Jujitsu

In ancient Japan, Jujitsu was the way of the Samurai. It included striking, kicking, small joint manipulations (Aikido), Judo, submissions, stretching, and meditations. Aikido, Judo, and various styles of Karate evolved out of Jujitsu, including Shotokan Karate. 600 years ago, if you had poor Jujitsu, you usually had a short life. Jujitsu was a deadly art that has become a sport in modern times.

Jujitsu utilizes maneuvers resulting in choke holds and breaking bones. Jujitsu is the art of controlling your opponent on the ground. Although it is primarily ground fighting, Jujitsu includes many takedowns (freestyle wrestling style & Judo throws).

A typical CMS Jujitsu class involves strikes, kick boxing, circuit training and cardio exercises during the first half of class, and submission grappling for the last half of class. All students are free to participate in just one section or both to fit with their schedules and their comfort.
