ence for all ages, including a full training program of Ju-Jitsu, self-defence, weapons and katas. Traditional Martial Arts - Effective Self-Defence

Ju-Jitsu is one of the most comprehensive self-defence systems in the world. It has a wide range of techniques to suit all ages and builds. Ju-Jitsu will teach you how to defend yourself effectively against aggressive and determined attackers. It is one of Japan's oldest martial arts, developed in an era of almost continual warfare. Its techniques were tried and refined in actual combat, with only the very best lasting through to the present day. But don't think that Ju-Jitsu has stayed still though! Its syllabus is expanding all the time to take in the requirements of the modern day. So wide is the Ju-Jitsu syllabus of effective techniques that it doesn't matter your build or experience, there are techniques that will suit you. Ju-Jitsu is effective because it uses scientific principles-not just brute force. Someone pushes you, so you pull them towards you. By using the well developed principles of yielding, the aggressor's strength can be used against them. Ju-Jitsu will really work for you! Ju-Jitsu distracts the attacker with strikes to nerve points that can daze or paralyse, a simple throw can then take him hard to the floor. Ju-Jitsu attacks the aggressors vulnerable joints. A little leverage skilfully applied will bring the strongest attacker to their knees. Ju-Jitsu Techniques are easy to learn

The mechanics of Ju-Jitsu techniques are not difficult to follow. The average person who knows nothing about martial arts will quickly learn highly effective techniques in as few as 12 lessons! Only one evening a week will guarantee you some degree of competence. Our expert coaches are trained to teach effectively and safely.
