Japanese Ju-Jitsu is a powerful and complete martial art, developed over 1,000 years ago by the samurai for survival in battle. Unlike Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), which focuses mainly on ground fighting, traditional Japanese Ju-jitsu teaches a well-rounded system of strikes, throws, joint locks, and self-defense techniques for real-world situations.
Whether you're looking to defend yourself, get fitter, or challenge yourself mentally and physically, Japanese Ju-Jitsu offers practical skills that anyone can learn, regardless of age or fitness level.
Why Train in Japanese Ju-Jitsu?
Japanese Ju-Jitsu is designed for real-world self-defense and teaches you how to handle standing and ground attacks, even against armed opponents. Training includes:
✔ Throws and takedowns to control and disable attackers
✔ Joint locks and chokes to subdue opponents quickly
✔ Striking techniques for effective self-defense
✔ Escapes from grabs, holds, and dangerous situations
More Than Just Self-Defense
Training in Japanese Ju-Jitsu is about more than just learning how to fight—it’s about becoming stronger, more confident, and healthier in every aspect of life. Regular training helps improve:
✔ Mobility & Flexibility – move more efficiently and reduce injury risk
