Ichinen Bridport Jiu-Jitsu teaches anti-bullying skills for children

 We talk about self defence at Ichinen Bridport. Before actual a real self defence situation appears, children often face some kind of bullying. Therefore we have anti-bullying skills in our repertoire to teach the children.

If you were bullied as a kid, you're more likely to face hardships an adult

A study that tracked nearly 8000 British children age 7 to 50 years old found that people who were bullied as kids had worse relationships, increased depression, higher anxiety, lower educational attainment and lower earnings. Makes sense to stoip that, doesnt it?

You can join your child in at any time. Training is every Thursday at our Bridport Dojo at the St. Catherine's primary scholl. Time: 5.45-6.45 pm.

See you there!

Weapon drill at Bridport Jiu-Jitsu

 

As we we train traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu at Ichinen Bridport, weapon drills are an important part of the syllabus.

 

Martial art is the most effective physical outwork

 "Martial art is the most effective physical outwork", says Master Horst Lindenau (4th Dan Jiu-Jitsu). Why would that be?

At Ichinen Bridport Jiu-Jitsu we train the whole, body and mind. When it comes to the fitness level, our training produces an all-round approach. When people join any single kind of sports activity, they assume this will do all for them. Joggers, weightlifter, tennis players and so on.

Just think of swimming, it doesn't build up muscles. The weightlifter lacks in endurance. 

While martial arts, especially traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu covers all aspects.

and don't you forget the mind...

You can join us  by contacting Master Horst on 07968-235486 to arrange a trial session.

Training regular is on Thursdays for seniors and juniors.

 

 

No fear > good life!

 Grand master Horst Lindenau

Self defence training is weapon training

 

When you incorporate self defence in your martial arts training, make sure there are various weapons involved. As in the photo above you choose natural weapons (knife, stick, rope) and unnatural weapons, as door keys, a bottle and so on. Ichinen Bridport offers more than 50 different weapon skills . Don't miss out here.

Jiu-Jitsu is the all-round fighting system

 Why is that?

At our Bridport based martial arts school "Ichinen Bridport" we train traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu. This is not a sport, its a way of life. We focus on self defence skills, physical and mental fitness and well being and trust in friendship with each other. 

Discipline, respect, endurance, hard training and focussing on targets. Set up by yourself and your Sensei.

Jiu-Jitsu is not this fancy dress rolling on the floor around sport, but a way of life in the tradition of the ancient warriors. 

We train continuously our all-round techniques. We do:

Throws

Locks

Chokes and strangling

Nerve grips

All legal natural weapons

All unnatural weapons

Punching

Kicks

Sparring

Boxing

Hold downs

Close combat

Out door training

* and keep on mind: Karate, Aikido and Judo were made from Jiu-Jitsu >>> 

the mother of all Japanese originated martial arts.

Ewan Roe achieved 6th Kyu Jiu-Jitsu in Bridport

12 year old Ewan Roe from Westbay / Bridport passed his first grading on the 8th of February 2024. Ewan joined Ichinen Bridport Jiu-Jitsu for children first in 2019, but than the miraculous Covid scam stopped the whole country to do what everyone wanted to do and consequently Ichinen Bridport Jiu-Jitsu had to stop the children's classes. 

Now Ewan caught up with this long break and did a very good grading with his partner Marlow (5th Kyu). Master Horst Lindenau from Ichinen Bridport Jiu-Jitsu: "Big congratulations my boy! Keep on going!" 

Martial arts is a great way to develop children's abilities, both mental and physical. and on a long term, they learn good self defence skills too.
