Jitsu is a martial art based on the traditional styles of Ju-Jitsu that originated and developed in medieval Japan. The core of the art comprises a system of throws, joint locks and strikes. Based on the principal of using an aggressor’s energy to their own disadvantage, Jitsu skills can be used by men, women and children to counter aggressive situations ranging from unwanted harassment to armed physical assault.

Jitsu is a progressive martial art that offers a means of personal and physical development, as well as an effective system of self-defence. Regular training can help to improve strength, fitness, flexibility, co-ordination and posture. Moreover, most people find over time that Jitsu improves their self-esteem and self-confidence. Advanced training levels are highly challenging and foster exceptional levels of physical and mental control. Jitsu training is also great fun and a fantastic way to meet new friends. Most clubs within The Jitsu Foundation offer a vibrant social life out of club training, with events organised throughout the year.

The Edinburgh City Jitsu Club trains twice a week, Mondays and Wednesdays 7-9pm at the Gorgie/Dalry Community Association, 22 McLeod Street, Gorgie EH11 2NH.
