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 Jujutsu. Yawara will not only teach the basis of Jujutsu but will enable the individual to obtain a better perspective on the psychological teachings of Jujutsu as well.
