Jiu Jitsu Club

About Japanese Jiu Jitsu:

Literally the "Compliant Art", jiu jitsu is an ancient martial art which relies on the application of technique rather than strength. In the same way that a willow tree bends with the wind, so too should a practitioner of jiu jitsu adapt to the force of the attack and turn it to their advantage.

Jiu jitsu consists of a wide range of techniques which include joint locks, throws, immobilisations and strikes to nerve points and vulnerable parts. Practice of jiu jitsu encourages awareness, confidence and adaptability to circumstances. These are crucial elements in personal safety.

Furthermore, the techniques of jiu jitsu try to use as little force as possible to overcome an attacker. This means it does not matter what size, build or sex you are, anyone can participate. Unlike many sports clubs we take absolute beginners at any of our regular sessions.

If you have any questions about the club's procedure, do not hesitate to contact our committee, listed at the bottom of this page.

How much does it cost?

Jiu Jitsu in Cardiff is extremely flexible. We accept members throughout the year and your first three sessions won't cost you anything. We also don't expect you to be at every session. We train together three times a week, and we just ask our members to come to the sessions that they can.
As a member of our club, you also become a member of the Aiuchi Jiu Jitsu Association, which means you can:

• Train in other clubs across the country
• Take part in frequent national events
• Take part in gradings throughout the year to earn your next rank
