Children’s Jujutsu 7-13

Jujutsu has often been described as an art of self-defence, an art of last resort to be used when reason has failed to resolve a conflict. As such, it is an excellent choice for children’s self-defence, teaching children not to hit, but how to avoid being hit themselves. Children are led through a variety of drills, exercises and scenarios designed to help them develop their awareness and ability to successfully escape an attack or confrontation.

 

Tuesdays:

 

6:30-7:30 pm Ages 7-13 new and returning students

 

7:30-8:30 pm Ages 7-13 new and returning students

 

Wednesdays:

 

6:30-7:30 pm Ages 7-13 returning & advanced students only

 

ADULT 14+

 

Elegant and powerful, Jujutsu uses leverage and balance to obtain control, thus eliminating the need for strength. It can be adjusted to fit personal physical needs. Black belt instructors will help you boost your martial arts skills and self-esteem in an unforgettable way. The art of Jujutsu includes a never-ending supply of knowledge in strikes, throws, locks and restraints. The JCC Jujutsu Dojo offers instruction based around a number of classical and modern styles of the art that provides a fully rounded approach to Jujutsu that has something to offer

everyone. Space is limited, so register early!

Ki Aikido                            

The Way to Union with Ki

Ki Aikido is a highly refined Japanese martial art, which promotes the art of living naturally and unselfishly in accordance with the natural rhythm of the universe. 

 

Ki Aikido is based on the unification of mind and body principles whose roots are traced back to the ancient practice of Himalayan yoga and Japanese traditional arts.

 

Rather than teaching self defence, Ki Aikido

promotes living calmness and living relaxation through the art of mind and body unification/coordination.

 

Ki Aikido is unique to the martial arts in teaching and showing that conflict and discord can be resolved without aggression, manipulation or disregard for the dignity of others.

The core principles that underpin every class of Ki Aikido act as guidelines in our daily life.
