This art form was developed by tibetan monks approximately 4000 years ago as buddhism spread throughout Asia. Atemi Jitsu made its to Japan ,where it was preserved. Today, we are very lucky to have this ancient art form in America due in part to the efforts of Grandmaster Irving Soto, 10th degree black belt and world champion and 8-time world kumite champion, and the highest authority in atemi jujitsu Soto-Ryu.
