Definition :
Taijutsu (体術) literally means “body technique.” It is a traditional Japanese martial art focused on efficient, natural movement rather than brute strength. Taijutsu emphasizes posture, balance, timing, distance, and the intelligent use of the body to control an opponent with minimal effort.
Rather than relying on flxed forms alone, Taijutsu develops adaptability and responsiveness through principles of movement that apply to both armed and unarmed combat. Training cultivates:
- Natural posture and structural alignment
- Balance, timing, and spatial awareness
- Efficient movement and body mechanics
- Practical self-defense skills
- Calmness and clarity under pressure
Taijutsu is suitable for practitioners of all ages and physical conditions, offering both martial effectiveness and long-term physical development.
