Small Circle Jujitsu was created by Professor Wally Jay. Prof. Jay took traditional jujitsu techniques and refined them to be more efficient and effective. The system he developed focuses on joint manipulation to control an opponent with maximum results through minimum effort. This system is based on principles rather than forms so that students learn how their techniques effect an opponent and how to properly execute techniques based on principles; rather than learning by copying the movements of others or by performing preset movements. In August of 2002, Leon Jay inherited the Small Circle Jujitsu system from his father, and has since continued the furtherment of Small Circle Jujitsu.
