Goshin Jujutsu is similar to other Jujutsu systems. and it is most popular outside Japan.Its emphasis is on effectiveness over show.The fundamental techniques of the art are stikes,kicks locks,throws and ground fighting. Rolling and falling methods along with stance and footwork are also key.

Fundamentals
Hand Techniques
The uppercut and hook are effective close-range boxing punches and are an important part of Goshin Jujutsu as well as the jab and cross. Elbow strikes (where, technically speaking, the point of contact is actually about an inch or two above the elbow on the forearm) are practiced going across to the face, up under the chin, and down on the chest. These can also be performed where the contact point is 1-2 inches towards the triceps and may be used as a reverse strike in a rear bear hug, or as an elbow-drop to a grounded opponent. Elbow strikes are arguably the most important close-range strikes due to the forearm being such a strong part of the body. Something that deserves comment is that the effectiveness of a punch is considerably tied to proper hip-torque, which in turn is tied to proper footwork. This is an important illustration of the inter-relationship between subjects that is holds true throughout the system.

Kicks
There is a preference in Goshin Jujutsu for simple low-to-mid-level kicks, the most common is a Karate style front kick (contact point is the ball of the foot, target is bladder or groin), roundhouse (contact point is the bridge of the foot, target is usually stomach or side of body), the side kick, and Muay Thai-style leg kicks (usually striking with the shin where target is the opponent’s knee or side of leg). Knee-strikes, technically speaking, are classified as kicks in Goshin Jujitsu and are used in close-range

Ukemi (Falling /Rolling)
Ukemi is a fundamental skill that is a part of every class. Forward shoulder rolls (off both sides), break falls (both sides), front-fall, back-fall, side-fall, flip, etc. There is a minor point worth mentioning on forward shoulder rolls and breakfalls: there are two ways in which the hand can be placed when rolling, on the back of the hand which is more traditional, and rolling with the palms facing the floor. As the system is designed for real-life usage, some schools will engage in periodic tests to see whether rolls can be performed smoothly on non-mat surfaces such as at a park or on hardwood floors.

Stances & footwork
Stances and footwork are a meld of boxing and traditional martial arts. As in boxing, the closer an opponent the higher the hands should be and the tighter the chin should be tucked to the chest. A more “open” stance (i.e., more of the chest exposed) is preferred over traditional “side-on” stances due to increased mobility. This type of stance does expose more of the vital organs on the front, but more importantly it protects the back, as if an opponent gets behind they can attack with minimal response, for example applying a choke. It also limits the possibility of getting being hit on the back of the skull or the spine, techniques that are commonly illegal in completions but might be used in a self-defense scenario.
