What is Japanese Jujutsu? "Traditional jujitsu is actually the parent art of judo, aikido and several styles of karate. In essence, jujitsu is a blend of all three because it's the traditional source of all three." Black Belt Magazine (March 2019) Along with the well-documented character and confidence-building aspects of learning a martial art, and of course the physical benefits, our martial arts focuses on budo taijutsu which translates as the “body movement of the warrior way”. The foundation is a proven system of unarmed self-defence - strikes, throws and grappling, and is effective against both armed and unarmed attacks from a stronger or larger opponent. Students are also trained in traditional Japanese weaponry such as sword, staff and other hand-held weapons with a strong emphasis on using your environment and surroundings to help you stay safe.
