OUR CLASSES

We teach a variety of different skills in a friendly, safe and disciplined environment.

We teach and promote inclusion as an essential part of our syllabus. 
Our syllabus is based on our unique SD3 program: Self Defence, Self Discipline, Self Development.
Whilst firmly rooted in traditional style Ju Jutsu, we are heavily influenced by modern day application and self defence.

  • Why train in martial arts?

    The training is both practical, and fun. We help to promote:

    • Healthy, regular exercise
    • Self defence
    • Self awareness
    • Self discipline
    • Respect for others

  • Do you need experience?

    No, we take absolute beginners as well as experienced people. Our expert instructors know how to help you, regardless of what your experience level or ability might be to start with.

  • 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* 

*O2 Arena*  *ExCel London* *NEC Birmingham*

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.
