Exeter Martial Arts

🔥 Another Outstanding Seminar in the Books 🔥

This weekend we had an incredible Traditional Jiu Jitsu Seminar with Catterick Sensei packed with practical and dynamic training from start to finish. 👊

Black belts and instructors from our clubs Leicester Jiu Jitsu Club (SMRTJ) , Bristol Jitsu tol, Southampton Jiu Jitsuton and Exeter Martial Arts worked through a wide range of core combative skills including:

🥋 Joint locking & control techniques
💥 Throws and takedowns
🤼 Ground fighting and positional control
⚔️ Weapon defence applications
👥 Multiple attacker & 2-person attack scenarios

A fantastic opportunity to sharpen technical skills, pressure test movement, and explore the versatility that makes Traditional Jiu Jitsu such a complete martial art.

Huge respect to everyone who trained hard, pushed themselves, and brought great energy throughout the day and thanks to Jordan , for some great photos of the training.

The standard keeps rising every seminar. 👏

Train hard. Stay sharp. Keep evolving.

🔥 Loads of great things happening at the dojo at the moment! 🔥

Still buzzing after an incredible kenjutsu seminar yesterday at Exeter Martial Arts ⚔️

Huge thanks to Catterick Sensei for sharing such detailed and thought-provoking insights, especially on the use of the short sword and tanto against a long sword.

So many subtle principles that really change how you see distance, timing, and intent.

Grateful for the opportunity to learn, train, and be pushed to think deeper about the art. Already looking forward to the next one.

Huge congratulations to our two new 2nd Dans, Gareth Sensei and Simon Sensei 🙌
Proud to see them wearing their new 2nd Dan level gi. A well-earned milestone that reflects years of dedication, discipline, and hard work. An incredible achievement for both, and an inspiration to everyone in the club 💪
