It is a self defence system that uses
different techniques as well as improvisations designed to cope in different
street situations. Its training enables a student to effectively defend
against both armed and unarmed assailants.Initially, Jieishudan was taught
unofficially as an un-named 'street' self defence system in youth clubs,
where kids and teenagers from all backgrounds wanted to learn how to defend
themselves if they had to do so. The
emphasis of Jieishudan is on self-defence, has no forms or katas and no
uniform.
Jieishudan is not practised as a sport and as such has no competitive aspect
or competitions.
Training involves but is not limited to full contact sparring, bag work and
endurance drills.
All kicks are kept below the waist for speed and to avoid being grabbed by
an opponent.
Advanced students learn to defend against various weapons such as knives,
sticks, etc. |
