Since the Seven Samurai and Bruce lee films, martial arts have enjoyed ever increasing popularity in the west. A recent surge of interest in health and fitness added to a growing concern with violence and crime, has highlighted the benefits of mental and physical discipline afforded by these activities. Sensei John Sevasta has been practising the method of Ju Jitsu for more than 20 years. I say "method" because as sensei John constantly points out one must make a distinction between Ju Jitsu and its several derivatives. Ju Jitsu was never intended as a sport. Neither is it a discipline leading to spiritual improvement. Personally, says sensei John, "I consider martial arts as systems of combat and self-defence that lead to discipline and a better understanding of the self. John Sevasta is not only a qualified Ju Jitsu instructor, but also a hard-boiled martial arts enthusiast. He takes a keen interest in local and foreign developments, writes occasional articles and is generally very well-informed on the subject.
