The ParaCombatives library is intended as a collection of relevant martial arts materials-- books, manuals, videos, etc.-- for loan to active club members.

Former NU Ju-Jutsu club president Albert originally conceived this resource and contributed the first items. The library will hopefully continue to grow through club-funded purchases as well as through contributions from current and former students.

Currently, library items are only available for loan to club members holding the rank of Rokkyu (Orange Belt) or above. To check out an item from the library, send an email to library@nujujutsu.com or see a club officer before or after class. Items can be checked out until the end of the school year or until someone else requests them.
