JuJitsu is a collective name for Japanese martial art styles including unarmed and armed techniques.
There are many variations of the art, which leads to a diversity of approaches. JuJitsu schools may utilize all forms of grappling techniques to some degree (i.e. throwing, trapping, joint locking, holds, gouging, biting, disengagements, striking, and kicking). In addition to JuJitsu, many schools taught the use of weapons.
As a "soft" art, JuJitsu systems generally employ the principles of balance, leverage, and momentum to overcome opponents.
Movements tend to capitalize on an attacker's momentum and openings in order to place a joint in a compromised position or to break their balance as preparation for a take-down or throw. Less

About Tae Kwon Do
The origin of tae kwon do in Korea can be traced back to the Koguryo dynasty, founded 37BC. It was practiced not only as a skill to improve health and as a sport activity but it was also encouraged as a martial art of considerably high value. During the occupation of Korea by the Japanese in the early 19th century the practicing of martial arts, which could have been used as a means of revolt, was forbidden.
After liberation from the Japanese in 1945, those with an aspiration to revitalize the traditional art of tae kwon do taught their followers and on September 16, 1961 the Korea Tae kwon do Association was established. Korean instructors began going abroad to teach tae kwon do in the 1960s.
To teach at a PCYC in NSW tae kwon do instructors must have as a minimum level of qualifications a current National Coaching Accreditation Scheme (NCAS) Level 1 Tae Kwon Do. The NCAS is administered by the Australian Sports Commission, and the Level 1 Tae Kwon Do course is delivered by Tae Kwon Do Australia.

Kendo is the Japanese sport of sword fighting where Shinai (bamboo swords), along with protective armour are used. This equipment is used for training in place of the razor-sharp metal swords that Japanese martial arts are famous for.
A very popular sport in Japan, Kendo developed from the fighting art of Kenjutsu, which dates back to the 11th century and was the most important martial art of the samurai. Kenjutsu was practised by many famous swordsmen, such as Miyamoto Musashi, author of The Book of Five Rings.
