Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the original thought which existed in Jujitsu from a view point of the Oriental Medicine.
In the Edo era, an original thought was required in the process of the systematizing Jujitsu to exist as a culture. In order to clarify the original thought, its combination with Medicine is focused as a point of view.
In China, Martial arts and Medicine were considered as a concept of body which was closely related to the Care of Health Thought (Yojo-Thought) in Dokyo. This means that Martial arts had a potential to be the Method of Care of Health (Yojo-Ho) e. g. Taichi (Taikyokuken).
Japanese Jujitsu, which had the Yoshin-Ryu as a school of typical example, adopted a lot of Medical knowledge and thought. At that time since Japanese Medicine, it seems that the Care of Health Thought (Yojo-Thought) flowed into Jujitsu.
