EXETER MARTIAL ARTS
TRADITIONAL JIU JITSU / SELF DEFENCE
We have been training in Exeter since October 2006, taught by the UK Chief instructor Dr Richard Catterick.
Our system is holistic meaning that it is covers all ranges and weapon classes therefore you will find many other techniques used in other martial arts in our class. For example, in one class you may learn how to defend against a punch (boxing), handle someone who grabbed you (aikido or judo) and how to avoid an attack with a weapon (kali). In the another, you may learn powerful knees (muay thai), what to do if you're fighting close up (wing chun or jun fan) and what to do if you are falling to the ground during a fight (capoeira/BJJ).
In short you willl learn to use whatever the situation calls for, without thinking about it. This approach builds an incredibly capable martial artist. You'll learn how to deal with any situation. No matter what is thrown at you, you'll learn to act quickly and effectively.
We have a fundamental class for all beginners and peopel starting with us who are experienced in other disciplines and advanced classes for those graded to green belt and above in our style. See the time table tab for details.
