Senior Ju

Jitsu

Our   students   follow   a   grading   syllabus   that is   designed   with   an   excellent   learning   curve, leading   the   novice   student   up   through   each level,   pushing   them   a   little   further   at   each stage.   A   belt   is   gained   at   each   level.   Grades concentrate   on   different   aspects   of   the   Ju Jitsu style. The   Yellow   belt   is   an   introduction,   allowing novice   students   to   learn   their   own   physical capabilities,    and    to    gain    balance    and    co- ordination. Green   Belt   is   the   first   'big'   belt.   Students   are expected   to   show   good   application   of   the techniques   learned,   demonstrating   a   level of    aggressiveness    whilst    still    maintaining control of their training partner. Blue   and   Purple   Belt   start   to   concentrate   on the    more    technical    points    of    Ju    Jitsu,    and students      are      expected      to      gain      and demonstrate     an     understanding     of     what they do, and how the techniques work.

The Journey to Black Belt

Brown   Belt   is   the   pre-Dan   grading.   Students learn   more   advanced   techniques,   and   again should   be   able   to   show   good   application. They   should   be   able   to   carry   out   techniques on    anyone,    not    just    their    usual    training partner,     and     cope     with     a     partner     who resists the move. After    Brown    Belt    students    start    to    train towards their first Dan (Black Belt) grade. The    syllabus    however,    does    not    contain everything   we   learn   rather,   it   is   a   guide   to   a students   progress.   We   also   train   in   ground fighting   skills,   competition   training,   sparring and weapon training. Our   style   of   Ju   Jitsu   is   suitable   for   people who    are    physically    active,    have    good    co- ordination and balance Everyone   can   benefit   from   the   training,   and there's     no     pressure     or     high     expense commitment.
