About Our Group

Looking to get fit but not a fan of the treadmill? Jiu-Jitsu is a fun way to challenge yourself, learn some handy self-defence skills, and get fit in the process! Come along and have a go at something truly different today. 

 So what exactly is Jiu-Jitsu?

We teach a modern form of the traditional Japanese martial art Jiu-Jitsu known as Shorinji Kan, which simply described is: A system of defensive techniques, which use an attacker’s momentum against them.  It is traditionally based – with spectacular established locks, strikes, and throws adapted for the modern-day.

In addition to training with the club in Liverpool, there are many opportunities throughout the year to attend regional and national events. This is where you learn new skills from highly-regarded Senseis, as well as train with and compete against other members from around the UK. 

We have a number of different socials throughout the year that everyone can join in with! Some of the events from previous years were: Ninja Warrior training, a Boys vs Girls night out, and a holiday to Prague!

Our first social of the year is always Drink to a Dan where we introduce you to Liverpool City Centre by doing a Pub Crawl, drinking a different coloured drink in each bar corresponding to the colours of our belts: White, Yellow, Orange, Green, Purple, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Brown, and Black. It’s something no one should miss out on, and the relaxed atmosphere will allow us all to get to know each other!
