Jujitsu

Overview:
Unlike most other martial arts, Jujitsu is not limited to one aspect of self defense. It includes striking techniques, such as kicks, punches, elbow strikes and knees, throwing and grappling techniques similar to Judo, as well as many other types of techniques.

Jujitsu is a complete system of self defense. Many common street self defense situations will be covered in this class.


Meeting times / locations:
Jujitsu meets from 8:00-9:30 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays in studio 10 of the T-Recs facility. The class is run by Dr. Donald J. Tyrell; a 7th degree blackbelt in Judo and Jujitsu and Ed McCall.

A beginner's credit class is offered to UT students during the fall and spring semesters. You must be a student enrolled in classes at UT to register for the class.


Fees:
The instructors are not paid for their time, however, club dues are collected to provide for such items as mats and travel expenses. Dues are $45 per semester (Fall, Spring, and Summer) and are due at the beginning of each semester. Payment of dues entitles you to participate in all other classes at no additional charge.

To participate in the club or the class, players will also be required to purchase a gi (the standard jujitsu uniform). The cost is $35. (Cost may be higher if you require a non-standard gi size)

Guests are welcome to attend two classes before paying dues and purchasing a gi.
