What's the difference between BJJ and Japanese Ju Jutsu?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a popular, modern sport version of Ju Jutsu with no strikes and around 90% groundwork in competition.
Japanese Ju Jutsu is its origin, a martial art which was founded 100's of years ago as a self defence method. It contains Punches, Kicks, Throws, holds, weapons, submissions, pressure points and meditation.
Is there evidence that studying martial arts is good for you?
Yes. In the last couple of decades, more scientific research has been undertaken and the results show that, the study of traditional martial arts is good for positive mental attitude, discipline and respect, not just the physical benefits.

"The Effect of Traditional Martial Arts Training on Children's Aggressiveness"
(1986)
by Zivin et al.
Children who participated in martial arts training showed significant decreases in aggressiveness compared to the control group. Additionally, they exhibited better behaviour in school and more respect for authority.
"Martial Arts Intervention Decreases Aggression in Children with Behavioural Problems" (2018) by Twemlow et al
Training led to significant reductions in aggressive behaviour and improvements in self-regulation and empathy. The study emphasized the role of martial arts in teaching respect, self-discipline, and conflict resolution.
"Martial Arts Training as a Mental Health Intervention for Children?"
(2001) by Lakes & Hoyt
Children involved in martial arts showed improved self-regulation, including better emotional control, greater attention, and more persistence in challenging tasks. These behavioural improvements were linked to the structured, disciplined environment of martial arts.
We have also provided Martial Art demonstrations at:
* Hyperjapan * *MCM Comicon* *Kensington Olympia* *Earl's Court*

Self defence is an important skill to learn and our confidence building, anti-bullying and autism ally messages are just as important as the physical aspects we practice at the club.
We welcome all new members, children, students and other adults alike.
