Ju-jitsu originated on the feudal battlefields of ancient Japan and was used for the training of Samurai Warriors, the Samaria Warriors were primarily known has horse mounted fighters who used an array of weapons one of which was the sword (Katana), and were dressed in full body armour made from bamboo. The art of Ju Jitsu was taught separately, and was used if the Samurai was unhorsed and disarmed of their weapons. Unarmed, the Samurai would still be in a position to defend themselves against both armed and unarmed attackers, the aim was the same as with all unarmed combat skills, to maim, incapacitate or kill the attacker and escape to fight another day. Undeservedly neglected for some years it is now a highly popular discipline in its own right and is found by many to be the ideal combination of self defence skills and fitness training. Ju-Jitsu today is based on unarmed self-defence. The Art of using the traditional Japanese weapons is still practiced today, and is still considered to be beneficial to the skills base of the Ju Jitsu exponent. However, Ju-Jitsu is geared more towards the street situations in the local towns and cites of today's world. Situations that might be met on the violent streets of today might include; muggers, robbers, rapists, or simply thugs who consider perpetrating violence upon other as fun (bullying)! Ju-Jitsu shows you how to use your body to defend yourself against attackers, with minimal effort and maximum effect. Strength need not be the prime consideration, as utilising locking techniques and knowing where and how to strike, will enable the student to act, and win. The self-confidence that comes with being ready, willing and able to protect yourself, becomes self evident to others, and the attacker is likely to seek out an easier target.

Jiu-Jitsu is the ideal way to keep fit and develop your mind and body and is ideal for children and adults for essential healthy way of life.

Children can start when they are 5 years old.
