The Jiu Jitsu Foundation teaches a modern form of the traditional Japanese martial art, adapted for today's self-defence situations - less armour and horses, more punches and pub brawl type attacks.

We believe the Jiu Jitsu Foundation has something to offer everyone, whether you've never set foot in a gym or you're a total fitness fanatic.
