Goshin Ryu Jujitsu is a modern form self-defence founded in 1981 by Sensei J Lycett, the head of the Staffs Self- Defence Academy. Various techniques are covered by our syllabus such as blocking, striking, kicking, throwing, locking techniques and ground grappling. Students are trained to defend against all forms of attack even using various objects that the average person has to hand, while Kick shield and focus pad training helps with speed combinations. Our style is a combination of traditional karate, Jujitsu and modern self defence.
Goshin Jujitsu techniques are very simple and even a basic knowledge of them can help you in a difficult situation, ultimately giving the student a feeling of self confidence. Training and practice leads the student to react almost instinctively in the event of a sudden attack and to manoeuvre and situation to their advantage. Male, Female, fit, unfit, weak or strong we use techniques not brute force so why not come down and pay us a visit in our friendly club, get fit and have fun?
First lesson free so you have nothing to lose.
Jujitsu is said to mean the Gentle Fighting Art, originating in Japan in the 12th Century Jujitsu is an empty handed fighting art of the Japanese Samurai. It was designed to enable the unarmed soldier to overcome opponents, and is considered as the predecessor of all Japanese martial arts.
Samurai: Were bodyguards
Ninja: Were Assassins
Ninjas soon adopted the techniques of jujitsu to add to their arsenal. Jujitsu is not a contest of muscular strength, nor is it's prime purpose to maim or kill. Punches, locks, knees and elbows; the art also uses throwing techniques, joint locking techniques, chokes, holds and even grappling.
