This is the first book of its kind to explain JuJitsu in such detail. Its breadth and depth covers all ancillary parts connected to the study, practice and coaching of JuJitsu, from the principles involved to the biomechanics and physics. The book is well illustrated, with over 100 diagrams, graphs, figures and photographs, many of which are full colour, and helpful coaching tips. It's aimed at those who wish to study or coach the art, and is an excellent resource for those who practice by de-mystifying the coaching and training processes and explaining how we learn. It details the establishment of JuJitsu within the UK, the development of JuJitsu globally, and the philosophical aspects of JuJitsu. It also covers such highly topical and controversial issues as drugs in sport and emergency care in a superlative way, so that any reader will be able to make an informed view on either issue. The author describes the common injuries sustained in JuJitsu and deliberates on their cause, signs, symptoms and treatment, providing the reader with an invaluable resource into this area. The author brings a new dimension to the coaching process by combining sports science with the traditional martial arts values and techniques of JuJitsu, utilising the sciences to explain techniques and theories that have pervaded and been passed down through the years. This is a remarkable subtle blend of the physical, psychological and spiritual which brings the relevance of traditional JuJitsu into the 21st century. This is a must-have book for all serious students, coaches and masters of martial arts.
