What is Jiu-jitsu

The very name of this martial art in the translation sounds like "soft style". In the original, it's name is pronounced jujitsu, as the Japanese are no hissing sounds. The whole principle of this martial art is built on the fact that, in response to brute force to oppose the softness and suppleness, but when the need arises, we must be able to demonstrate and stiffness. As a result, the force will be directed in the right direction and simply destroy itself. This fighting style consists of throws, seizures, pain techniques and effects on different pressure points on the human body. Also in the present jujitsu elements and shock art.

But not all in this style suit Akayama, and one day he went into his garden in winter and noticed that after a heavy snowfall in many trees were broken branches, only the willow they were intact, as the snow beneath their weight just slides off them down. Here Akayama I understand what is missing in the technique developed by him. And he began to create a new style in which brute force wins softness.
