the sixteenth century when legend narrates that its founding father, a young Japanese man called Shirobei Akiyama who was studying medicine in China, witnessed a heavy blizzard. He was able to appreciate how branches of most trees broke while the elastic branches of the Willow tree bent and efficiently freed themselves from the snow.
The Gentle Art or Art of Subtleness (for this is the meaning of Ju-Jitsu) would not aim to neutralize power with power but rationally absorb an attack and convert that energy to the opponent’s own detriment. This basic principle became the heart of the teaching of the Yoshin ryu school, founded by the Akiyama and considered to be the foremost Ju-jitsu dojo.
The Art developed throughout the Sengoki Era and continued through the Kanei, the Munnji and the Kanbun (1624-1673) periods. In the years of civil disorder the Samurai class
(Aristocratic warriors / Bushi) came to dominate. It is during this period that Ju-jitsu first developed as an open-field art of combat and then more and more as a physical and mental study.
The Golden Age of Ju-jitsu lasted until 1869, date in which the Emperor’s return to Japan and the subsequent abolition of Feudalism made the Samurai lose their status of privileged class. Samurai radition nevertheless kept Ju-jitsu alive and travellers brought the Art to all four corners of the world.

In more recent years the essence of some Martial Arts, such as Judo and Aikido, has developed from Ju-jitsu concentrating on specific aspects of their Martial Art forefather.
