Zitat:
The first contact the West had with jûjutsu - apart perhaps from the occasional sailor who received a demonstration for some trangression committed while on leave in a Japanese port, or the diplomats, journalists, and adventurers who were living in Japan just prior to the Meji reform and had opportunity to see jûjutsu performed as a part of official government ceremonies - was thanks to Japanese expatriates were by no means jûjutsu "masters", and their rather limited jûjutsu knowledge (though it was impressive enough to draw the attention of the contemporary Westerner to jûjutsu) was mainly borrowed from systems such as Tenjin Shinyo Ryû, the Yoshin Ryû, and of course Kanô Jigorô's jûdô (itself a product of the Meiji period).
"These systems were peacetime jûjutsu systems and represented a verry narrow range within the spectrum of existing jûjutsu schools."
(Serge Mol "Classical Fighting Arts of Japan - A Complete Guide to Koryû Jûjutsu", 2001, S. 9)
besonders hinweisen möchte ich auf diese anmerkung, die serge mol macht:
Zitat:
"The first jûjutsu "manuals" available in the West were often written by, or in cooperation with, some of these expatriate Japanese (a few even ventured into making black-and-white movies).
Most works show a rather narrow repertoire of very basic jûjutsu techniques which, stripped of their historical context, are not much more than a collection of self-defense tricks, focusing on defensive situations and again emphasizing "victory through yielding" and the value of jûjutsu as a system of physical culture.
As we have seen, jûjutsu is quite often incorrectly defined as "a soft art", "a defensive system" or "a weaponless system".
... traditional jûjutsu can be defined more appropriately as:
A method of close combat, either unarmed or employing minor weapons, that can be used in defensive or offensive ways, to subdue one or more unarmed or armed opponents."

Zitat:
"This definition includes two very important elements.
First, the person using jûjutsu does not necessarily have to be unarmed.
A bushi (warrior) would hardly ever be completely without weapons; therefore an accurate definition should not imply that a person using jûjutsu must be unarmed.
It could just mean that for whatever reason one could not, or would not, resort to the use of major weapons, which for bushi would have meant sword, spear, naginata, and the like.
Secondly, jûjutsu is not merely "defensive" as it often assumed.
What is defense?
What is attack?
True combative systems use attack and defense to their strategic advantage.
If a potential enemy could be neutralized with a viable first strike, that option would certainly have been considered in the old fighting systems."
