The journey of learning Ju-Jitsu is a lifelong endeavor, with its roots extending back over 2000 years into Japanese mythology. The origins of modern Ju-Jitsu are traced to between the 8th and 16th centuries AD, during a turbulent era of civil wars in Japan. Ju-Jitsu became the martial art of the Buhi warrior class, which included the esteemed samurai. These warriors turned to Ju-Jitsu when they found themselves unarmed in battle, relying on its techniques for unarmed combat, while also employing weapons like knives or sticks when necessary.
