About
The Street Self Defense University
Vee Arnis Jitsu, Vee Jitsu Ryu, and Vee Jitsu Te, where the thoughts of Prof Vee manifested into some of the most efficient systems of Street self-defense. Today Vee Arnis Jitsu is the tree that stands tall from the seeds of Prof. Vee. It is the final name given to the style of Ju Jitsu, developed by Florendo Visitacion better known as Professor Vee. It is a truly efficient, dynamic, and complete fighting art with an emphasis on street self-defense. It combines the strikes, joint locks, breaks, throws, rolls, falls, comes along, and ground movements including grappling taken from Judo/Ju-Jitsu. Vee Jitsu being a street smart style incorporates techniques such as striking from the closest point, motion causes motion, and the Ten Commandments of Self-defense.
To further strengthen and improve the system, Prof. Vee devised a series of fifteen two-person short forms called “Vee Jitsu Te’s”. This is part of the foundation of the Vee Jitsu system, with multiple variations to each of the fifteen forms. What this does is give a student calculated options for self-defense situations, and made it more fluid; in order to prepare for the realities of street confrontations. Students are rigorously drilled in class to bring about spiritual, and physical strength. 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 Grandmaster 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. Vee Arnis Jitsu is for everyone no matter your age. You don’t need years to learn to defend yourself.
In his more then 30 years’ experience, Instructor David James at Vee-Arnis Jitsu School of Self-Defense has taught a variety of law enforcement and corrections professionals. He has contributed to many other self-defense systems by welcoming their head instructors for defensive skills enhancement.
In the 1970s, James’ attention shifted to more practical forms of self-defense. He began studying the Vee Jitsu Ryu system under Shihan Lou Ferrer in Brooklyn. Later, James had the opportunity to learn and train directly under the founder of the system, Professor Vee, and become his protege. Eventually, he inherited his present position as Chief Instructor.
Instructor James, who in 1993 was voted “Instructor of the Year” and inducted into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame, believes that Vee Arnis Jitsu is one of the few martial arts that does not live in the past. “It offers more than most fighting systems,” he says, “because it is practical in real-life situations, quick to learn, and easy to apply.”
