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.
