Learn to defend yourself effectively

We use traditional Japanese Ju-Jitsu martial arts in modern situations of conflict

Martial Arts of Bristol

Welcome to the school of Shorinji Ryu Aiki Ju Jutsu (Traditional Japanese Jiu Jitsu), in Bristol, UK.

Aiki Ju Jutsu is a traditional Japanese art that compromises a practical approach to Ju Jutsu (Jiu Jitsu) to focus on defending yourself in a variety of different environments and circumstances. It comprises of locking, pinning, throwing, striking, kicking and grappling and was formed thousands of years ago across the far east.

At the Bristol Shorinji Ryu Aiki Ju Jutsu School we teach our students in a manor that give them capability and confidence in order to face challenges with honour and respect, and without needing prove themselves. As a student you learn how to avoid trouble, and if unavoidable, how to defend yourself effectively and efficiently. We emphasise on never engaging an attack, and how to end one quickly.

Every student has a grading syllabus to follow, however we like to extend our students knowledge in the dojo beyond a set of throws and locks. This is to ensure that you do not just become a walking book of moves but incorporate the martial art of defence into your own natural well-being thus react without thinking whilst keeping very calm and with a prominent posture.

We always welcome new members to our sessions and are confident that you will appreciate the safe and friendly atmosphere and the effectiveness of this form of Ju-jitsu. Feel free to come along to any of our sessions. You never know what it is really like until you try it out.

One-To-One Sessions

For some that already have martial arts experience may wish to have a more focused one-to-one tuition. We can now offer this at the Bristol School. It is specially designated for those that wish to have an in-depth look into specific aspects they either wish to expand on, or to work on complementary martial arts to sessions they already are taking (commonly leading up to their grading).

There are extremely limited times and spaces available for one-to-one sessions and they come on a first come first served basis. Payments will need to be taken at the time of booking to cover the hall fees.

Currently there no one-to-one sessions are available. Please ask in class for next available slots.

To book, please come along to one of our regular sessions to speak to the instructor directly.
