No particular level of fitness or previous martial arts training is required
All lessons are taken by a qualified and very experienced black belt instructor
What we teach as acceptable in a self-defence situation may not be morally acceptable
A "real fight" is not a "fair fight" there are no rules
Anybody who has ever been in a "real fight" knows this and never wants to, unless they have to, get into a "real fight" ever again - there are no rules

Martial arts cover a broad range of activities that involve fighting techniques, physical exercises, and methods of mental discipline, among other skills
Martial arts teach self-defense, and can improve confidence and self-esteem. When used as exercise, martial arts can improve balance, strength, stamina, flexibility, and posture
Jujutsu is a Japanese martial art that emphasizes flexibility, quickness, and fluidity of motion. It consists of kicking, punching, holding, and striking moves as well as the use of weapons
Any martial artist who has been around for a while appreciates that there is a stage that is reached in their training, where the realisation is that a weapon is only an extension of your body
Timing, distance and the nature of the weapon itself is what you have to get past, in order to see that there is very little diffrence between armed or unarmed training

The execution of techniques should be done in a calm and controlled manner, without any undue movements
A stick or sword whether used as a one handed weapon, a two handed weapon, as a distance weapon or as an in close' weapon, is a brutal impact weapon, the injuries that it can cause are savage
Therefore, proper padded training weapons are used while training, bambo for stick fencing and padded sticks for in close training
Only after a good understanding of safety, timing and distance, are wooden weapons used
