CAN-RYU JIU-JITSU
- CAN-RYU JIU-JITSU is an art of self-protection
The word “Jujitsu” means “the gentle art” it is; “the art of gaining victory by yielding or pliancy”.
Jiu-Jitsu was originally developed by Samurai warriors in feudal Japan as a method to defeating an armed or armoured opponent in which one uses no weapon or a short weapon. Since then there have been many adaptations of the Japanese fighting style, by many countries. The style and techniques have been modified to suit the needs of the practitioner, and so the spelling of the name has been interpreted differently as well. Our Style CAN-RYU simply means; Canadian School and was founded by Professor Georges Sylvain.
CAN-RYU JIU-JITSU teaches;
– rolling, falling, hold escapes, throwing, grappling, strikes, locks, defensive techniques against : punching, kicking and weapon attacks, from a stand-up or ground application, as well as the BUSHIDO our code of conduct.
It also instills; co-ordination, balance, leverage, speed and personal confidence.
CAN-RYU JIU-JITSU is not a sport where practitioners learn to score points in competition as in Brazilian Jiu jitsu or some of the other styles of martial arts.
There are no rules in Can-Ryu Jiu-Jitsu, only results.
This motto reflects the practical applications of our training, students who are learning CAN-RYU JIU-JITSU are exposed to a high level of discipline that includes observing dojo rules and etiquette.
With emphasis on total awareness and self-protection, CAN-RYU JIU-JITSU ingrains the idea that the element of surprise that can mean the difference between success and failure to defend against an attack. This martial art wipes out differences in size, weight, height and reach, evening the odds and making it accessible to everyone, no matter their size.
The greatest benefit in learning CAN-RYU JIU-JITSU is gaining the ability to spot and defuse potential encounters in the early stages – without fighting.
We teach CAN-RYU JIU-JITSU with the attitude that you should never have to raise your hands in violence. We do not promote the idea of fighting or violence, however, if it should ever be necessary to physically protect yourself, you’ll know what to do and respond with lawful action using only as much force as necessary to nullify the situation.
