Vee Arnis Jitsu
Vee Jitsu is the signature name given to the style of Ju Jitsu, developed by Professor 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 Professor 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.
