Ju Jitsu can be traced back to fifteenth century Japanese Samurai and uses compliant techniques to neutralize attacks (using the force of an attack to your advantage) and then overcomes with an effective counterattack.

The club is based in Dagenham Essex, and training commences twice weekly, taught by Sensei John Mackinnon. The club has a modern approach and training is geared towards today’s needs in terms of self protection and the benefits to the practitioner. Freestyle Combat Ju Jitsu teaches boxing, kickboxing, throwing techniques, restraints, holds and joint locks. This all around approach reinforced with drilling and practical application means that you will become skilled and practiced at all ranges in a combat situation.

This form of training builds the mind as well as the body making you happier, more confident and more energized as well as losing weight and building general fitness and health.

We have a very successful record in entering tournaments and offer the opportunity to grade every three months.
