In plain words
A visual guide to learning Jujutsu presents instructional content through drawings and diagrams created in Excalidraw. The guide covers the first two chapters of a jujutsu curriculum and is currently in draft form. It is designed for people interested in learning jujutsu techniques through visual instruction rather than text alone. The maker is seeking feedback on the early chapters to help develop the complete guide.
