Vee Jitsu is the signature name given to the style of Ju
Jitsu, developed by Florendo Visitacion better known as Professor
Vee. It is a truly efficient, dynamic, and brutal fighting
art with an emphasis on street self-defense. It combines the
strikes, joint locks, breaks, throws, rolls, falls, come alongs,
and ground movements including grappling taken from Judo/Ju
Jitsu. Vee Jitsu being a street savvy style incorporates techniques
such as groin kicks, biting, pinching, and eye gouging.
To further enhance and improve the system, Prof. Vee devised
a series of fifteen two-person short forms called "Vee
Jistu Te's". This is the core of the Vee Jitsu system,
with multiple variations to each of the fifteen forms. What
this does is give a student endless responses to self-defense
situations. In order to prepare for the realities of street
confrontations, students are rigorously drilled in class.
They are paired with different people with heights and weights
that vary. An individual now has a precise understanding of
what will work against larger or smaller opponents in a given
situation.
Vee Jitsu is the culmination of many years of study by Grandmaster
Vee. In his evolution of study and practice, Professor Vee
was constantly refining his Ju Jitsu. In its most useable
form, Professor Vee's current system of Vee Arnis Jitsu is
the "best of the best". The system has elements
of other fighting systems with movements taken from Kung-Fu,
Karate, and Aikido. This is infused with the Filipino art
of Arnis, specializing in stick and knife techniques with
the fluid foot movements known to the art. The result is the
most outstanding effective street self-defense system ever
developed
Arnis
The powerful weapons and empty-hand martial art of Arnis
makes up the second major component of Vee Arnis Jitsu. Basics
of this Filipino art are taught to students in the form of
the "Fifteen Dimensions" and "Patterns-of-Twelve"
drills. Arnis is taught in Vee Arnis Jitsu, and is based on
Cinco Terro or Five Angles of Attack. Cinco Terro is the most
effective form of attack and defense known in Arnis, compared
to other forms such as Dos Manos, Ocho-Ocho, or Carrenza in
different systems of Arnis. It gives students a very easy
and effective means of defending themselves. Sinawali drills
are also included within the curriculum. Footwork drills such
as Paqua Circular stepping, forward and backward motion, and
"V and X stepping" movements are taught to students
as well. The use of single and double sticks is thoroughly
drilled with a variety of different hand positions and grips.
The art of knife fighting is taught right along side with
the stick training. Knife weapons training places great emphasis
on rapid continuous repetition of the "Cinco Terro"
and other striking drills as a means of developing speed and
mobility. In addition, hand to eye coordination and timing
are improved. Various attacks, defenses, grips, and body movements
are taught with the knife. Kuntao which is a subsystem taught
within or along side of Arnis teaches the use of low-line
kicks and leg destructions. Arnis is believed to be a weapons
only art, but in Vee Arnis Jitsu students are fully trained
in empty hand techniques using: hands, fingers, elbows, knees,
feet, and the head. Concepts such as High-Low, Faking, and
Bouncing are also used. Most importantly students are taught
to master the movements of the weapons, not just the stick
and knife itself. To round out the Arnis program, students
are allowed to spar full contact using single and double sticks
including practice knives. Full protection in the form of
helmets, body armor, forearm, and hand protection are always
used. Students are given the ability to fully practice techniques
with power and precision.
