GOJUKI JITSU
GO: A Japanese word meaning hardness and action, the opposite of ju, related in effect to,
Ying-Yang. It is the concept that led to the development of the hard striking styles of the martial arts.
JU: A Japanese word meaning softness and
yielding, the opposite of go, as existing in
Ying- Yang. It refers to the flexibility of both
mind and body and is the essence of turning
the opponents own momentum against them.
KI: Refers to the life force or vital energy of
life, which unites all things. It is more than
just personal energy and can make one more
powerful than physical strength alone can. It
is thought that ones ki is reflected in the
personality and outward actions and is
therefore a reflection of the ‘inner person’.
Jitsu: A term used to indicate a style or school of martial arts that emphasise the force of that particular art and its combat effectiveness.
