About
Yoshinkan Dojo Southern England Branch, nestled in Crondall between Fleet and Farnham, is a welcoming spot for anyone keen on traditional Japanese Martial Arts. Founded in 2012, and now in its own fantastic facility, the Dojo stands out for its straightforward and friendly training approach, always conducted with safety in mind.
Ben and the gang invite everyone to join, from complete beginners to seasoned martial artists, no matter your age, size, or fitness level. Their focus isn’t on flashy moves but on practical self-defence that builds real-life skills - both physical and mental - to boost confidence in tricky situations.
Offering classes for both adults and kids, it’s a family-friendly environment where parents and children can learn and grow together. Plus, there’s a chance to go to Japan for training, experiencing the culture and connecting directly with the Hombu Dojo. Yasumoto Soke even pops by to share his wisdom!
While Jujutsu is their main passion, they also dive into Bojutsu (wooden staff techniques) and Kenjutsu/Iaijutsu (Japanese sword techniques). The training integrates these elements, showing how each brings valuable lessons to the table.
Beyond the physical skills, training here improves fitness, flexibility, and posture, while also promoting mental discipline, focus, and stress relief. These benefits enhance overall wellbeing and quality of life.
For genuine Japanese Martial Arts in a friendly and traditional setting, Yoshinkan Dojo Southern England Branch is the place to be. Whether you’re into self-defence, looking to get fit, or eager to experience Japanese culture, Ben and the team have got you covered!
