Midland Ju-Jitsu Association

Midland ju-jitsu association was born out of the dissatisfaction of other martial art federations and the way that martial arts have become a business.

Over the years many of the individual martial arts such as Karate, Tae Kwon do and many other styles have blended Ju-Jitsu into their own style of martial art, normally badly as they do not understand the principles of the art and the way the use of an opponents force is the key weapon against him.

Midland Ju-Jitsu is pure Ju-Jitsu - the most complete form of fighting!

Based on the "small circle" theory of Ju-jitsu, our style is a mixture of counter, escaping and striking.
We use various strikes, kicks, throws, pressure points, arm and wrist locks to take our opponent to submission and to deliver whatever force is required without leaving permanent disability.

There are 10 gradings to 1st dan black belt and each grading examination is taken during club time when each student is ready - not when the instructor says the student should be ready.

We do not use any form of kata! - Ju-Jitsu is a combat art and cannot realistically be practised on an individual situation.

We teach each technique from both left and right sided attacks unlike other ju-jitsu federations.

Our fees are amongst the cheapest in the country to grade to black belt and be recognised by a major federation (IBF UK).

All instructors are CRB Police checked! We also have a strict conduct for the instructing of Junior members. See here
