SAN JITSU RYU


The art of SAN-JITSU referring to the 3 ways of "body, mind and spirit" is a jiu-jitsu system which also incorporates elements of karate, judo, jing jow pai kung-fu, wrestling, boxing and street fighting. It is GUAM'S FIRST INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED MARTIAL ART SYSTEM encompassing striking, kicking, throwing, grappling, pressure points, accupressure and resuscitation arts. Formulated in the Village of Toto, Guam by PROFESSOR FRANK E. SANCHEZ in 1971, it includes unique rolling movements to take advantage of momentum to destroy the limbs of the opponent.
