ABOUT TRUJITSU
Trujitsu is a modern Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu approach utilizing body movement and mechanics to overcome physical dominance. The concepts behind the system allow an average individual to overcome a superior athlete with intelligence and technique.
The “Trujitsu” movement is focused on bringing Jiu-Jitsu back to its roots where the size and strength of your opponent do not matter if your technique is laser sharp.
