Ju Jitsu
Philosophy and methodology concepts of yin and yang are very important in the basic philosophy. Ju Jitsu is a defensive art. Students are taught to let the attack come to them and use their opponent's momentum against them. Defence includes some kicks and punches but mostly involves throws and holds, designed to immobilise an attacker. The throws and grappling from Ju Jitsu form the basis of Judo.
JUNIORS
These programs are suitable for junior students from five years of age. They improve coordination, balance and confidence. It provides the student with protective behaviours that help avoid violent situations, light defenses from nonviolent situations and effective responses to assault.
SENIORS
Senior students from sixteen years of age are also involved in training at Police Youth Clubs. Ju Jitsu, with its control and restraint techniques appeals highly to all those who are aware of the importance of defence within legal and moral boundaries. Control techniques where pain is scientifically applied can regulate the amount of force used. The use of tactically correct and proportionate force techniques can protect you legally.

Judo
HISTORYJudo was founded in 1882 by Professor Jigoro KANO. Professor Kano had studied martial arts as a youth in order to build his health which had deteriorated due to childhood illness. He studied and became proficient at several forms of Jujitsu. As an adult he decided that it would be in the national good to spread the benefits of the martial arts to everybody. However, he found the then current styles to be lacking in several aspects, not the least of which was the mortality rate. So he took it upon himself to create a system which consolidated the good points of the contemporary systems into one art, that by its nature stressed the goals of the improvement of body, mind and character.
Today, Judo is an Olympic sport enjoyed around the world by all ages and both sexes. While stressing the sporting nature of Judo, the style still retains the techniques and training that makes it ideal for self defence.JUDO & AIKIDO
SAFETY
All students should wear some sort of footwear to the mat. (NO SHOES ON THE MAT) Dirty feet create a dirty mat which is very unhygenic. All jewellery should be left at home and not worn on the mat area. Earrings and wedding rings are especially vulnerable to being caught on Judo/Aikido Gi, and anyone who cannot remove them should cover them with surgical tape. Long fingernails/ toenails are an unacceptable risk in a full contact sport, please ensure they are kept trimmed.
This is for the protection of everyone on the mat and there will be no exceptions.

Karate
ORIGIN
Originally from Okinawa, the art was modified by Chinese influence then taken to Japan and evolved to its current form early this century.
PHILOSOPHY AND METHODOLOGY
Karate literally means "empty hand" It refers to a mind that removes self, to control ego and understand ones self. Control is an essential element. During competition, there are penalties for injuring opponents. There's an equal balance between kicks and strikes, with some grappling and although ground fighting is prohibited in competition, it is taught as part of the art.

Kick Boxing
FREESTYLE KICKBOXING
FUN, FITNESS, FLEXIBILITY.
Many laymen are under the impression that modern day kickboxing originated in Thailand in fact, the real origins of the sport are revealed by the real name by which it was known, full contact karate. During the mid-seventies various American karate practitioners started looking for a competitive format in which they could use their skills to the full effect, full power punches and kicks.
The development of specialised protective equipment speeded up the evolution of this new sport which became known as kickboxing. Bouts are staged in a boxing ring rather than on the kind of open matting used for karate. Kickboxing allows for as much punching and kicking as possible and as little grappling and clinching as possible.

Aikido is a graceful Japanese martial art founded in 1942, which aims to restore harmony to conflict situations.
Not reliant on physical strength, Aikido is suitable for people of all ages. It provides the benefits of positive energy, self-defense, empowerment and inner calm.
At classes, students practice avoiding attacks, maintaining balance and using the attacker’s energy against them. Physical fitness is promoted with constant movements, defensive techniques and falling safely.
Instruction is delivered in a traditional way in a safe, non-competitive learning environment and we practice this dynamic self-defense in an atmosphere of friendship, mutual respect and joy of training.
New students are always welcome.
Our junior program will commence in the near future.

This introduction to self-defence training is designed to dispel many of the myths associated with self-defence and demolish roadblocks that prevent many people embarking on a self-defence course.
We acknowledge the importance of other survival skills, water safety, first aid and fire drills, but often ignore learning basic self-defence skills that could well save our lives or that of a family member.
ASK YOURSELF:
• Do you have the potential to be victimised?
• Do you fit the victim profile?
• How do I avoid victim selection?
• Would your response to a violent confrontation be based on sound defensive tactics principles or reactions improvised from panic, fear or frozen inaction?
Learn how to diffuse, de-escalate, avoid and withdraw safely from conflict.
REASONS FOR TRAINING
The human brain is a pattern storing and pattern-detecting organ. When in danger the mind automatically references a similar situation from a persons experience. When no experience is found in our memory files our self-defence responses are based on fear and result in panic and frozen inaction. If we have no “live” experience in self-defence situations, our best reference is what we practice. Self-defence training stores a false memory that allows us to react to a situation with the correct responses and helps prevent cognitive and physical freezing up under stress.
LEARN THE FACTS
• Self-defence training is not martial arts.
• Statistics show resistance, verbal and physical is an effective deterrent.
• Victim Selection Interviews
– Most attacks are preceded by stalking and dialogue.
– This is where you are interviewed visually or verbally to assess your victim potential. Learning to control this interview with the correct body language responses can and will prevent assault.
• Understanding the criminal mindset, predatory interview techniques, fear management and control of our inbuilt flee response are as important to self-defence as physical techniques. This course covers all these often neglected areas of self-defence.
WHAT THIS COURSE OFFERS:
Learn…
• How to develop and install a personal safety package that covers home, social, work and transit environments.
• How to eliminate negative conditioning.
• How to reduce confrontational stress.
• How to set verbal and physical boundaries.
• How to use personal space defensively.
• How to use body language in conflict de-escalation.
• How to use body language to avoid victim selection.
• How to develop visual defence skills.
• Balance retention skills.
• Verbal threat reduction techniques.
• Disengagement techniques from physical attacks.
• Principles of self-defence against blunt and edged weapons.
