My son is wanting to learn jujitsu.he is 12 years old and we live in s6. Does anyone know of any local classes?????

We've got a Martial Arts Class over at Chapeltown, Monday at 8.05pm. Its a new class thats building up and the youngest in the session is also 12.

 

I can't post a link as I've not posted enough so need to copy and paste but this is whats done in a nutshell.

 

1) Fitness work

 

2) We break down a striking based technique, we then do some kicks and punches against the punchbags or strikeshields

 

3) We run through either a throwing technique/takedown/submission on ground or some general groundfighting stuff, the techniques will be taught Gi and No Gi. Leg Trangle Choke, Hip Throw, escape from your back etc.....

 

4) For the final 10 minutes there is an option to do open groundwork (sparring on floor) so you can see if you can get the techniques to work against a resisting opponent (often harder than you imagine)

 

or....

 

4a) for those not wanting to do the Groundwork, these people will do some martial arts based fitness work for the last 10 minutes instead, this could be more bagwork, padwork etc....or other martial arts based fitness exercises.
