I joined LJJ in 2019 and have never looked back! I feel stronger, healthier (both mentally and physically) and more confident. I especially recommend this club to women, I love that I have self defence should I ever need it. We’re so lucky at this club to have so many senseis too! Being taught by the best in the best club in London is just amazing.

Am bias as I am a member of the club for four years, and regularly attend. Excellent tutorage from Senseis Ian and Chris, the founding instructor. Lots of black-belts over the years, including women, which isn't always the case at martial-arts clubs. Great way to keep fit and learn something invaluable that builds confidence. Club is diverse, and welcoming to all shapes, sizes and backgrounds.
