What
do our classes involve?
 We think that the purpose of Martial Arts is to empower people to follow their hearts and live their lives free from the fear of physical oppression or manipulation, able to live life as they choose governed by an internal philosophical and moral virtue. The journey of martial arts is one that asks us to look inwards to find a shining voice that calls us on-wards when times are difficult and the way forward is unclear. We teach a modern eclectic form of Japanese Jujutsu, called 12-Phases Hoshinden Jutaijutsu It is a modern street-martial art, and not a sport. We
are interested in personal growth and the wonderful
maturity that comes from studying an art-form and we do
not take part in tournaments or competitions.
We
focus on using martial arts to assist students in
discovering their natural sense of self belief and the
strength that comes from within themselves.
 YOUNG
TEENS CLASSES (ages 10-13)Our Young Teens' classes teach students the basics of Jujutsu, locks and controls, defenses from modern and traditional weaponry, personal empowerment through voice projection, posture, body structure and realistic modern street-style self defence. Classes focus on
traditional form-based study to refine the
principals of movement. The Teens' classes work in
pairs and study the martial art techniques and
activities with a partner in class, constantly
applying their learning to real-people.
There is a general vibe
of caring compassion in the classes, and the
teachers make a focus on respect of ourselves and
others.
 ADULTS
CLASSES (ages 13-100+)Our Adults' classes teach the same basics as our Teens classes, but take the study of Jujutsu into a more modern approach and begin to look at adult scenarios and themes in philosophical and moral questions that arise in the study of martial arts. Many students fall in
love with particular aspects of class such as
traditional sword-work or fast falling and rolling
skills, and the curriculum is immense and varied,
enough to keep you busy for a decade and then some!
Our teachers bring
their martial art skills and study from many
different backgrounds and the coloured belt grades
prepare students with a good base of modern street
self defence, both unarmed and armed, and set the
student up for more advanced study in their black
belt grades if they choose.
We think it's a lot of fun, and the main thing that you'll hear from all of the classes is laughter. If that sounds like what you've been looking for, for you or your family, then click here to book in for trial classes!
