Atemi Ju-Jitsu
Appearance
Atemi Ju-Jitsu is a modern martial of ancient origin created in France in 1944 by Bernard Pariset† under the influence of Jigoro Kano's student Mikonosuke Kawaishi. It includes Atemi-Waza (Striking techniques), Nage-Waza (Throwing techniques) and Katame-Waza (Grappling techniques). Its practice is very much oriented towards Kihon/combinations and randori, both standing (Tachi-Waza) and on the ground (Ne-Waza). It combines ancient techniques developed by Samurais on the battlefield in feudal Japan, with modern techniques found in martial arts such as Judo, Karate and Aikido. It works well with single opponents, but its effectiveness is maximized with multiple opponents.
