Small Circle Jujitsu

At York Karate, we also incorporate the principles of Professor Wally Jay's world-famous system of Small Circle Jujitsu. This system relies on tight leverage and locking of joints to subdue even the largest of attackers. We utilize the principles of Small Circle Jujitsu for applying z-bar wrist locks, finger locks, palm locks, palm twists, arm bars, and various other jujitsu techniques.
