Competition acts as a means of testing techniques in a pressurised enviroment against people with different styles and techniques. It is one thing to perform a technique on an opponent who offers no real resistance, it is quite another to be able to make it work under severe pressure. It can only be a positive learning experience for students to find out how they react under pressure and which techniques you come to rely on, as well as being a great deal of fun.

Through Tai Jutsu Kai's membership of the NJJKC, our students have the opportunity to compete in various types of competitions.

Jujutsu Kumite

This includes the use of striking, grappling and groundwork techniques. It is a continuous fighting format that allows the competitiors to utilise a wide range of fighting skills.
