A great family friendly club, our kids (6 & 8) have been made to feel welcome from day one and are progressing their Ju-Jitsu skills week on week. The sensei “coaches” are great with the kids, they are patient and understanding whilst also making it fun to learn. I would recommend this Ju-Jitsu club to everyone young or old, a fantastic place to learn martial arts.

My son started Ju-Jitus in Feb and loves it so much he has been telling his friends and family members about it. He has come so far since joining this club and he has become so much more confident in himself making new friends and talking to new people as he used to struggle with this and has came out of his shell so much. And showing how much he has learnt. He is now working towards his green belt. My daughter has also joined the club now since August and also loves it and is alot more confident in herself and making new friends since coming along to the club she has learnt so much and she is now working towards her yellow belt. So proud of how far they have both come and the members of staff are so friendly and welcoming and has helped both my children so much. If they had any problems they are there to help abs make it better for them. If there are stuck on a move from a lesson they go through it step by step with them and take their time with each and every student and are so understanding. Thank you for all your hard work and support.

Shogun Ju-Jitsu is a new club opened in Wallsend. Location has new facilities, teachers are very welcoming, there is classes both for children and adults. (my 2 boys go to the children class and I do the adult class). Kids and I really love it and we are currently gunning for our first coloured belts. Also a great atmosphere to meet new people and learn something new.
