JIU JITSU​

JIU JITSU​

Jiu Jitsu is a traditional Japanese martial art which relies on technique rather than strength to defend against one or multiple opponents of any size, weight, and gender. This martial art has survived the past couple centuries and morphed from a battlefield martial art to an effective form of modern-day self-defence.

You will learn how to defend punches, grabs, weapons, and more while you’re with us.

The style of Jiu Jitsu we practice at Exeter Martial Arts is called Seishin Mizu Ryu Tatakai Jutsu

and is led by UK Chief Instructor Dr Richard Catterick. He has a staggering,  just short of,  30 years jiu jitsu  experience under his belt and is  6th degree black belt to boot  with the Sport England Governing Body  the BJJAGB. Our  dojo is a the governing body centre of excellence in the South West

There is a good mix of men and women across a wide age range who train in our friendly classes and we welcome beginners and experienced students alike. We also have close links with the Exeter University

and Exeter College Jiu Jitsu clubs.

Whatever your ability, our fundamental jiu jitsu programme will allow you to easily get to grips with our system

so you can progress to our advanced level classes with a solid foundation. If you’re looking for self-defence,
