Ju Jutsu - Japanese Martial Art of Self-Defence

Both Chikako and Tony, are graded to Black Belt level and cover many different martial arts systems between them.

We advocate learning Ju Jutsu, which is a Japanese martial art of self-defence that gave rise to Judo, Aikido and certain styles of Karate. 

Tony is a Cornerstone Member of Adaptive Martial Arts UK & Ireland,

Trustee of Fighting For Autism (Europe) Charity No 1189562 and one of the highest graded instructors in the UK at Black Belt 8th Dan. He was awarded the title of Hanshi in April 2026, and has been inducted into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame 3 times:

• WUMA Martial Arts Hall of Fame UK 2001
• MAI Martial Arts Hall of Fame UK 2012
• MAMA Hall of Fame USA 2021

With 33 years in the security industry and a former Head Doorman of nightclubs and a bodyguard, he has many years of front-line experience using self-defence and martial arts in real situations. 

He founded Mizu Ryu Ju Jutsu 24th April 1994 to more formally share his own syllabus and has been teaching that exclusively ever since.

 Ju Jutsu has been shown to be good for:

*self awareness        *healthy regular exercise

*concentration         *development of respect and harmony with others

*self discipline          *controlling aggression and behavioural problems. 

*goal setting              *practical self-defence

*problem solving    *development of self confidence

Ju Jutsu is suitable for children as well as adults and scientific research results show that the study of traditional martial arts is good for positive mental attitude and discipline, not just the physical benefits.

We accept students from 6 years old and foster an inclusive attitude towards teaching. Group tuition is the usual method of learning, but some students may need 1-2-1 or partnered tuition. Talk to us to discuss needs, and we will find the best solution together.
