Jujutsu, also known in the West as Ju-Jitsu or Jiu-Jitsu, is a Japanese martial art and a method of close combat for defeating an armed and armored opponent in which one uses either a short weapon or none. “Jū” can be translated to mean “gentle, soft, supple, flexible, pliable, or yielding.” “Jutsu" can be translated to mean “art” or “technique” and represents manipulating the opponent's force against themselves rather than confronting it with one's own force.
