Come Along and give it a try - FIRST LESSON FREE  to new starters.

The club has a very open attitude toward training, with self defence techniques and playing a major part in the training scheme. Much attention is paid to the correct application of techniques during classes, and to the various ways that each technique might be applied to different attacks.

Many of the training techniques are simple, but nevertheless highly effective, and are based upon utilising the way the human body works. This effectively gives the student an advantage, even where the attacker is physically bigger and stronger. Kicks and punches are broken down and analysed to ensure clean, consistent strikes with maximum effect. Special attention is given to the areas of the body where such strikes will be most effective.

 The club has a very sociable side, with many members retiring to the pub for a drink and a chat after training. There are also events held during the year where members get together.

He says:   "To me Ju Jitsu is more than just another Martial Art, it is a complete self defence system based on sound principles and a syllabus which builds confidence, skill and reflexes. I feel that I have a responsibility to make each student the best he or she can be, and to give them a practical skill that will equip them to deal with an attack, should this ever occur." 

"As with many people I enjoy Martial Arts movies, but I am quite critical. The more spectacular the move in the film, the more unlikely it is to work in a real life situation. If these films stimulate interest, then I feel that this is positive, but no one should be under any illusions if they come along to one of my classes. What they will learn will be simple, practical and effective martial arts training - that is what real self defence is about."

 "I would never rubbish other disciplines within the Martial Arts world, each has a role to play. Some teach a philosophy, moral code and a lifestyle, which encourages a deeper understanding of self. This can be very uplifting, but it can take many years to attain the desired plateau of inner strength. Other systems may concentrate on striking and kicking, and emphasis may be placed on the 'One Strike Finish', however the ability to incapacitate an opponent with one blow is a skill that very few achieve. This is not to say that Ju Jitsu is an easy option, to reach a high level still takes many years of dedicated training, however, practical techniques can be imparted in a relatively short time, which allow a measured and effective response to attack. This is the beauty of Ju Jitsu the marriage of an art which allows the novice to quickly be in a position to mount a defence, whilst still holding new and exciting techniques for even high grades to practice and master. There truly is no end to the Art."

There are concessions for Students, the disabled and the Unemployed. The classes are held in the Dojo, which is matted, and allows space for weapons and sparring.  Initially the only clothing required is a pair of jogging bottoms or a leotard, and a T-shirt.

 For further details, feel free to come along to the classes any Monday evening, or Contact Us.
