Teaching a traditional style of Atemi Ju-Jitsu, developed by Sensei Chad Sidaway (9th DAN) over 40 years ago, based on the code of Bushido and learning to apply them in a modern day self-defence situation. As far back as 8th century, Ju-jitsu was taught to the military rulers (Clans) including Samurai in Feudal Japan. Although history indicates that it was in existence in Far east cultures before
Christ in Europe. Each Feudal Clan had its own style and specific moves, including the use of armed and unarmed attacks following the code of Bushido. Over the centuries, these skills were developed and practically applied in battle and local Clan disputes. (47 Ronin, The Last Samurai) In more modern times, Ju-jitsu has given rise to many different martial arts including Judo, Aikido, Krav Magra and Brazilian Ju Jitsu. Zankido-Ryu is a traditional style of Atemi Ju-Jitsu developed by Sensei Chad Sidaway (9th DAN) over 40 years ago. We teach traditional Ju-Jitsu techniques based on the code of Bushido and show how you can apply them in a modern day self-defence situation. Zankido-Ryu covers everything from unarmed striking techniques, nerve attacks, joint locks, chokes, throws/takedowns, punch and kick defenses, restraint escapes, strangulation escapes, defenses from weapon attacks, ground fighting techniques and Kata work, to the use of weaponry such as Bo and Jo staff, Nunchaku and Katana (samurai) sword. Whether you're an absolute beginner or a Martial Arts fanatic, Ju-Jitsu is a style worth sticking at! As it provides a relevant system of self defense that will work in an everyday, REAL LIFE situation. And as well as that, it promotes personal fitness and body hardening/conditioning! A&S Police GYM
