FREE MARTIAL ARTS FOR THE WHOLE OF JANUARY 2024!

Our Carlisle JuJutsu classes will be free to new members for the whole of January.

* Please share if you think you know anyone who may be interested! *

Running on a Tuesday night at Pirelli Social Club on Dalston Road, Carlisle, our junior session runs 6-7pm, and our 13yrs+ class runs7pm-9pm.

Motoha Yoshin Ryu is a genuine Koryu JuJutsu style that was brought to the UK in the late 1990's by Soke Yasumoto Akiyoshi.

Our style is based around a set of core principles, which involve understanding of biomechanics and timing, with no focus on strength or competitive elements.

With a Japanese lineage dating back to the 1600s, the benefits of our training go beyond the physical and also work on the psychological elements of self-defence.

Children and adults alike develop better coordination, self-confidence, and physical skills that are extremely practical in how they apply to evading or escaping violent situations.

The historical teaching approach of kata (two-person, one 'attacker' and one 'defender') is mixed with practice of how the range of locks, breaks, strikes, and takedowns apply to realistic situations.

No hanging around, no grappling, no sparring - just techniques and principles that work, fast, and work on preventing the attack from consolidating (unlike the majority of JuJutsu or striking martial art styles) - who wants to stay around for a drawn-out fight?

Get out of there as safely and as fast as you can.

Sessions start back on Tuesday January 9th - drop me a PM for more information, or just turn up for a chat, a look, and to join in.
