Welcome to the Kotokukan dojo

The Kotokukan or 'Hall of Classical Virtue' in Japanese is a traditional ju jutsu club and offers instruction through the use of proven training methods. At the Kotokukan we start with introductory techniques such as breakfalls, wrist grabs and join locks known as 'waza'. We welcome everyone and previous experience or martial arts or sport is not neccessary.

 

Classes are tailored to the students ability and knowledge to ensure they develop a solid and effective set of traditional skills effective for the modern world we live in.

 

There are no shortcuts in learning a martial art, the only way to learn is through regular training to ensure you develop an effective and correct technique. This is a very important point because you cannot move on to a more demanding level of training until you are ready. To simply rush ahead is a pointless path to follow, as at some point you will have to be corrected, better to learn correctly from day one.

 

If you come from a martial art background you may already have a fair amount of experience and knoweldge under your belt in which case we will work with you to deepen your skill of Kokamishin Ryu Jujutsu and transition to an appropiate belt within our school during your first year of regular training with us.
