 Jiu-Jitsu is one of the oldest forms of martial arts known to man. It is said to have been created more than 4,000 years ago by Buddhists monks from northern India, a few miles north of Bernares, where a man, known today as Buddha, the “Enlightened One,” lived a peaceful life. The monks wandered the countryside divulging Buddhism. In these journeys, they were often robbed and murdered. Thus, they created a system of fighting techniques designed to defend themselves against their oppressors. Since it was against their religious principals to harm others, they developed a system without the use of any weapons or violent techniques. The Buddhist Monks were the true creators of the grappling arts.  Practice Jiu Jitsu, it’s safe – and enlightening. Komar Jiu Jitsu Academy is the perfect environment for Jiu Jitsu practice.
