Samurai Jūjutsu
The samurai developed the art of Jũjutsu through centuries of battlefield testing and refinement to create the most efficient method to subdue an opponent as quickly as possible. Rather than a crude system that uses simple striking to outfight an opponent, hopefully before you get injured, Jūjutsu is designed to get in control of an opponent and prevent him from continuing to attack you. This method is more time-consuming to learn than simple martial arts, because there are far more techniques and greater range of training involved, but the end results are worth the effort because the system is designed to overcome faster and stronger opponents by fighting smarter rather than fighting harder.
