Are your kids 13+?
They are old enough to train with the adults.
Ju Jitsu exercises the whole body and improves cardiovascular health too!
Our training sessions are an hour long which is an opportunity to introduce more physical activity into your kids lives, improving their strength, power, flexibility and cardiovascular endurance.
Ju Jitsu helps take your kids out of their comfort zone which develops confidence that they may take to other areas of their lives.
Being good at a physical skill is something your kids may take pride in. The belt system gives them a way to track their progress with a sense of achievement.
Bullying is a problem which is rampant in schools. Ju Jitsu gives your kids the skills they need to de-escalate and defend themselves from bullies.
Ju Jitsu requires dedication. Practicing the discipline to keep training is important as it helps keep your kids on the path to their next belt.
The discipline learned from Ju Jitsu can translate to other areas of their lives. This prepares them to adopt more responsibilities.
Ju Jitsu is opportunity to socialise in a safe but challenging environment. Everyone is working towards a goal as an individual, while cooperating with others to get there. This can create lasting friendships between students.
Ju Jitsu is designed specifically to give your children the skills they need to defend themselves in a real world situation, rather than solely as a competitive sport.
Students start at red belt where we teach the fundamentals such as safety and dojo etiquette. After a few weeks, students earn their white belt where they get to move on to the exciting stuff like throws, locks and takedowns.

Our members range from 4 to 74 years old. Ju Jitsu is a martial art which you can practice at almost any stage of your life. Our oldest black belt achieved his black belt at 73.
We would encourage our younger students to train away from their parents. This helps them develop their social skills and interact with other children in the club.
No, students wear sportswear for the first few sessions. Gis can be purchased upon registration directly from SSJJKA.
Ju Jitsu is suitable for all levels of fitness. Training sessions are designed to help improve your fitness and to cater to all abilities.
Gradings are typically every three months to assess the students' progress, to see whether they are ready to move up to the next belt.
Ju Jitsu was developed in the Japanese feudal ages. Modern BJJ focuses more on a sporting aspect whereas Ju Jitsu develops one’s ability to defend themselves.
Derived sport forms include the Olympic sport and martial art of judo, which was developed by Kanō Jigorō in the late 19th century from several traditional styles of Ju Jitsu, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which was derived from earlier (pre–World War II) versions of Kodokan judo.
Private classes are available for booking. These are ideal for students who want additional 1-to-1 attention and support. Send Sensei Peter an email at info@ssjjka.com to book private sessions.

A safe and friendly environment to learn this popular ancient martial art excellent instructors will guide you through its well structured syllabus it's a great way to meet people and keep fit very highly recommended come and have a go
We can not say how much this club has done for our son but it has helped him in club, at school and at home. We would highly recommend you take your children and watch them have fun, learn and grow mentally as well as physically.
Really good friendly club. Myself and my child trained at the club under Sensei Peter and his team. Always a good environment and classes full of fun for all ages. You have a choice of Ju Jitsu, Nunchaku Elite Combat an can learn defence against weapons. I believe every child needs to be learning these skills from a young age to keep them safe in the future. A great boost for your confidence and I would highly recommend to all!
My son loves this class he's only 4 and his confidence has really started to shine. Fantastic group and fantastic leader. Would really recommend.
