Ju Jitsu in action

As we all know, 2008′ is the “Year of Wellness ” here at Statements. Coinciding with this, a Ju-Jitsu class was started last fall, and is held in the warehouse on Sunday mornings from 9-11 AM. Ju-Jitsu, literally translated as “Art of Softness” is a traditional Japanese martial art consisting primarily of grappling. The instructor of this class, Ivan Campbell, lived in Japan for 7 years training in traditional and modern styles of Ju-Jitsu. The class consists of 15 minutes of stretching, 45 minutes of traditional forms, which are basic self defense skills focusing on strikes, blocks, and counter attacks. This is followed by 20 minutes of exercises, including tumbling and cardio. The class ends with 30 minutes of sparring.
