Japanese Jiu Jitsu typically focuses on the so-called gentler aspects of fighting. It is often recommended as an art suitable for smaller or weaker people, since correctly applied leverage allows control over stronger and bigger opponents. Typical schools focus on the self-defense aspects, such as blocking, throwing an opponent and controlling him, usually with only a small focus on striking, except to set up grappling techniques. Many joint locks and choke holds are applied from standing, either to throw an opponent off his feet or incapacitate him. Techniques against armed opponents are often included in the schools’ instruction. Traditional uniforms known as a gi are worn, with colored belts ranging from white to black, indicating the rank of a practitioner, while set patterns known as kata are used to practice techniques.
