Jiu Jitsu was developed by the Samurai in Japan during the Sengoku Jidai (warring states period) in feudal Japan as an unarmed system of combat.
Today Jiu Jitsu is practiced by millions of people worlwide and since the Samurai period across different continents and across different cultures.
It is now a self defence, historical reference and sport martial art practised by women, men, children and all walks of life.
I teach both the unarmed Jiu Jitsu and traditional Samurai weapons that can be adapted to modern application.
