Yawara Ju Jutsu Zuid-West

Yawara Ju Jutsu Zuid-West is dedicated to increasing the visibility of Yawara Ju-Jutsu in the southwestern region of the Netherlands. This martial art, originally practiced by samurai, emphasizes self-defense techniques that are efficient and effective. The Yawara system, developed by Wim Pieck, incorporates elements from Silat and focuses on three principles: liberating, controlling, and incapacitating. Techniques include takedowns, pressure points, and joint locks, and while they are primarily practiced unarmed, weapons such as sticks and knives are also utilized. The system is particularly suitable for modern self-defense, although competitions are not held due to the potential for injury. Interested individuals are welcome to join a trial lesson.
