At Ju Jitsu Rugby, we run a range of classes for kids and adults.
Ju Jitsu is a life skill ! As a parent, I think it's really important kids learn to protect themselves. Just like you would teach your kids to swim, it's just as important kids learn other skills. We are not always with our kids, we never know what's going to happen so giving them the tools an d information to help identify danger and protect themselves, I'm sure you will agree, is very important.
Our 3-5 year olds are given a real fun introduction
to Martial Arts
to give them a long lasting positive attitude towards being active. We help develop gross motor skills, coordination and fitness through fun games, We also teach safety awareness in a safe, fun environment, helping kids to learn some of the Golden Rules of Safety.
Our 5-7 year olds class is essentially based around
"stranger danger". We still give a fun introduction to Martial Arts through fun and games, teach personal values like discipline, focus and so on but it's really about teaching children to be more aware and the dangers that are brought to them by adults, regardless of who that adult may be. Kids of this age do not really get into fights as such, it's adults who would target kids in this age group. Far too often we read in the newspapers or hear on the News about kids being abducted or victimised by adults. Our aim is to prevent that from happening wherever we can. Helping Kids to identify or recognise those situations is a main part of our emphasis.
Our program for 8 - 12 year olds starts teaching them more about Ju Jitsu
and protecting themselves. Our program covers striking, kicking and throws like you'd see in Judo, however, we present it slightly different as it's more about how to react if grabbed, held, bear hugged etc and how they can stop that other person, get them to the ground to be able to run away and stay safe.
Our adult Ju Jitsu program is about effective self-defence, learning to protect yourself and give you the confidence if you were attacked or assaulted in an unprovoked attack. Self confidence, fitness, respect for yourself and others. There also the other values which are a bi-product of continued Martial Arts training - discipline, self discipline, focus, commitment and so on.
The main focus of our Ju Jitsu school is to teach people how to protect themselves.
it's not about competition, we don't know in real-life who our assailant may be so we teach you how to protect yourself with effective self-defence techniques and strategies.
