Self Defence

Goshin Jutsu

護身

This curriculum is a perquisite to a formal grading. It will normally be completed in class prior to a grading seminar. Parts of this curriculum can be used in the demonstration section of the grading seminar.

Self defence is the cornerstone of Inner Circle Academy. It is the reason the club exists.

All of these techniques are Core techniques.

This curriculum can be taught in isolation from the other parts of the core Ju-jitsu curriculum however the core curriculum will enhance and enrich the outcomes and conversely, this curriculum although separate, enhances and puts practical application to the Jujutsu curriculum.

This is also true of all of the elective curriculums even though they may be substantially an ‘art’.

No part is more or less important than another. There is intrinsic value in all.

This Curriculum is in English only wherever possible as it is also a stand alone complete basic self defence course deliverable as is.

The Curriculum refers to other drills and kata that can be located in the Drills & Kata Sheets

Parts marked NW are also duplicated at the noted level in the Nage Waza Curriculum

This curriculum covers the following sections of the Jujutsu curriculum:

Disengagements & Hand Escapes Teridatsu 手離脱

Reflex Shinken Shobu Waza 真剣処分技

Ground Fighting Strategy Newaza Senryaku 寝技戦略

Modern Weapons Of Opportunity Kikai No Buki 機会の武器

Urban Defences Shigai Bōei 市街防衛

Knots And Escapes Hojojutsu - Dasso 捕縄術, - 脱出
