Connoisseur: Quantum Jujitsu

Picture this: After a nice late chill out night with your booze-pals and you're drowsily walking down a quiet and dark shortcut alone to hail a cab home at the nearest traffic-filled road. Some smirking asswipes hidden somewhere along the dark route think it might just be their lucky night and attempt to hit on you like vultures swarming down on a carcass. If you're a guy, you might just end up with a few wallops and a wallet poorer. For ladies, they might just lose something more.

Let's not venture down that eerie thought and start focusing on prevention in the means of self-defence! Street violence may not be as prevailing here as compared to other countries, but that doesn't mean that it will never happen. Low crime rate's not to be taken for granted and undermined, least that's what our neighbourhood friendly policeman will tell you. With that in mind, brace yourself for what MSR's featuring today! It's mind, body and soul blazing!

Quantum Jujitsu was founded by Sensei Jeremy Corbell in 1995, whose basic philosophy's to train complete warriors by means of synthesizing several styles of martial arts into one. Derived from traditional Jujitsu, what sets it apart from better known variation like Brazilian Jujitsu other than having the essence of various schools of fighting arts is the introduction and emphasis on self-healing art via Corbell's very own Warrior Yoga as well as Restoration Massage Therapy (RMT). Corbell believes that a proficient fighter should not only be adept in destroying but also in healing oneself and others. Yoga and massage not only help the body to heal faster, but also allow the warrior to become stronger, thus being considered a beneficial aspect in a warrior's training.

There's mainly three modes of combat involved in the teaching of Quantum Jujitsu, namely: Out-Fighting, In-Fighting & Ground-Fighting. Out-fighting refers to combat prior a clinch between two fighters, where the primary goal is to achieve a knockout of the opponent. In-fighting is combat after clinching while still remain standing, where a fighter either performs a knockout or a takedown of his opponent by means of obtaining the higher end in control. Ground-fighting is simply combat between the fighters after they hit the floor, whereby in this case, a fighter's objective is to go for a knockout or submission. Once again, control of dominance is crucial in all three modes of combat. It is commonly known that majority of the street fights end up on the ground although fighters start off standing, therefore the decisive factor in dominating a street brawl is usually proficient ground-fighting. With that, let's have a look at Sensei Corbell's demo.

With all the spectacular high-flying action displayed, it is nevertheless important for everyone to understand that we highly discourage anyone from attempting the above stunt moves physically even at your own risk.

Further adding to the above, it should be instilled in everyone's mind that combat knowledge and techniques must only be utilized for the defence of oneself and others when subjected to attempted assault by evil-intented assailants. Just like the Quantum Jujitsu symbol, the triangle represents the three components of humanity: Creator, Preserver & Destroyer. Within this triangle, one must seek to constantly maintain a balance, which is indicated by a circle joining all three points of the triangle to symbolically remind one of our search for balance and harmony between all aspects of our being. So don't just go about practicing moves on your poor manager for delaying your promotion, or the bus captain for confiscating your son's student concession card when you are using it as an adult passenger.

During unfortunate incidents of street fights, it is highly crucial to disable and cripple the assailant's ability of harm as soon as possible. Always go for a knockout or try for subdues either by inflicting excruciating pain or physically crippling their combat-enabling limbs. Illegal moves such as 'crotch-jabs' and 'eye-gouging' may be used to an extend of sufficient deterrence of an attacker from posing danger. The sooner you manage to disable an assailant, the better it is for yourself and everyone within the vicinity as the danger imposed by the assailant is disarmed quickly to ensure personal and public safety.
