Frequently Asked Questions

How much is JuJitsu on a Monday, Tuesday and Thurdsay?
The first lesson is completely free. After your first lesson, it is £6 for children (under 16 years old) and £8 for adults (over 16 years old).

What shall I wear when training?
If you are training for JuJitsu, you should just wear a tracksuit or some loose clothing. After a number of lessons, you can then buy a Gi which are around £30. Speak to your Sensei about this and they will be able to order one for you.

How fit do I have to be?
This does not matter. You will train at the pace at which you are most comfortable and capable.

Is JuJitsu for men or women?
JuJitsu is available to anyone of any shape or size or gender.

What would a typical lesson be like?
For adults, the first 30 – 45 minutes will be made up of cardio excercises such as sit-ups and press-ups. There is also some grapling and boxing which is at the begining of the lesson. This will then be followed by syllabus or off-syllabus moves. Syllabus moves will be moves on your belt that you will be learning and off-syllabus will be moves that the Sensei teaching that evening choose to show the students.

Am I allowed to drink during the lesson?
Yes, you can drink at any time during the lesson and you would be allowed to have as many breaks as you wish.

Is JuJitsu just about learning to fight?
No. Whilst we feel JuJitsu is the best method of self defense, it will also teach you skills such as awareness and coordination. It will also help with your confidence and self-esteem and help you deal with anxiety and stress.

How long does it take to get my Black Belt?
This is the most common question that our Sensei’s (teachers) are asked. There is no set time to get your black belt. When you start JuJitsu, you will wear a white belt, although you would not have earned it. Once you have learnt your White Belt syllabus and passed your grading, you will then become a White Belt. The belts that follow are; Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Brown and Black Belt. After Black Belt, then you can become a 1st Dan, 2nd Dan and so on. JuJitsu is a journey and a journey that will benefit you greatly for life.
