DETERMINATION

The defender with body language and marked movements shows determination in his defense.

Balance

Balance means that the defender strive to have full control over its body during the whole defence as he/she puts the attacker off balance.

MOVEMENT

Movement means that the defender uses its entire motion system so that new positions are created to be used for the defence. Correct movement pattern eliminates the need for brutal strength.

SOFTNESS

Softness means that the defender does not use more force than required, but instead accompany or go around the attacker’s force and direction.

PROTECTION

Protection means that the defender protect him/herself during the attack and is prepared in case of another attack. He/she must never be placed in a worse position than at the starting position.

CONSIDERATION

Consideration means that the defender uses the defence that, with respect to the attacker’s age, gender, or physical status and the surrounding environment, seem appropriate and gentlest possible in that particular situation. The Durewall main principles are summarised in Swedish Jujitsu Federation’s basic principle.

“To with minimum force,
achieve maximum impact,
without causing pain or injury “
