Art of using a Japanese bow, known as a yumi. It has its roots in ancient Japan and was practised by samurais as a fundamental skill for warfare. At Yanagi-No-Ki Jiu-Jitsu, we are proud to have one of the only three qualified Yamabushi-Ryu Kyjutsu instructors in the entire UK.
Kyjutsu is not just about shooting arrows, it is a discipline that encompasses physical, mental, and spiritual aspects. It requires focus, concentration, and a deep connexion with oneself and the bow. Our Kyjutsu classes are designed to teach the proper techniques of shooting, including the correct form, breathing, and aiming. Students will also learn about the history and philosophy behind Kyjutsu, creating a well-rounded experience.
In addition to Jiu-Jitsu and Kyjutsu, we also offer self-defence classes for both children and adults. These classes aim to equip individuals with the necessary skills and techniques to protect themselves in real-life situations. Our self-defence classes incorporate elements from various martial arts disciplines, providing a comprehensive approach to personal safety.
