Japanese Jiu-Jitsu is a comprehensive martial art that encompasses striking, throws, joint locks, and ground work. It focuses on self-defence techniques applicable to real-life situations. We pride ourselves on teaching a holistic approach to combat that sets Japanese Jiu-Jitsu apart from other martial arts.
While both martial arts share common roots, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu have distinct focuses. Japanese Jiu-Jitsu encompasses a wide range of techniques including strikes, throws, joint locks, and ground work, with a strong emphasis on practical self-defence scenarios. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu primarily concentrates on ground fighting and submissions. Japanese Jiu-Jitsu's training approach and techniques are specifically designed to equip practitioners with effective self-defence skills applicable in real-life situations.
