Rahul wrote- Jiu-Jitsu is an easy way to stay fit During the Jodo Nyaya Yatra, when we were traveling thousands of kilometers, our camp had a routine of Jiu-Jitsu practice every evening. This is an easy way to stay fit. But it soon turned into a community activity. In the cities we stayed at, people participating in the yatra and young martial arts students from those cities joined in. Our aim was to convey the beauty of this gentle art to these youngsters. Meditation is a combination of jiu-jutsu, aikido and non-violent. We want them to have gentleness instead of violence, which can help them build a kinder and safer society. On this National Sports Day, I would like to share my experience with you all, hopefully some of you will be inspired to practice the gentle art. Bharat Dojo Yatra is coming soon. What is DOJO Rahul wrote about Dojo is a kind of martial arts training school. A place where people practice judo, karate or some other martial art. In Japanese, dojo means the way to go.
