About this academy

Jiu Jitsu is a Japanese martial art developed by samurai warriors over centuries of battle. Today we use it as a method of self-defence that allows smaller people to use practical techniques to defend against larger and stronger attackers. Anyone can learn Jiu Jitsu no matter what size, shape, age, or gender.
