Welcome to the Ju-Jutsu Historical Research Society™ \u67d4\u8853\u53f2\u5b66\u7814\u7a76\u4f1a (JJHRS)! \u00a0The purpose of this society is to explore the early technical development and worldwide spread of Ju-Jutsu – particularly\u00a0during the Meiji Era \u660e\u6cbb\u6642\u4ee3\u00a0<\/span>of Japan (October 23, 1868 through July 30, 1912). \u00a0During this period, the practice of Japanese Ju-Jutsu as a Bugei (martial art) was on the decline due to the adoption\u00a0of Western military technology and tactics. \u00a0The art of Ju-Jutsu might have disappeared entirely, if not for the vision and leadership of Dr. Jigoro Kano \u661f\u91ce\u4e5d\u9580, a great Ju-Jutsu instrcutor, academic educator, and\u00a0organizational specialist. \u00a0Dr. Kano’s Kodokan Judo movement, combined with the rise of the Dai Nippon Butokukai \u5927\u65e5\u672c\u6b66\u5fb3\u4f1a (Greater Japanese Martial Virtues Society), was successful at perserving\u00a0the traditions of old style Ju-Jutsu, and modernizing the art so\u00a0that it could be\u00a0taught and enjoyed throughout the world. \u00a0With the current popularity of Ju-Jutsu (in all its various forms – Kodokan Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Russian Sambo, etc.), it is important to remember the\u00a0pioneers that forged the path for future generations. \u00a0Please enjoy reading the historical information contained on this site!<\/p>\n
