Sensei Zanda has been involved in martial arts for over 15 years, studying under esteemed instructors and earning various black belts in Japanese Ju Jitsu and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Kaisei Ryu Ju Jitsu, originating from the Samurai, is a more traditional form of martial art that emphasises discipline, technique, and confidence. Classes include body conditioning, falls, rolls, striking techniques, sparring, throws, locks, and defensive weapon techniques designed for real-world scenarios. This training style ensures students learn essential self-defence skills while also improving their physical fitness.
On the other hand, Pacheco Jiu-Jitsu is a Brazilian martial art that focuses primarily on ground fighting. It teaches students how to defend themselves against stronger opponents by utilising leverage and proper technique. The benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu extend far beyond self-defence, including increased self-confidence, energy, strength, flexibility, and mental capacity.
