Fujimi Ryu Jujitsu

The word Jujitsu means soft or pliable art and is derived from Feudal Japan. Some styles have retained the traditional character, while others have been streamlined into sports

Most of the clubs that train ju-jutsu in Sweden are members of the Swedish Budo and Martial Arts Federation, the jujutsu division, which has about 150 clubs with around 10 400 members. The clubs are spread throughout the country. Ju-jutsu is spread all over the world and is organized in Ju-jitsu International Federation (JJIF) and other international organizations. At Fenix, we train a style called Fujimi Ryu Jujitsu and the grading system was founded by Mike Wall in 1986. Since then, it has undergone two revisions, in 1988 and in 1995 and a further revision is right now in progress.

Ju-jutsu can be practiced as a form of exercise, self-defense or competitive sport. Some styles within the ju-jutsu have different spellings but the meaning is the same. In Sweden, there are many different stiles of Ju-jutsu. The characteristic of Fujimi Ryu jujitsu is that it is a flexible stile that has chosen to develop its training methods with a western touch while keeping the Japanese name and grading principles. You work with a lot of combinations during training and a good pace, a twinkle in your eye and movement in your techniques are rewarded.
The self-defense techniques that are trained today are adapted to a modern society and the laws applicable to self-defense in Sweden.

Ju-jutsu includes for example: release techniques, punches, kicks, blocks, throws, sweep techniques, wrestling on the mat, restrain techniques and transport grips. All the techniques are unarmed even though we train defense against attacks with weapons. In some styles in Sweden, they train with traditional Japanese gear and weapons to preserve the Budo and the art. We also do this at Fujimi Ryu Jujitsu, but we have a special section that cooperates with the Institute for Japanologi where this form of training can take up more space.

At Fenix Budo and Martial Arts Association, we also train Brazilian Jiu-jitu (BJJ) that is also a member of the Swedish Budo and Martial Arts Federation as its own style. Here, you focus the main parts of training on wrestling on the mat. In BJJ, no punches or kicks are allowed. BJJ is a very popular stile and mobility and sparring are important pillars. There are frequent competitions.
