Yawara

The Basic Hand Arts

The course Yawara is for the beginner, the person who has not yet had the opportunity to learn leverage and balance, or the person who fundamentally needs the principles of Jujitsu. Yawara will not only teach the basis of Jujitsu but will enable the individual to obtain a better perspective on the psychological teachings of Jujitsu as well.
