What are the ingredients of a great martial art?
Power - this is emphasised in styles around the world, from Hung Gar in Southern China to standard weight training in the MMA gyms in the USA.
Speed - the great weapon of Wing Chun
Timing - we all know it only takes one strike at the right moment to turn a hero into a zero.
Sure, but if that’s the case why did the ninjas of ancient Japan defeat so many samurai? Samurai were powerful, fast and had good timing right?
Unconventional Combat - the ninja understood that attacking the samurai from the shadows was ten times as deadly as facing them one on one.
In that case, why aren’t there ninja today?
The modern world is not like ancient Japan - we have buses, cars, the internet, guns. We therefore need a new approach to warriorship.
Jon Jitsu is a new approach to martial arts taking the best elements of all styles and applying them to the modern world. Its founder, Jon Bird, understood that by marrying the two halves of conventional and unconventional combat, a perfect system that would terrify even the ronin of old could be created.
Here is an overview of Jon Jitsu.
CONVENTIONAL METHODS: Hitting, kicking, punching, throwing, joint manipulation, weapons
UNCONVENTIONAL METHODS: Trickery, intent reading, espionage, stealth, tumbling, poisonhood
I am one of Jon’s senior students, holding a 5th Dan in Jon Jitsu. I have also recently obtained my teacher’s certificate, and am able to teach online classes.
If anyone is interested in learning, or has any questions, fire away.

Hello HerofightWarrio! Welcome to the KFM Forums. Is this anything like Joe Jutsu? Is it as effective?
