Our lineage stems from a variety of influences and aligns itself with the Te Kempo Jiu jitsu Organisation principles of application with knowledge instead of application in the absence of knowledge. The predominant influence on the Senshi no te system comes from Okinawa te Karate as created by Gordon Doversola. The lineage can be traced back to Kempo Jujutsu by Mitose who was Doversola’s direct teacher.

We never stand still. 🥋

We just rolled out a major upgrade to the SMA Video Vault, our online training system that helps your child practice consistently between classes.

What's new:
🔹 New layout, easy to use on desktop and mobile
🔹 Smart search, jump straight to any technique or self-defence scenario by name
🔹 New ways to interact with every video

Consistent practice at home is what turns a stripe into a habit. This makes it easier to actually do.
