TJK has been in operation for over 40 years and is held in high regard in the world of martial arts. The President is Sensei Ross Iannoccaro who holds an 8th degree black belt in Jujutsu and teaches extensively through the UK and Europe. We have traditional links with Japan through Soke Fumon Tanaka who is the current Soke or Successor of Several historical Koryu (old style) schools, which can be dated back to the 15th century. We keep up to date with the latest self defence techniques and work closely with the Police. We also offer an outstanding teaching and learning environment through which students can progress and build their fitness, confidence and self-esteem.

Taijutsu (体術), literally “body technique” or “body skill”) is a Japanese blanket term for any combat skill, technique or system of martial art using body movements that are described as an empty-hand combat fighting skill. Kai ( group association )

Jujutsu is regarded by many as the most rounded of the martial arts as it combines: striking, throwing and ground skills. It is used extensively by the Police, Prison Service and the Armed Forces.

Jujutsu is suitable for all boys and girls aged 5 years+. All techniques are taught in a structured and well balanced manner. The heart of our teaching is self discipline. Students are encouraged & motivated to reach their potential. Pupils build their confidence, awareness to learn and are encouraged to interact within the group.

We have developed a detailed and up to date syllabus for both juniors and adults. All the techniques are built upon one another and link together in a practical manner. We believe we have the most cutting edge belt system in the UK.

We suggest that your child starts their training once a week. Once they start to move up the belts and gain confidence & knowledge they may want to increase their training.

There are regular ‘points scoring’ competitions that allow students to practice their Jujutsu skills in a safe but challenging environment.

Seminars are special lessons that are held locally & nationally. They take place 3 or 4 times a year and are invaluable to the students as they broaden their appreciation of all aspects of the Jujutsu art.

All the instructors at the club have: relevant teaching qualifications, first aid training and are CRB (police) checked.
