This article is written to give you clear, practical information so you can decide if Japanese Jiu Jitsu is right for you or your family.

What Is Japanese Jiu Jitsu?

Japanese Jiu Jitsu is a traditional martial art focused on practical self-defence. It teaches students how to manage situations using balance, control, and technique rather than strength. You can learn more about the specifics by clicking here.

Training typically includes:

• Safe falling and movement

• Escapes from grabs and holds

• Throws and takedowns

• Joint locks and control techniques

• Awareness, restraint, and discipline

Because of this approach, Japanese Jiu Jitsu is suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities.
