Traditional Jujutsu and Non-Traditional
In Indonesia, there are several colleges Jujutsu / Ju-Jitsu is quite popular. In many big cities can be found universities Jujutsu / Ju-Jitsu, among others PORBIKAWA (Ishikawa Martial Sports Association), founded by the Disciples Single Master Yoshen Ishikawa namely Bp. Tan Sing Tjay (Soetikno) in 1949 with the name: Ishikawa Jiu Jitsu Club. Education Jiujitsu Club Indonesia (JCI), founded by Bp. Ferry Sonneville in 1953, Ju-Jitsu college Institute of Indonesia (Iji) with founder-founders: Drs. Word Sitompul (AND X) and Prof. Inspector General Drs. DPM. Sitompul, SH., MH (AND X) in 1982, the college Goshinbudo Jujutsu Indonesia (GBI), which was founded by Bp. Ir. C.A. Park M. Eng, Nanadan-Shihan Renshi and Bp. Ben Haryo S. Psi, M. Si, Godan-Shihan in the 1990s, college Take Sogo Budo founded by Bp. Hero Pranoto in 1995, and college Samurai Jujutsu Indonesia (SJJI) established by Bp. Budi Martadi or Epher martadi in 2000.
College PORBIKAWA, JCI, Iji and Take Sogo Budo martial arts have developed various new techniques tailored to the nation of Indonesia, for example by combining the techniques of other martial arts into silabusnya and creating new techniques that are better suited to self-defense situation in Indonesia. So-called independent institution and not bound by the traditions of the country of origin of Jujutsu (Japanese).
A different approach is taken by the College Goshinbudo Jujutsu Indonesia (GBI) is affiliated with the JKF-Wadokai (Wado wing) and Dentokan Sekai Renmei (wing Hakko-ryu) [1] while the Samurai Jujutsu Indonesia (SJJI) affiliated with the Bujinkan Ninpo Indonesia [2]. The two universities over the wing of traditional Jujutsu / pure, because his movement is based on Japanese Jujutsu techniques in the original, unaltered or local innovation of the existing members in Indonesia. In college GBI for example, teaches waza (techniques) derived from the Hakko-ryu Jujutsu, Wado-ryu and Yoshin-ryu Jujutsu, SJJI While in college, taught techniques of Hontai Takagi Yoshin-ryu Jujutsu, Asayama Ichiden-ryu Jujutsu and some flow other. So the college is referred to as Jujutsu a traditional or "orthodox".
Typical traditional Jujutsu, among others, are no match format / competition, and still in a relationship with the Hombu Dojo (main dojo) in the country of origin of Jujutsu, which is Japanese. While modern Jujutsu (such as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu from Brazil) usually emphasize on the match / competition and has no organizational ties with their home country (Japan).
Some people outside the Japanese Jujutsu expert there who developed flow beladirinya own art, which later was named Jujutsu to explain that although the flow is created outside of Japan, but originally came from the Japanese martial arts. Martial Ketsugo Ju-Jitsu (Jujutsu), for example, created its own by prof. Harold Brosious from USA after studying Japanese Jujutsu and perform a variety of development. Likewise, Small Circle Ju-Jitsu which was created by prof. Wally Jay.

Jiu Jitsu
Jujutsu (Japanese: 柔 术, Jujutsu, also jujitsu, ju jutsu, ju jitsu, or jiu jitsu) is the name of some sort of Japanese martial arts stream. It is not correct to say that Ju-Jitsu refers to one kind of self-defense only.
Jujutsu is basically a form of self defense is defensive and take advantage of "Yawara-gi" or techniques that are flexible, where the attack of the opponent are not faced with force, but by way of "cheating" opponent for the attack power can be used to beat himself. From this Jujutsu martial arts, was born a few other martial arts that have a similar defensive concept, namely aikido and judo, both also from Japan.
Jujutsu consists of a variety of flow (Ryuha), but the outline is divided into two "styles", namely traditional and modern. Movement of the two kinds of "style" Jujutsu is almost the same, but modern Jujutsu moves have been adapted to the situation of self defense in modern times, while the traditional Jujutsu moves usually reflect the current situation of self-defense in the respective created stream Jujutsu. For example, Jujutsu which was created in the Sengoku Jidai era (prior to the Tokugawa Shogunate in power) emphasized the fight on the battlefield by wearing armor (called yoroi Kumi Uchi), while those created in the Edo period (after the Tokugawa Shogunate in power) emphasis on self-defense using everyday wear (Suhada Jujutsu).
Jujutsu techniques to outline consisting of atemi waza (attacking the weak part of the opponent's body), kansetsu waza / gyakudori (joint locking the opponent) and nage waza (knockdown). Each flow Jujutsu has his own way to perform the techniques mentioned above. The techniques are born of self-defense method of the Samurai (warrior ancient war) when they lost his sword, or do not want to use the sword (eg because they do not want to injure or kill the opponent).
The flow of the oldest in Japanese Jujutsu is the Takenouchi-ryu, founded in 1532 by Prince Takenouchi Hisamori. Other streams include the famous Shindo Yoshin-ryu, founded by Matsuoka Katsunosuke in 1864, Daito-ryu, founded by Takeda Sokaku in 1892, Hakko-ryu, founded Okuyama Ryuho in 1942, and many other streams.

BRIEF HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT BENJANG Martial Arts
There is a feature in the game banjang, as well as have the techniques that turn off lockdown, benjang have a unique and clever techniques or in certain circumstances can also be said in terms of cunning martial arts, for example in mulung technique is if the opponent will be dropped down, then when position above, the opponent that the lift had to quickly change the position by ngabeulit foot fishing opponent for the drop will follow the direction imposed, so that elevates its position reversed to below after that had raised direct to lock his opponent does not move.
According to the opinion of one of the elders who lived in the village benjang Cibolerang Cinunuk Bandung, that the name benjang already known by the public since 1820, benjang famous figure at that time, among others, H. Hayat and Wiranta. Then he explained the origin is from the village benjang Ciwaru Ujungberung, there is also a mention of Cibolerang Cinunuk, was second this area until now is a gathering place benjang figures, they try to maintain for benjang remain and sustainable, the current figure benjang which still exist, among others Adung, Adang, Ujang Rukman, Nadi, Emun, and there's more that any other figure who has not been the author noted.
As we know that our beloved country is rich with culture and art district. This is evident each region has its own art (typical), such as benjang is one of the traditional cultural arts of West Java, especially in Bandung Regency in the area of another party and it turns out there is a kind of traditional cultural arts benjang, such as in Aceh called Gedou - gedou, in Tapanuli (North Sumatra) is called Marsurangut, in the Apex area called the Atoll, in the East Java region called Patol, in an area called Bahempas Banjarmasin, in the Bugis / Sulsel called Sirroto, and in West Java called Benjang.
Benjang is a form of traditional games that are categorized as types of folk performances. The game is growing (living) around the District Ujungberung, Cibolerang, and Cinunuk the beginning of this art comes from boarding school, which is a kind of traditional art bernapaskan religious (Islamic), connected with religion, benjang can be used as a medium or tool to get closer to Kholiqnya because before the show, players benjang always carry out the procedure by reading a prayer - pray for the survivors in benjang show no interference. The tools used in benjang consist of Flying, drum (drum), Pingprung, Kempring, kempul, kecrek, trumpet (Tarompet), and also equipped with drum and song sunda.
From boarding school, this art spread to people in the community are usually held within 40 days of ceremonies to commemorate the birth of a baby, thanksgiving rice harvest, the prophet's birthday, ritual circumcision, marriage, and other entertainment, and can also accompany the motion to be on the so-called "DOGONG" .
Dogong is a game to encourage each other by using a pestle (wooden pestle rice). From Dogong evolved into "SEREDAN" which means pressing each game without tools, which lost out of the arena (field), then from Seredan turned into fighting back, is still urging each other to push the opponent out of the arena game without tools, memdorong opponent with shoulder, is not allowed to use hands, because in this game violations often occur, especially when the player is almost pushed out of the arena. With the frequent violation is done then the game was replaced by fighting back fighting game munding.
Benjang game is actually an outgrowth of adu adu munding or buffalo which is more directed to the game of wrestling with chokes opponent movement (light socket). While the race did not munding menyerat - menyerat opponent out of the arena but encouraging in a way bent (crawl) urged his opponent with a head like munding (buffalo) fight. But the movement fighting back, or fighting someone munding remain a force in the game benjang. Munding fighting game using the head to urge opponents, felt very dangerous, that style is now rarely used in the show benjang. Participants benjang game until now only played by men, especially teenagers (single), but for people aged lanjutpun have allowed the origin of courage and hobbies.
If we compare the development of ancient times to the present benjang in principle there is no such striking differences, just matches benjang ancient times, when players enter the arena benjang usually like to show ibingan with wearing a sarong while accompanied by distinctive traditional music, then after dealing with the enemy they opened their sarongs, following which she was wearing underwear on stage, the only remaining shorts only signify him clean, do not bring a tool (sportsmanship). After that, drummers musical instruments benjang tabuhannya vigorously rang the rhythm Bamplang (padungdung sort of martial arts in the rhythm), then after hearing the music began the match benjang, in this game because there is no referee may be among the players there is a cunning or cheating that could result in injury to his opponent. If there is a player benjang his position was under the game should be dismissed because his opponent has given up. However, because no one leading the game (referee) at last opponent could not be locked until a show of hands, which means his opponent playing dirty, if players are cheating benjang was caught by parties who feel aggrieved will cause noise (chaos), mainly from the audience, but if the players benjang it compete with the clean and sporty then the losers will accept it despite injury, because the previous games already know the rules benjang if one is injured there will be no charges. A player benjang declared lost after being under the supine position, seeing a sign like that immediately dismiss the match referee and the opponent who had lost the back (now). Match benjang like ancient times is not done anymore, because now there are referees who led the match, and performed on stage wearing a kind of mattress pads that are not so dangerous player benjang (handyman benjang).
While the techniques and theory benjang from ancient times until today remains the same unchanged, techniques and theory commonly held by benjang benjang carpenters, among others:

b. Beulit Hareup,
c. Beulit Hyacinths,
3. Dobelson
4. Dead ankle
5. Lift
6. Dengkekan
7. Hapsay (ngagebot), etc.

Capoeira
Capoeira is a martial art developed by African slaves in Brazil around the year 1500's. Dance-like movements in capoeira and dotted heavily on kicks. The fight in capoeira is usually accompanied by music and called Jogo. Capoeira is often criticized because many people doubted its worth in real combat, compared to other martial arts such as karate or taekwondo.
Capoeira is a traditional martial system founded in Brazil by African slaves brought by the Portuguese to Brazil to work on large plantations. In ancient times they were put through exercises to the accompaniment of traditional musical instruments, such as the berimbau (a wooden arch with strings that has been hit with a small timber for menggetarkannya) and atabaque (large drum), and is also easier for them to hide the practice them in various activities such as pleasure in the feast made by the slaves at their residence named senzala. When an escaped slave he will be chased by a "hunter" named professional armed capitães-do-Mato (captain forest). Usually capoeira is the only martial arts used by slaves to defend themselves. The fight they usually occur in the field in the forest in Tupi-Guarani language (one of the indigenous languages in Brazil), called CAA-puêra - some historians argue that this is the origin of the name of the martial arts. Those who had fled villages gather in the fenced named quilombo, in places difficult to reach. Quilombo Palmares of the most important thing is that where the population never reached totaling ten thousand and last until approximately sixty years against the powers that want to invade them.
Chairman of the their most popular named Zumbi. When the law to eliminate slavery emerged and Brazil began to import workers white workers from countries such as Portugal, Spain and Italy to work in agriculture, many negroes had to migrate to cities to live, and because many of those who do not have a job started to become criminals. Capoeira, which had become an urban and began to learn by white people, in cities like Rio de Janeiro, Salvador da Bahia and Recife, began to be viewed by the public as a game of criminals and street people, the law appears to prohibit Capoeira. It seems at this time that they start using a razor in a fight, this is the influence of capoeira player who comes from Portugal and sing the Fado (traditional Portuguese music that is similar to keroncong). At that time also some sectors of the elite Brazilian racist shouting against the influence of African culture in the country, and wanted to "whiten" their country. After about half a century in a clandestine, and people mepelajarinya hidden in the streets and in the pages behind the house, Manuel dos Reis Machado, the Master (Mestre) Bimba, held a show for the Getúlio Vargas, president of Brazil at the time it, and this is a new beginning for capoeira. Starting established academies, that the public can learn capoeira game. The names of the most important at that time was Vicente Ferreira Pastinha (The Teacher Pastinha), who teaches the school of "Angola", a very traditional, and Mestre Bimba, who founded the flow with some innovations that he called the "Regional".
Since that time until the present capoeira through a long journey. Today capoeira studied almost all over the world, from Portugal to Norway, the United States to Australia, from Indonesia to Japan. In Indonesia capoeira already known to many people, in addition to an existing group in Yogyakarta, also there are some groups in Jakarta. Many players who are interested in learning capoeira because the environment is so relaxed and happy, is not the same harsh discipline that is usually contained in the system of martial arts from the East. As once said by a great writer Jorge Amado of Brazil, this "battle of the most beautiful in the whole world, because this is also a dance." In capoeira basic movement techniques starting from "Ginga" and not from the stop position which is characteristic of karate, taekwondo, martial arts, wushu kung fu, etc ...; Ginga body movements are ongoing and aims to find the right time to attack or defend themselves, who are often shy away from attacks. In the wheel of capoeira players to test themselves, pass the game match, in the middle of the circle made by the players of music with African musical instruments and sing various songs, and other players clapped and sang the chorus. Lyrics to the songs of the history of arts, professor at the time of past and present, about life during slavery, and resistance to achieve independence. Style of playing music have different rhythms for a variety of games capoeira, there is a slow and some are fast.
Capoeira is not just become a culture, but also a national sport in Brazil, and the teachers from that country to make capoeira becomes continuously more international, teaching in student groups, a variety of fitness centers, small organizations, etc.. Their students learn to sing the songs of Capoeira with Portuguese language - "Capoeira é pre Homi, / mininu e mulhé ..." (Capoeira for men, / the children and women).
In Indonesia, the same as in other countries, the possibility of Capoeira will be growing.
