THE COMPLETE ART OF JIU-JITSU

A Complete Jiu-Jitsu (Jujutsu) System Encompassing Both Striking and Grappling Training

With extensive experience in both old-school and modern jiu-jitsu, and black belt rankings in multiple jiu-jitsu styles—including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)—the Bajada brothers have remained dedicated to pursuing the true essence of the art.

 

Inspired by the Past, Shaped for the Present

​Historically, the old jiu-jitsu schools (koryu) were not confined by rigid stylistic boundaries. Instead, they adopted the most effective methods and techniques available to them, based on the realities of their time and environment. In essence, they were mixed martial arts and comprehensive combat systems.

 

This same principle lies at the heart of Jiushin Kan Jiu-Jitsu; it remains open to all sources—whether judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling, kickboxing, or others.

​

The Three Main Components of the Jiushin Kan System​

• Ground Grappling – Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)

• Stand-up Grappling – Judo/Jiu-Jitsu and Wrestling

• Striking – Kickboxing and Thai Boxing

​

Training Philosophy and Curriculum

Separate sessions are held for grappling, striking, and integrated striking–grappling. For those who wish to focus exclusively on grappling (BJJ) without striking, this option is fully supported—with ranking and certification for both grappling-only and the full Jiushin Kan system trainees.

 

Jiushin Kan Jiu-Jitsu incorporates both gi (dogi, the traditional uniform) and no-gi training. While it includes methods and techniques that utilize the gi, it does not rely heavily on it—even during gi-based training. This approach ensures effectiveness in self-defence and real-world applicability.

 

An official curriculum, developed through rigorous study, serves as a guide and fundamental base while remaining open to the best possible methods and techniques, as well as unlimited progression—emphasizing versatility and advocating quality over quantity.

 

Randori (Sparring) and Live Application

The importance of sparring is emphasized to develop the mindset and technical proficiency required to apply techniques effectively against fully resisting opponents—all within a safe and controlled environment. The system has been tested and validated in professional MMA (mixed martial arts) competition.

​

Self-Defence Programme

For those seeking focused personal protection skills, a separate self-defence programme—akin to traditional jiu-jitsu—is offered, complete with its own syllabus and certification system.

​

Modern Practice, Classical Roots

Jiushin Kan Jiu-Jitsu is a contemporary jiu-jitsu system that evolves with the times while remaining rooted in budo (martial arts) values and etiquette. It was officially named Jiushin Kan in Japan—along with the brothers’ dojo—by the President of the DNBK, a name meaning “hall of the true ideals of jiu-jitsu”.
