Benefits
Properly taught, Japanese Bu-Jutsu (martial arts) provide students with a host of benefits that include:
- Self defence training
- Comradeship, Friendship, Teamwork
- Confidence
- Mental and Physical challenge
- A structured fitness and health programme
- Fun and motivation with discipline and safety
- Insights into history and culture of a feudal empire
- All regardless of age and gender
There are very few activities that offer a complete range of positive benefits at such a modest cost.
Usually students begin with self-defence as their prime motivation, but soon find that the other benefits are equally, if not more important. They continue because they enjoy what they do.
We look forward to starting you on a journey in traditional martial arts. Please see the Where – When Page in the menu,
