What Is Tai Jutsu? Today's Tai(Body) Jutsu(Art/application) is
composed of a merging of nine schools making it a Self Defence that
is unsurpassed in its breadth and practicality and has a traceable
lineage of over 900 Years with a record of 34 Generations of Grand
Masters down to today's Grand master Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi.

Tai Jutsu is an art of movement, training concentrates on motion,
timing and distance and the effective use of the body in all
situations so it does not matter how strong or heavy or how small
you may be.
The Art is made up of a number of elements including:
• Junan Taiso Stretching and conditioning.
• Taihen Jutsu All forms of movement, including footwork,
evasions, balancing, leaping and rolling.
• Daken Jutsu Punching, Kicking Striking and blocking. This is
similar to Karate but has simpler, more circular movements.
• Jutai Jutsu Grappling, throwing and immobilization
techniques and easily learned escapes from holds. Here the art is
similar to Judo and Aikido but is much older and taught in a simpler
but subtler form.
There is no sporting competition or artificial fighting in our
training and we try to make every lesson different to the one before
so we can learn to apply our art to every possible circumstance.
A Martial Art is strongest in defence.
