Authentic Japanese Jujutsu for Self-Defence

We run classes in authentic jujutsu from Japan, tried and tested in the samurai era and applicable to modern self-defence scenarios. 
When executed correctly good jujutsu does not require a great deal of physical strength or athleticism to be effective. Traditional jujutsu training teaches biomechanical principles that anyone can learn. Utilising the centre of mass (tandem), effective combative distance (maai) and posture (tachi shisei) are some of the principles we use to overcome larger and stronger opponents. We also emphasize mental training for coping under pressure, such as zanshin 残心 a critical concept in Japanese martial arts and among the samurai. Gradually the student not only develops in skill and fitness but also in confidence, physically and mentally, for self-defence.
