Japanese Jiu Jitsu in London

Japanese Jiu Jitsu in London operates from The London Jiu Jitsu Centre in Camden, offering a distinctive blend of traditional Japanese Jiu Jitsu and contemporary combat sports. The head instructor has a deep connection to Japan, having visited over 35 times since 1993 to study directly under masters of this martial art. Awarded a shidoshi licence in 1999 and recognised as a daishihan of the Bujinkan Dojo, he brings an authentic lineage that few UK schools can match. Additionally, his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, earned under Roger Gracie, enriches the curriculum with effective modern techniques from BJJ and MMA. Training at the academy balances respect for classical methods with practical application for today’s self-defence needs. Classes include Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals and Advanced sessions, designed to develop both technique and understanding progressively. The programme is open to all adults and encourages drop-in attendance, making it accessible for newcomers and experienced practitioners alike. MMA Fundamentals classes further complement the offering, providing a wider scope of combat skills beyond traditional gi-based training. The philosophy behind Japanese Jiu Jitsu in London emphasises the development of mind, body, and spirit, reflecting the samurai heritage while adapting to modern urban life. The school fosters a sociable atmosphere, often gathering informally after classes, which helps build a community around the practice. This approach ensures that students not only learn effective self-defence but also engage with the martial art’s cultural and philosophical roots in a practical, supportive environment.
