Jujutsu \Ju"jut`su\, n. Also Jujitsu \Ju"jit`su\, Jiujutsu
\Jiu"jut`su\, Jiujitsu \Jiu"jit`su\ [Jap. j[=u]jutsu; j[=u] soft
(prob. because no weapons are used) + jutsu art.]
The Japanese art of self-defense without weapons, now widely
used as a system of physical training. It depends for its
efficiency largely upon the principle of making use of an
opponent's strength and weight to disable or injure him, and
by applying pressure so that his opposing movement will throw
him out of balance, dislocate or break a joint, etc. It
opposes knowledge and skill to brute strength, and demands an
extensive practical knowledge of human anatomy.
