Our Instructors are fully qualified and First Aid trained. In addition to our range of weekly, scheduled classes, private self-defence classes are available for those seeking self-improvement or even just as a form of self-protection. Whatever your reason for studying the Martial Arts, we are confident that we can accommodate you to achieve your personal goal.
Martial Arts, as the name would imply, have long been viewed as part sport, and part art form. Martial Arts run the full length of the spectrum from professional-level sports to artistic demonstrations, from such styles as Lau Gar Kung Fu Wing Chun or Tai Chi, which are similar in style as to imitate dance, but none the less effective once the skills are mastered. Innumerable people derive a vast amount of learning and pleasure from the \"art\" facet of Martial Arts, either as spectators or participants.
On a typical training night the student will under go;
.Fitness Drills forcusing on cardiac health.
.Stretching to increase performance and reduce injury.
.Break falling to condition the body against the effects of throwing and learning to fall.
.Sparing drills (hand work)learning how to throw opponents and defend attacks.
.Brazilian Ju Jitsu ground work and drills (how to defend and attack on the ground.)
.Belt syllabus work.
What else can we provide?
The Goshin Ju-Jitsu Association has professional links with other Martial artists who are experts in other styles; our intention is to offer Master classes in these other arts to our students, should they wish to partake of this wealth of experience. This is in the form of Seminars held all over the UK and Abroad. We are an open minded Assoc and have no problem inviting Instructors and students from other disciplines.
What about other markets?
Traditionally, Martial Arts have been viewed as male-dominated sports practised by particular socio-economic groups. This is changing; everyone from housewives to students to City workers to OAPs and juniors are all taking an active interest in the physical and emotional benefits that Martial Arts can bring. These new markets expect more: high quality, reliable service, knowledgeable Instructors, and value for money. The Goshin Ju-Jitsu Association recognises this and reflects this knowledge in its development plans. Our Instructors hail from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, and we draw upon their skills to offer the best possible service to our professional clients and our students.
Education and Development
The Martial Arts are widely recognised as offering far more than purely physical benefits. The Goshin Ju-Jitsu Association believes that studying the Martial Arts improves both learning skills and concentration, this can dramatically affect children\'s and young people’s behaviour in school, and in society in general, this has been repeatedly proven by the numerous workshops / course we have run within various boroughs in London with Master A Sofos, for youths, and young offenders, The impact on young adults and adults provides a fresh outlook on the way they work and learn. The organisation\'s Instructors believe that their teaching and motivational skills have a very positive effect on the students\' lives outside of classes.
