| JIU
JITSU [flexible art] is the ancient system of unarmed
combat used by the samurai warriors of feudal Japan. The
techniques involve throwing, locking and striking and can be
applied against attacks from both armed and unarmed
assailants. This results in the martial art of Jiu Jitsu being an extremely
effective form of self-defence.
Classes are taught in a
traditional friendly manner placing a strong emphasis on the
use of opponents' body weights and movements, this allows
Jitsu to be practiced by anyone, of any strength, weight or
gender. In Jiu Jitsu we teach first-rate self-defence,
allowing you to
protect yourself without unnecessarily injuring your opponent.
Since the training is
gradual, little initial physical fitness is required. The
regular sessions improve general endurance, strength,
flexibility, co-ordination, balance and reaction times, as
well as raise self-confidence.
The club has a good
social life with regular trips to the pub after training and
other events like regular visits by the head of style.
Come by
on any session and give it a go, the first session is free.
