		Jujitsu was a complex art> the othe martial arts were also complex, but because they could be organized and limited in their scope they became easier to teach.

	Brief Jujitsu History
		Jujitsu is an ancient art of self-defense that can trace its roots over two thousand years, but as it is a parent art, one cannot delineate a straight line, such as in two of it's "children", Judo and Aikido.
		But the next major phase for jujitsu was in 1882, when Jigoro Kano developed the art of Judo, it was developed into a sport to increase the popularity of the martial arts, and provided a relatively safe sport using selected techniques from several ryu of jujitsu.
		Yoshitoki felt that the jujitsu techniques he had learned were not sufficient in number, so he retreated to Tenmangu Shrine, where he devoted himself to meditation for one hundred days, during which time he developed 303 techniques of his own.
