-
Aikido is a graceful, powerful and dynamic traditional Japanese martial art. It is famous for its non-aggressive approach to self-defence.
-
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a complete martial art. Specifically, it focuses on self defence as well as grappling and ground fighting. BJJ’s main premise is that a smaller and weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a heavier, bigger and stronger opponent.
-
Judo is mainly known as a martial art or sport but was always intended to be a way of moving, cooperating, living and knowing with “Ju” (Gentleness) as a guiding virtue.
Judo training is intensive and rapidly improves strength, fitness and agility.
-
Juniors classes are designed as high-paced, fun activity classes for kids aged 5 to 15 years old. Kids learn skills such as ukemi (break falls), throwing and ground techniques, and play games that help develop their skills.
Through Budo (Martial Arts), children are exposed to basic elements of the Japanese language and culture.
