I Go Ryu Jiu Jitsu

Jiu Jitsu, is a collective name for Japanese martial art styles including unarmed and armed techniques, literally meaning the "art of softness". Jiu Jitsu or Ju Jutsu evolved from a self defense method or art among the samurai of feudal Japan as a fighting method for defeating an armed and armored opponent without weapons. Due to the ineffectiveness of striking against an armored opponent, the most efficient methods for neutralizing an enemy took the form of pins, joint locks, and throws. These techniques were developed around the principle of using an attacker's energy and force against him, rather than directly opposing it. Today a principle commonly used in most Martial Arts Systems. There are many variations of the art, which leads to a diversity of approaches. Jiu Jitsu schools (ry? = school in Japanese) may utilize all forms of grappling techniques to some degree (i.e. throwing, trapping, joint locks, holds, gouging, disengagements, striking, and kicking). In addition to unarmed combat, many schools teach also the use of weapons. Today, Jiu Jitsu is practiced in both centuries-old and modern sport forms. Derived sport forms include the Olympic sport and Martial Art of Judo, modern Ju Jutsu, Sambo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The modern Jiu Jitsu practitioner or competitor wears a Judo like uniform, the Dogi (or short Gi).

What is I Go Ryu Jiu Jitsu?

Contrary to the popular believe the name of the style is not Igors name broken into parts, but that theory does sound good!-) The name comes from I Go, which is an asian chess game played with white and black stones on a grid like board! The goal is to surround the opponent with ones stones and then take them of the board. And so the method of the I Go Ryu Jiu Jitsu style is to have more martial arts and physical skills then the opponent and to be able to “surround“ a possible better skill or physical superiority of the opponent with those extra superior skills on your own.

Igor founded the style over a +20 year competitive period in many different martial arts styles and ~1000s of fights. By keeping only the techiniques and systems that worked in a real life self defense environment or the MMA arena, Igor put together a style that has proven succesful in all arenas of combat and real life. Igor, besides being undefeated in his MMA career, went on to win himself and with his students various tournaments regardless of style or rules, proving how unique the I Go Ryu Jiu Jitsu Style is.
