Ju jitsu is a practical martial art suitable for persons of any age, shape or size. It generally focuses on applying self defence in today's world, but also embraces more traditional aspects such as kata and weapons. It is a great way of keeping fit, as well as providing you with the skills you may need to defend yourself.

Ju jitsu can be applied in many situations that may be encountered, such as mugging or rape. Training in ju jitsu will show you how you can use your body to the greatest effect in order to defend yourself against assailants, with 'minimum effort for maximum effect'.

Strength and fitness are not the most important aspects (although they do help!), as using blocking, locking and throwing techniques plus knowing how to strike effectively means you can use your opponent's strength against them, allowing you to fight back and win.

The confidence you gain from being able to defend yourself will hopefully show through, and potential attackers are more likely to look for an easier and weaker target.
