The Essence of Japanese Jiu-Jitsu: A Time-Honored Martial Art
At Kaizen Martial Arts, we offer specialized Japanese Jiu-Jitsu lessons, a traditional martial art that has evolved over centuries. Originating from the samurai warriors of feudal Japan, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, also known as Ju Jitsu or Ju Jutsu, is a comprehensive martial art encompassing a wide range of techniques including strikes, joint locks, and throws.


The Journey through Japanese Jiu-Jitsu Training
Our Japanese Jiu-Jitsu training is a deep dive into the art and science of this ancient martial art. Unlike Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which focuses mainly on ground fighting, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu offers a broader scope, including striking techniques and defense against weapons. Training in Japanese Jiu-Jitsu at Kaizen Martial Arts is not just about learning techniques; it's about adopting a way of life that enhances both physical and mental strength.
Self-Defence and Beyond: The Practical Applications of Japanese Jiu-Jitsu
Japanese Jiu-Jitsu is renowned for its effectiveness in self-defence situations. Our classes emphasize real-world applications, equipping students with the skills to handle aggressive situations confidently. From joint locks to effective throws, the techniques taught are practical, efficient, and adaptable to various self-defence scenarios, including those involving multiple attackers.

The Path to Mastery: Belt System and Progression
The journey of a martial artist in Japanese Jiu-Jitsu is marked by continuous learning and improvement. At Kaizen Martial Arts, we follow a structured belt system, allowing students to track their progress and set goals. Achieving a black belt in Japanese Jiu-Jitsu is not only a testament to one’s skill but also to their dedication, discipline, and understanding of the art.
Training for the Mind and Body
Our Japanese Jiu-Jitsu lessons go beyond physical training. Students learn the importance of balance, coordination, and awareness, skills that are beneficial in everyday life. The training also fosters a sense of respect and camaraderie among practitioners, creating a supportive and motivating environment.
