Summary:
Jieishudan is a hybrid creation, a blend of various time-tested self-defense martial arts, including boxing, ground fighting, and grappling. This discipline sprung up in England, with thanks to the martial arts fever that the world caught onto during the 1980s. Its goal is to teach people to defend themselves in any given situation. Often taught at youth clubs for non-profit as a way of giving back to the community and helping youngsters with self-confidence.
