Regular Jitsu -Beginners Always Welcome
In a typical class, mixture of restraint, weapons, grappling, striking (pad work) and grab release techniques will be taught. The main focus of these sessions is self protection, although Sport Jitsu is covered as it is a great tool for fitness and enabling a student to practice their techniques in a competitive environment. The Self Defence techniques are taught in the manor of “anything goes” while using reasonable force and understanding your environment. For example the possibility of encountering a situation with any of the following: weapons, multiple attackers, etc. with the main aim to remove yourself from a problematic/dangerous engagement as soon as possible, minimising injuries to yourself, friends and/or family. The techniques are based from a martial arts system that obeys the principal that minimal force should produce maximum results, hence allowing a much weaker person to defeat/restrain a much stronger opponent.
Sport Jitsu - Beginners Always Welcome
Sport Jitsu, involves grappling (floor and standing), pad work and sparring, where only one opponent is considered and we fight/spar according to a set of agreed rules. Again the same principal is observed that we focus on increasing technical ability while also performing drills to increase fitness. Southampton Jitsu has competitions throughout the year, which include MMA, BJJA Nationals, Grappling, etc.
