About Us

Jiu Jitsu is a Japanese martial art that is great for self-defence, confidence and fitness.

It uses combinations of blocks, strikes, locks, and throws to provide practical defences against real-life situations.

Learn at your own pace in a fun and friendly environment. The emphasis is on training and learning together, rather than sparring and competition.
