Ju-Jitsu Classes
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
 
Jujitsu in ancient Japan was a battlefield art containing elements of combat, both psychological and physical. At Kenshinkan we develop the person as much as the body to ensure that our students are prepared in the martial way for whatever life throws at them.
 
We study all the elements of combat:
 
  • Striking (kicking, punching and close quarters skills)
 
  • Throwing (sweeps, throws and takedowns)
 
  • Grappling (both standing and on the ground)
 
We have a set syllabus which helps students on the journey towards their black belt, with formal gradings with strictly marked sections so students can review their progress regularly. Our syllabus is progressive so students can learn at their own rate, with as much help as they need.
 
Free sparring and grappling, plus standing randori help students to develop control over adrenaline, learning in a stepped fashion to manage fear and negative emotions which then allows them to be assertive without aggression in all areas of their lives.
 
Mike and Clare, who run the school, have been married for 27 years and most of that they have spent fighting (often each other!). They have both been awarded 5th Degree black belts in Goshin Ryu Jujitsu making them very senior grade instructors. As well as this both Mike and Clare have 3rd Degree black belts in Shukokai Karate and hold brown belts in Judo. Clare also studies Gracie Jiujitsu and also has an assistant instructor award in Krav Maga.
 
We train hard at Kenshinkan but we train safe, and we never forget training should be fun. Come on down and try for yourself, and take what is the hardest step - walking through the door for the first time. You will be very welcome.
