Spring starters

Ju-jitsu is a martial art that has been gaining popularity in recent years due to its practical self-defence techniques and emphasis on discipline, respect, and physical fitness. If you're looking for a new way to stay active and learn a valuable skill, joining Bishop Challoner Ju-jitsu Club could be a great option. And if you're in luck, as we are open to welcoming new members this Spring, a perfect time to get stuck into something new!

Ju-jitsu is a Japanese martial art that focuses on using an attacker's strength and momentum against them. Unlike some other martial arts, which rely heavily on striking techniques, Ju-jitsu practitioners use joint locks, throws, and grappling techniques to subdue their opponents. This makes it a great option for people of all sizes and strength levels, as well as those who are interested in non-violent conflict resolution.

When you first join our Ju-jitsu club, you will likely start out by learning basic techniques and movements. This may include how to fall safely, how to execute throws and joint locks, and how to defend against common attacks such as punches and grabs. This usually involves a one-to-one during class hours with Rich, our Head Instructor, or one of our other qualified instructors or black belts. As you progress, you will learn more advanced techniques with other members of the club, no matter what their belt colour is.

One of the great things about joining our club is that is that most of our members find it a great way to meet new people and make friends. Our club hosts quarterly socials and has recently started hosting events, such as our International Women's Day taster session, which you can read more about here. This can be a fun way to bond with other members.

Though we will have to limit numbers on the mat if they grow too large, we still have room to accommodate new members so please do book a taster or contact us if you are interested! We welcome you asking as many questions as you need to ensure BCJJC is a good fit for you.

During the Spring/Summer months we hope to host an induction session to enable multiple new starters to have their induction at once so keep your eyes peeled for more details on this.

Hope to see you soon!
