- Shingitai Jujitsu is a form of martial arts created by John Saylor whose philosophy teaches that shin comprises the mental facet of the art. This also encompasses the "fighting heart" of the Shingitai exponent. The word gi means technique. The Shingitai exponent must make a thorough and realistic technical study. The word tai refers to the body and to the importance of physical fitness in Shingitai Jujitsu. Jujitsu is a fighting art and requires a body that can react when necessary and can physically adapt to the situation at hand John Saylor was the Head Judo Coach at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He arrived at this prestigious position in 1983 by virtue of his success as an athlete in competitive judo.
- Shingitai is rooted in the classical martial training of emphasizing effectiveness over aesthetics. Function does indeed dictate the form in Shingitai Jujitsu and its primary objective is to offer realistic, effective self-defense training.
