Japanese Jujutsu
Japanese Jujutsu is central to the traditional fighting techniques of the Samurai bushi, the highly skilled warriors of feudal Japan. Japanese Jujutsu includes strikes, throws, locks, chokes and pins, and with a mastery of distance, timing and strategy, these unarmed techniques provide the foundations for using traditional Japanese weapons, known collectively as bujutsu. Together, these arts form a well rounded, highly adaptable and effective fighting system, developed throughout 700 years of war and civil unrest, and so are steeped in culture, history and tradition. They continue to be practised throughout the world today as traditional Japanaese Jujutsu, Kenjutsu, Jojutsu, Bojutsu, Yarijutsu and Naginatajutsu. These arts also form the original foundation of many modern sports and disciplines including Aikido, Judo, BJJ, Hapkido and Kendo.
Our Training
At Black Snow Dojo, we train Japanese Jujutsu, Bujutsu and Budo Taijutsu. We focus on developing technical skill in both unarmed combat and with weapons, while cultivating the Budo spirit. Japanese martial arts rely on the skilful use of distance, timing, angles, weak points and whole body movement to overcome the opponent, rather than strength, speed and stamina, and in this way a weaker person can overcome a stronger or better armed opponent. Our weapons training includes the katana, bo, yari, naginata, nagamaki, jo, hanbo, kusari fundo, tanto, tessen, and kunai.

Our classes take place in our fully equipped and matted dojo in Barnham. We have free on-site parking, toilets and changing facilities. We offer group classes weekday evenings and private tuition throughout the week. Previous training is not required. Suitable for able men, women and children aged 14+.
