Japanese Ju-Jitsu is one of the oldest martial arts in the world, originally developed by the Samurai of feudal Japan. Combining strikes, throws, locks, grappling, and ground control, it was designed as a complete system of combat for use on the battlefield.
Today, Ju-Jitsu continues to influence many modern combat sports and self-defence systems, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), MMA, and Krav Maga. Its versatility makes it highly effective both standing and on the ground, teaching students how to defend themselves in a variety of real-life situations.
Training includes:
- Practical self-defence techniques
- Throws and takedowns
- Joint locks and submission techniques
- Striking and kicking drills
- Ground fighting and grappling
- Fitness, flexibility, and confidence building
Our Japanese Ju-Jitsu style preserves the traditional battlefield principles of the Samurai while adapting techniques for modern self-defence and personal development.
