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!

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.

 

 

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.

Bridport juniors train traditional Jiu-Jitsu

 Jiu-Jitsu master Horst Lindenau started teaching children in Bridport over 30 years ago. Master Horst came over from Germany, where he was educated in the art of Jiu-Jitsu and under supervision of late Grandmaster Horst Weiland (10th Dan) learned how to run children classes successfully.

Today we train in Bridport at the St.Catherines primary school. Every Thursday at 0546 pm.

New logo for Bridport martial arts school on Facebook

Our new logo on Facebook shows what we are doing. Anti Terror Combat > hardcore fighting and street wise self defence - Self defence is one of our basics in Jiu-Jitsu. We train permanent the most common attacks - Jiu-Jitsu is a traditional Japanese martial art and we are very proud of it - Children learn the Jiu-Jitsu easy at Ichinen Bridport - Without Meditation there is no personal progress in the world of martial arts. It would be just meaningless - Yoga is taught by Grandmaster Horst Lindenau who is a qualified Tantra Yoga teacher. Namaste!

Update  >>> 

Anti Terror Combat is now called BlackCombat!

We train on real martial arts mats

Ichinen Bridport martial arts school in Bridport / South West Dorset, uses thick rubber mats for the self defence classes. As the training requires a lot of ground work, either for the rolls and falls, the warm up procedure or grappling. These thick mats make sure, that whatever you do keeps you secure and comfortable to learn these new skills.

Without these mats it would be impossible to learn the special Jiu-Jitsu throws and more than half of the training time during the children lessons, the kids are working on the ground. Comfortable supported by our mats. And keep on mind: martial arts training on hard floor can damage your ankles on a long run.

Even the radical self defence of Anti Terror Combat requires these mats. Although the advanced students and the masters conduct many of their skill on hard floor, the beginner needs the support of some mats and many techniques are impossible to teach without so.

Update  >>> 

Anti Terror Combat is now called BlackCombat!
