柔術 Ju-jitsu

柔術是一種古老的日本武術,據說是起源自古代戰場上的廝殺,當時的戰鬥是穿著鎧甲來進行的,最初是類似相撲的二人插手合抱的形式,後來隨著技術發展,出現擰手腕、肘關節、倒身摔等。 Ju-jitsu is an ancient form of Japanese martial arts in the nineteenth century. Ju-jitsu originated from battles in old days, in which soldiers wore either chain-metal or leather to fight. In the beginning, ju-jitsu is competed by using hand wresting and similar to sumo. By improving its techniques of wrestling, modern ju-jitsu involved the techniques of grabbing, twisting, and back throwing.

柔術的精神在於將對方的力量轉為自己攻擊對方的力量,有2種不同種類的柔術:一是2人組、另一種是打鬥組。2人組是由同組的1對jutsukas盡可能展現出自我防衛技巧去抵擋對方的12次連續性攻擊。打鬥組是一個連續性的2回合比賽,是一對一的搏鬥。 The essence of ju-jitsu is to use the opponent’s force in order to launch an attack from attackers. There are two different types of ju-jitsu: the Duo System and the Fighting System. Duo system is a discipline in which a pair of jutsukas from the same team show possible self-defence techniques against a series of 12 attacks. The Fighting System is articulated in a series of two-round, one-on-one combats between athletes from opposing teams.
