What is Jitsu?

Jitsu is a martial art based on a moving system of throwing, locking and striking.
Better than that, you don’t need to be big, strong or fit to start (although you will get fitter).
It is great as a martial art, or just for self-defence if that’s all your looking for.
With Jitsu you will learn defences against un-armed attacks: punches, kicks, being grabbed hold of; and armed attacks: knives, coshes, bottles, even chains and chairs!

Jitsu is great at dealing with modern day violent situations and teaching you how to get out of them safely. And what we teach will give you a range of options from getting yourself into the position where you can just walk away (if someone has grabbed you drunkenly on the dance floor) to putting someone on the floor and restraining them there until the police arrive (if someone has tried to mug you for example)
We teach you to deal with all sorts of attacks, from people grabbing hold of you, to trying to punch or kick you, to even more serious situations where your attacker has weapons, or where there is more than one of them.

We also teach the basics of how to use a sword, batton or bo (6’ long pole)

You can learn the basics of self-defence with Jitsu, how to get out of dangerous situations and what you can do if you are attacked.
If you are looking for a more serious martial art we do that too. You will learn more about how the body moves and how it works, the better to use it against itself with your opponent.

There are courses and competitions (although we are not competition orientated) both Nationally and Regionally, so you get a chance to meet lots of people from other Jitsu clubs across the region and country.
