The style's called Jew-Jutsu. :D

[zasshu]

Indigenous martial arts systems have always existed in different countries. Currently there are several military MA styles in Israel the most well known being Krav Magra, which looks nothing like what is done in the states. The mentality there is use what works, sort of like JKD.
In biblical time there was a "Book of War" which has long been lost.

I have practiced both Jew-Jitsu and Jew-Dough !

And here I thought that guilt projection, whining, and getting a house in the Hamptons was Jew-ryu. :D

When it's no longer funny.

Did you mean "Anti-Semitic"? or "Anti-Semantic"?

Personally I think Heybrew-ryu has a better lineage than Judao-do, but the splitters that follow the Man from Nazareth have all but taken over the practice halls, with their new-fangled techniques.

The Lancashire traditional style of Ecky-Thump has still got many admirers in this country. There must be combat fans all the world over... surely room for a few new ones.

Well on this board it seems to start with ShitO'Ryu Dude.

Historically Jewish "Guilt" is an internal art that requires many years of devotion, before its passed from mother to son.
While the external guilt half educated Christians (not a stab at the "new" religion many of them are very decent folk) had brought many wonderful things; the inquisition, the 100 years war, the third Reich, and Tammy Faye Baker to name a few.
