Shobukan Judo/Jujutsu is a self defense system that combines jujutsu and judo. Jujutsu is the much older form of judo. It's intent was to injure, maim or kill an adversary. Judo was created in 1882, by Kano Jigoro, Professor, in order to make the training less dangerous. We teach this combination art in a safe manner with regard for our partner's well being. This art deals more with throwing and joint locking than with the more linear kicks, blocks and punches of karate. More emphasis is put on using the motion, weight transfer and off balancing of the attacker. We teach the Kodokan Judo syllabus and more. Japanese terminology is used at the school.
