Some things to think about
Why wouldn't you learn a self-defence? Why wouldn't you want to learn how to protect yourself in a world of increasing violence? In the UK up until the end of March 2025 rape accounted for 34.2% of all sexual offences! Business robbery was up over 50% Over 50'000 recorded offences involving knives! The statistics are staggering, so learn to protect yourself.
Learn Jujitsu
Our commitment
At Woodthorpe Jujitsu, we are committed to providing high-quality instruction in a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. We pride ourselves on preserving the traditions of Jujitsu while adapting our training to meet the needs of today's students. Explore what we offer and how we can help you achieve your fitness and martial arts aspirations.
Starting your journey...
All students learn at a different rate, no two students are ever the same. But everyone must learn the fundamentals of Jujitsu from break falling to blocking an attack through to positioning, timing, control and executing a technique. Once all these aspects fall into place you'll find your journey takes on a new purpose. Eventually you'll form your own style unique to you.
our advice is don't focus on getting your Black Belt as quickly as possible but just focus on your day-to-day journey and build your skill level with each session.
To get to Black Belt you need perseverance, patience, determination, dedication and hard work.
The only thing holding you back is you.
Is it right for me?
If you're a sporty or competitive person this probably won't be for you although you are still welcome to try it out. Judo or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu will probably be more your thing and they're both incredibly good.
If you currently practice a contact sport this will complement your system very well.
If you want a complete self defence system without the competitive aspect this will be more your thing.
It seems to be a growing misconception that Jujitsu is all the same and it's not. Maybe you tried Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or Daito Ryu and felt it wasn't for you. You may well try ours and find it's more suitable to your needs. Very much like Karate has a number of styles you'll probably find one eventually you like.
We teach the locks and restraints incorporated into law enforcement and military training.

"Both of my boys are in the Junior class and have been for many years. As well as self defence skills it teaches them discipline and gives them self confidence. The instructors are very good and have a great deal of patience with the students."

Alfie - Student
"I've trained in a number of martial arts for the last 33 years including different styles of Jujitsu. Having worked security in bars and events I can honestly say Jujitsu works in real life situations. Seeing the high number of violent assaults in our society drives me to help people learn self defence. It's not an easy journey but incredibly rewarding."
