PRACTICAL, REALITY BASED

Self-Defence

All Taijutsu Kai clubs uphold the original concepts of Jujutsu and addresses all aspects of self defence both standing and on the ground.

Our structured and functional self defence programs are an accumulation of over 50 years of experience and knowledge and are based on a blend of both traditional and modern aspects of the art, providing, effective reality based self defence skills for men, women and children of all ages.

All new students are taught separately from the rest of the class and will be taught practical basic skills. Beginners are encouraged to work within their own capabilities and at their own pace in an encouraging and friendly environment.
All new beginners are placed on the introductory program or white belt which normally takes about 10 -12 lessons.

Sport

Our students have the opportunity to compete in various types of competitions.

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.
