Thank You, Manabi-Masho.com Manabi-Masho Jujitsu, Mixed Martial Arts blended to create a superior and more effective self defense system. The Manabi-Masho Jujitsu system is always evolving with new variations and creations from Soke John Casarez, Master/Shidoshi-Ho Mark Murdock and from the other black belts on the Manabi-Masho Jujitsu black belt board. The basics are always taught over and over so a student can master them. It's important for a martial art to evolve and not become stagnant. The world is ever changing and evolving. It's important for your martial art to keep up with the changes. Some of the old battlefield techniques of ancient Japan that were effective in the past may not be as effective in modern times. Manabi-Masho blends several martial art styles; Jujitsu, Aikido, Judo, Karate, Ninjutsu, Eskrima, Stick and Knife Fighting and Tae Kwon Do. Learning the best techniques of several multiple martial arts styles and the putting them into a blend is more effective than learning only one traditional martial art style. The techniques of Manabi-Masho are free style, free flowing, random and without kata. This kind of training prepares a student for a random or surprise type of attack. Techniques taught at our school are taught at a slower to medium speed and in a light to medium contact for the beginner student. This is due to the realism of the techniques. At full speed many of these techniques can cause serious injury to an untrained and unconditioned beginning student. This is why we practice at a slower speed and at a lighter force for beginners. As the student progresses up in rank they will be using more speed and more contact with their technique. High ranking Brown belts through 1st Degree Black belts "and beyond" will be using more of a moderate to full contact with higher speeds "with control of course" using randori or a "controlled spar" to avoid serious injury to their training partner. As always the student has the choice to do only what they are comfortable with. If the student feels that a specific technique or excercise is too streneous or too difficult they will not be required to do that technique or excercise. The techniques of Manabi-Masho Jujitsu involve escapes from various grabs and holds, various joint locks, throws and some types of chokes, basic weapon disarms, as well as damaging strikes to the organs and bones. Students will also learn pressure points on the body and the throat. "Leathal or crippling techniques are not taught to children or any adult under brown belt level". Higher-ranking students learn a "flow" of techniques using defensive counters for various attacks, such as punches and grabs, guns and knives, sticks and other types of assaults. Manabi-Masho Jujitsu is great for the normal person whether they are male or female, fit or unfit, big or small or at any age. It doesn't matter who you are, you can learn how to effectively defend yourself without all the competition and tounaments and hard to learn forms and katas of other sport oriented arts. Manabi-Masho Jujitsu uses free flow techniques that are realistic and natural to use. This is unlike the rigid katas of other styles. Manabi-Masho is taught in a natural and easy to learn format. This makes the training more interesting and entertaining for the student. Most students retain more when their training is interesting and also when they have fun while they're training. For persons with physical and or mild mental limitations we offer a special approach for their training. We're able to teach in a modified approach and we usally can work around most mild mental and physical limitations and disabilites. We're able to specially modify our training to cater to those persons. Just because you have a limitation doesn't mean you can't earn a belt rank in our system. The goal of Manabi-Masho is life preservation. Manabi-Masho translates as the "Working Way" - this is because the techniques really do work in a real world situation. We do not train to compete in tournaments or do any kind of competition sparring. Manabi-Masho is not a competition sport, it is strictly combative and a specialized self defense style. Our goal is to teach our students to stay alive in a dangerous attack, not to win trophies. In Manabi-Masho Jujitsu we attempt to place some realism into the training. When someone is trying to hurt or kill you, points do not matter. When you are confronted by an attacker, it's unlikely that you'll be in an air-conditioned building, with protective padding. More likely, you'll be opening the door to your car on a hot day in a parking lot, maybe in shorts and a t-shirt. There may be broken glass or gravel on the ground. Your attacker may have a weapon or may have "his buddies" waiting to jump in. The skills taught in Manabi-Masho are tailored for this kind of self defense. We're not a tournament-style fighting system where your all padded up in an air-conditioned bulding sparring while someone is scoring your performance. We train for the real world. During our training if we do use full contact, we always use mats and protective equipment for saftey. Only highly skilled students with higher ranking belts will permitted to train full contact without protective equipment. When we train outdoors there's usally no padding and usally no protective equipment. This is more of a real life kind of training, which is more realistic. The martial art styles blended to create Manabi-Masho allow for a dynamic style of defense. There is no counter number three for attack number five. In the real world an attack happends in random and in no pattern. Manabi-Masho Jujitsu trains the student to deal with a random attack while using a random type of defense. Training in Manabi-Masho is often conducted in environments outside of the dojo. We train this way in order to increase the realism and to condition a student for these possibilities. In the end, the art of Manabi-Masho Jujitsu will always stand by it's motto: We don't win trophies, We win lives! and SSMA's school motto: No Trophies, No Tournaments, You Win Your Life.
