Strikes
Strikes are used in practially every martial art in the world today (with the notable exception of some
styles of wrestling). A strike does not necessarily have to be a punch - it could be a kick, an elbow strike,
a knee, a head-butt, etc. In fact any hard (bony) part of the body can be used to strike with.
In jiu jitsu the basic forms of striking are taught, but unlike some of the hard-style martial arts, jiu jitsu
does not include toughening or breaking training. Instead Jiu Jitsu focuses very much on the use of distractive
atemi and the striking of vulnerable targets and pressure points.
