KISHIDŌ JU-JITSU – THE WAY OF THE KNIGHT

Ju-Jitsu is often described as technique, sport, or self-defense.
More rarely, as a Way.

Kishidō – The Way of the Knight was born from the need to restore unity and depth to an ancient art that is, at the same time, profoundly contemporary.

Through the lens of Kishidō Ju-Jitsu, this book explores the historical roots of Ju-Jitsu, its founding principles, and its evolution within the modern world—not as a nostalgic return to the past, but as a coherent path for the present.

A METHOD, NOT JUST A STYLE

Kishidō Ju-Jitsu is not presented as yet another variation of the gentle art.
It is a method capable of organizing practice through coherence, responsibility, and awareness.

From philosophical foundations to technical structure, from the matrix of Basic Techniques to the relationship with modern reality, from teaching ethics to the responsibility of advanced practitioners, this book outlines a rigorous path that rejects shortcuts and simplifications.

COHERENCE AND RESPONSIBILITY

Kishidō is not a collection of techniques. It does not seek consensus, trends, or rapid results.
It asks only for seriousness, dedication, and continuity.

Technique without ethics is empty.
Power without responsibility is dangerous.
Practice without awareness leads nowhere.

A WAY FOR THE MODERN PRACTITIONER

This book is intended for all practitioners of Ju-Jitsu and Martial Arts—regardless of age, background, or context—who seek to understand Kishidō Ju-Jitsu as a complete discipline for the human being.

A path where:

• skill and control
• tradition and innovation
• discipline and freedom

do not oppose one another, but coexist as complementary aspects of the same Way.

Beyond these pages, there is no final answer. There is only a path to walk — the Way of Kishidō.
