Today, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu (also known as Jujutsu) has influenced many modern combat sports and martial arts systems, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), MMA, and Krav Maga. Its versatility makes it highly effective for self-defence, as practitioners learn how to defend themselves standing up, in the clinch, and on the ground.

Jujutsu is particularly respected for its powerful throwing techniques, joint manipulation, control methods, and practical combat applications. Many successful MMA fighters, including Shinya Aoki and Roxanne Modafferi, have used Jujutsu-based techniques as part of their fighting style.
Our Japanese Jiu-Jitsu system preserves the traditional battlefield principles of the Samurai while combining practical modern self-defence training suitable for beginners and experienced martial artists alike.
