Leicester Ju Jitsu

🥋 Looking for a Martial Art That Actually Covers Everything?

Are you aged 15+ and looking to improve your:

✅ Self-defence skills
✅ Fitness and conditioning
✅ Confidence
✅ Strength and mobility

At Leicester Ju Jitsu, we teach traditional Japanese Ju Jitsu, a practical martial art that develops a wide range of skills including:

👊 Striking (punches and kicks)
🤼 Throws and takedowns
🔒 Joint locks and control techniques
🥋 Sparring and partner drills
⬇️ Ground fighting
🛡️ Self-defence, including defence against weapons

Unlike many martial arts that focus on just one area, Japanese Ju Jitsu gives you experience across all ranges of combat, helping you become a more well-rounded martial artist.

Most importantly, you'll train in a welcoming, friendly environment where egos are left at the door and everyone helps each other improve.

LJJ Martial Arts

What do we do?

In a nutshell, we teach martial arts and self-defence to children and adults.
We use traditional Japanese Ju Jitsu as our base and have adjusted and adapted it to suit the 21st Century, people who are not athletic, people who don’t look for trouble, but sometimes it just finds them.

Little Dragons
Our Little Dragons programme is specifically designed for children aged from just 2.5yrs

“You can’t teach self-defence or martial arts to young kids!”

Many say this, but if you break down “Martial Arts and Self-defence” you find the following traits;
- Confidence – confidence to walk away from some situations, confidence to be yourself, confidence to not allow yourself to get drawn in to some people’s crap!
- Fitness – if you have good cardiovascular fitness (breathing) then running away becomes much more of a viable option! Fear (adrenaline) can sap your strength, but if you have good fitness, you can combat this and use adrenaline to your advantage.
- Strength – muscle strength, core strength, being strong gives you more options; to run away, to free yourself from someone’s grip, to fight if you must and practise and martial arts lets you explore your abilities in a safe environment
- Balance – balance comes from lots of things; core strength, awareness, practise, concentration, all of these are part of our martial arts classes
- Breakfalls – falling over is dangerous at any age, you can get injured, you are on the ground and therefore more vulnerable, we teach and practise breakfalls EVERY WEEK. With good form, the breakfalls we practise on our training mats are effective and pretty safe (certainly safer than no breakfall) outside and on concrete, PLUS we teach getting back up quickly and safely – now THAT is an essential transferable skill.
- Scenario training – Yes, we do scenario training with kids as young as 2½! Drilled techniques to help them learn and start to understand where they are at risk, and how good techniques can help them.
- Striking pads – we teach how to strike, which bit of the hand or foot to use to reduce their risk of injury, whilst making the strike effective. Our Little Dragons DO NOT spar (fight with pads on), we feel that this is a skill best reserved for our older students who are better placed to understand where this should be used.
- Resilience – dealing with pressures, albeit small ones at this age, leads them into understanding, acceptance and courage.

Dragon Warriors
This is for kids aged 6-14 years and is simply a cut-down version of our adult syllabus. We have removed the more dangerous and perhaps vicious techniques but kept the practicality. As students’ progress, they get a better understanding of how techniques work, how balance is impacted and how to make techniques work against larger more stable opponents. We also introduce sparring after 12 months of training and ground fighting after 2 years.
All of this produces a more rounded individual who is skilled in stand-up, clinch and groundwork.

Adult Ju Jitsu
This class is for students aged 15 and above. Here you’ll find all of our techniques, but practised in a controlled manner, giving each student time and space to work out how it works and how they personally need to adapt each technique so that it works efficiently for them.

Ladies Only Kickboxing
Our only gender specific class – why? Simply because we want to encourage females into martial arts. Martial Arts are 80-90% male dominated and this is for lots of reasons. By running a female only kickboxing class we are removing as many barriers to entry as possible, and helping ladies get involved, to build fitness, strength, resilience and all the other great benefits of martial arts.
