Jaribu System of Martial Arts Inc.

constant, ever-moving techniques that represent the essence of American life. The Jaribu System teaches total evasion of the opposition. It is based on the continuity of the circle. That is to say, the continuity of circular patterns, as opposed to the accepted so-called straight line. This simply means having the ability to change direction quickly and smoothly, as can only be effected when using circular movements. If the first movement were a straight lined attack, the body would first have to stop for an instant to change its direction; whereas, if the first movement were circular it would not be necessary to break the fluidity of movement. This System has absorbed the most reliable techniques from the martial arts of Africa, China, Korea and Japan (American boxing, Caporei, Jujitsu, Chinese Go-Ju and Akijitsu). Jaribu literally means the "TEST". It incorporates mental, physical as well as spiritual training - in that order - . The student is to become truly aware of ones own development. The mental goal is to help ones self be disciplined so that you may effect your own environment in a constructive way. The physical goal is to take in the muscular exercise of the whole body, and ultimately provide the highest possible coordination for each individual student according to their own ability, or kinetic sense. The spiritual goal is to be at peace with ones self, encompassing the realm of life. The student is to be attuned to everything that is seen as well as that which is not seen. The person in Jaribu will be confident that within their own circle, peace shall prevail. The entire universe of the martial arts are the tools of the Jaribu System and its elitist students.
