It is said that Jiu Jitsu is the "Mother of All Martial Arts"

---

In other words it is the martial art from which a lot of the other martial arts were derived.  For example, Karate developed the striking aspect of Jiu Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, developed the kicking aspect, Judo developed the throwing aspects. In addition, Jiu Jitsu advocates using your opponent's strength against themself, which means the Jiu Jitsu practitioner does not have to be strong to make the techniques effective. You will be trained to recognize and counter attacks from practitioners of other martial arts, and all without having to worry about how strong they are.
