We are so excited to announce our new Women's Self Defence one day course, held in Southend on sea, Essex.

Learn self defence movements that are practical & effective, empowering you to defend yourself in this one day course.

Movements come from the ancient Japanese martial art of the samurai, using the energy and intent of an attacker against them.

As well as learning the defence moves, this fun and friendly course provides a good cardio workout.

Your teachers are husband and wife duo, Lucia and Mark Craddock. Mark is a 5th Dan Renshi in Jujutsu (master instructor), with over 45 years experience in martial arts, he introduced his wife Lucia to the ancient art of Jujutsu 7 years ago, she has been hooked ever since. They are passionate about empowering women and preserving these ancient teachings.

First of all I do hope everyone is safe and well .. the unusual times we are in have meant the JuJitsu has been difficult to teach, although I have had the joy of training / teaching my wife Lucia and my 2 youngest sons.

Just had to share this great video showing one of the techniques Lucia is studying for her Orange belt, hopefully taking her grading test next month, after well over a year of practice since her yellow belt grading challenge. This shows the power of this gentle martial arts, using the attackers energy against them, which we teach as pure defence only. If you're interested in learning this amazing traditional art please do let Lucia or I know via messaging us here.

Aikido looks cool on camera.

As an 8 year old kid I couldn't have imagined the lifetime value starting martial arts would have on me.

I've been blessed with children of my own who have learned jujitsu too (and hopefully more to come!).

The mini ninjas class we run is so rewarding and the confidence and self belief which comes from martial arts is a joy to see develop.

Happy Friday everyone 👍😎🙏
