Ju Jitsu was developed by the Bushi or warriors of the Kamakura period circa 1185 - 1333. Originally designed for warriors who had lost their weapons in battle, it now also incorporates weapons techniques. Today it is an activity for all to enjoy, from the very young to the very old. We have two locations in Leicestershire training students from the age of 2yrs through to 60 and beyond.
Ju Jitsu is a great way to keep fit and to find focus and it is absolutely fantastic for SELF DEFENCE. Ju Jitsu is one of the few martial arts that can actually be used out in the real world to protect yourself. Our Martial Arts coaches are Black Belts in our art and highly experienced in guiding students from raw beginner to expert level.

Services
We are proud to announce that we run martial arts classes for children from 2 - 6 years old. Pre-school martial arts is a wonderful opportunity for your child to experience a brand new activity. Specifically designed programmes for children from 2 years pre-school.
The sessions are high energy, heavily instructor lead, include a "assault" course to keep the kids engaged, basic kicking and punching drills and 3-4 techniques from our older 6+ Dragon Warriors programme.

Our Friday venue is a great airy hall, owned by St John Ambulance who do first aid training there during the day. We have 40mm think judo mats laid out to cover a large area of the hall, this gives the martial arts kids in Coalville plenty of room to run around and the mats act as a great cushion to prevent injury.
When you first start, we recommend that you wear a loose t-shirt, jogging bottoms and train with bare feet. When you are ready for your first grading only then will you need to buy a Gi, the white suit worn by people who practice martial arts. This is a discipline that is suitable for all ages up to and beyond 80.
Over the year the club will be shut for 5 weeks, you have not been charged for these in your monthly direct debits. Your monthly fees are calculated over a 47 week year and then charged at an equal amount over 12 months. Even though you are not being charged for our closures, you are very welcome to do "catch-up" sessions, just please contact your instructor to confirm space.
Kids have great lives in many ways - I can't even remember what it's like to be bored can you?! But going back to school after the loooonnnggg summer break can be a daunting thing, especially as they move to new classes or even a new school. At Leicester Ju Jitsu we work with our students to help build up their confidence and fitness, these two things alone can do so much for their self-esteem, and that helps their progress and ability to learn.

I joined Leicester Ju Jitsu about in 2010 to learn some basic self defense skills. The instructors and leaders were very helpful and friendly when I joined. Since then I have gone on to achieve my black belt which I would have never thought possible. They then mentored me through a coaching program and helped me to start my own classes.

My son loves this club. He has been attending for 15 months and looks forward to going EVERY week. The instructors are always kind and encouraging and want the kids to do well. The website with all the video support for grading is really helpful. The club has also puts on additional seminars that my son has also enjoyed. Great club to learn life long skills
