Ju-Jitsu is a martial art that emphasises technique over brute force. Although it originated in mediaeval Japan, Ju-Jitsu has gained popularity among police and armed forces as a practical form of self-defence applicable to today's society. Our Ju-Jitsu skills can be applied by men, women, and children to counter aggressive situations, ranging from harassment to armed physical assault. The art revolves around a system of throws, joint locks, and strikes based on the principle of using an aggressor's negative energy to their disadvantage.
Onna Ju-Jitsu Club also hosts annual championships competitions, allowing students to showcase their skills and progress through various belt levels. We provide comprehensive training programmes for both senior and junior belts, ensuring continuous growth and development for our students.
