In the past 3 years the Tai Jutsu Kai sports development team has successfully worked alongside schools to enhance the opportunities for young people to experience Jujutsu (self defence and competitive Jujutsu) in a positive and safe environment. Delivering our structured and specialised introductory programme / taster session’s direct to primary and secondary schools as well as other community groups.

Through a specialised and structured junior syllabus we provide training and guidance on aspects of personal protection and awareness aimed at youngsters, such as common bullying problems, as well as health and fitness / sport benefits, which are areas of concern for both teachers and parents.

Through our links and feedback from Ssco’s and PE teachers, Jujutsu classes have proven to be a most popular and enjoyable recreation with children of all ages and abilities, but particularly with those who have little involvement or little interest in the common School sports available to them.

Jujutsu is a excellent and most rewarding vehicle for developing important life skills such as teamwork, dedication and goal setting. Improving children'sConfidence and Self Esteem and helping them to achieve their full potential.

Examples of our work in schools include:

Encouraging children to take part in sport inside and outside school and increase Sports opportunities. i.e. Jujutsu Competitions and Events at Club, Regional and National levels.

Providing local Qualified and registered Coaches to deliver Jujutsu / self defence and

Forge links between schools, sport clubs and the community;

Personal protection and awareness training (some of our coaches are Police Officers as Jujutsu is taught to many caring professions) including topics such as: Bullying - Safety and Awareness topics.

Provision of training equipments / Mats provided by TJK.

School Sites
The great thing about this scheme is that schools are provided with qualified coaching staff, ensuring that teachers do not get overloaded, but most importantly increasing participation opportunities for the children as activities are based at school sites.The children will then be encouraged to continue the activity at a local club.
