Fitness with a practical purpose

Adult Martial Arts in Muswell Hill

Learn traditional Japanese Ju-Jitsu, useful self-defence skills and confident movement in a friendly North London class.

A martial art you can keep developing

Japanese Ju-Jitsu gives adults a varied physical and mental challenge.

Sessions bring together striking, throws, joint locks, escapes, breakfalls, controlling techniques and practical self-defence. You will work on timing, leverage and balance as well as fitness.

You do not need previous experience. If you are returning to martial arts after a break, you can also rebuild steadily rather than trying to pick up exactly where you left off.
