Jishin-Do Jiu-Jitsu at Nanaimo Combative Arts

What is Jiu-Jitsu?

Jiu-Jitsu is a practical and effective system for self-defense.
Traditional Jiu-Jitsu is the parent of the Japanese martial arts. It is the art which Judo (throws and mat work), Karate (kicking, blocking and punching), and Aikido (joint and holding locks) have been drawn.

What benefits will I receive?

How fast can I progress?

Jiu-Jitsu and Arnis are not something that you will pick up in one or two easy lessons. to have a basic grasp of the fundamentals generally takes up to six months.

Progression from white belt to black belt depends solely on the individual.

What are classes like and what will I learn?

Students should arrive 10-15 minutes early to get ready for class. Students are encouraged to choose the classes which only interest you. You will be assigned a training partner to work with for that class, or part of that class. Classes include curriculum / unarmed self-defense class, grappling class, and weapons class (Arnis). These classes include conditioning exercises, stretching, drills, partner drills, and violent confrontation theory.

There are no choreographed sequences (Kata, Forms or Patterns). the techniques within the curriculum do not require you to stretch and warm up before executing them, because that does not reflect the real world. However, we realize that there are more victims of poor fitness than violence so callisthenics and stretching are a small part of our routine. As well, during your training other instructors from other martial arts will come to give seminars on their specialized fields, and many students are from other martial arts as well, so you will be benefited with a large variety of body types and sizes, and different level of skill to work out with.
