about whether I am doing the right thing by training in jujitsu/kobudo as well as my main martial art of karate.
When you have been training in a martial art for a few years... of this is that we are better strikers than throwers. On the other hand in my jujitsu club the attention to technical detail for teaching throwing techniques is intense whereas there is very

We became a martial arts family about 6 years ago when hubby and the boys took up Jujitsu. Unfortunately it became a bit like living with Kato from pink panther with hubby... jujitsu - all that grappling and rolling around. I reckon if an attacker got me down on the ground I'd be dead meat. I needed a martial art that would allow me to stay on my feet

In my kobudo (jujitsu) club there is very little attention to detail on how to strike but a lot more detail on throwing and locking techniques. The result is that jujitsuka

I am loving my time in martial arts--and I know I am pushing and challenging myself in great ways. Cecilia and I are also looking at adding a Small Circle Jujitsu class to our repertoire.
