profiilijuurta

Profiilijuurta, also known as profile jujitsu, is a form of self-defense that focuses on the use of the body's natural movements and angles to avoid or counter an attacker's strikes. It was developed by Brazilian martial artist and actor, Rigan Machado, who sought to create a practical and effective system for real-world self-defense scenarios. The name "profiilijuurta" is derived from the Finnish words "profiili," meaning profile, and "juurta," meaning root, reflecting the technique's emphasis on using one's body's natural angles and leverage.

The core principles of profiilijuurta revolve around the concept of "profile defense," which involves positioning oneself in a way that exposes the attacker's body to counterattacks while minimizing the risk of injury. This is achieved through a series of controlled movements and angles that allow the practitioner to redirect or neutralize an attacker's strikes. Profiilijuurta also incorporates elements of ground fighting, joint locks, and submissions, providing a well-rounded approach to self-defense.

One of the key advantages of profiilijuurta is its practicality and effectiveness in real-world situations. The techniques are designed to be simple, intuitive, and easy to learn, making them accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels. Profiilijuurta has gained popularity in recent years due to its emphasis on practical self-defense and its effectiveness in real-world scenarios. It has been taught in various countries and has been featured in martial arts competitions and demonstrations.
