👊 "Atemi was not an afterthought but an integral part of the classical jujutsu approach—it served to distract, weaken, or disable the enemy long enough to apply a controlling technique." — Draeger & Smith (Classical Budo, 1969) 👊 "Atemi-waza is effective, but dangerous. Therefore, it is better suited for Kara and self defense than for free practice l (i.e. randori)." — Master Jigoro Kano (Kodokan) #jujitsu #atemi #judo #jiujitsu #jigorokano #selfdefense #jukidojujitsu #martialarts | Jukido Aca
