Ko-ryū JūJutsu Experience Days
and Private Self-Defence Classes
Step into the world of classical Japanese martial arts with our Koryū JūJutsu Experience Days and Self-Defence Sessions, held in Carlisle and across Cumbria. Rooted in centuries-old samurai traditions, these sessions offer more than just physical training — they’re a journey into discipline, awareness, and personal growth.
Tradition Meets Practical Empowerment
Koryū JūJutsu (古流柔術) translates to “old school JūJutsu” and refers to classical Japanese martial systems developed before the Meiji Restoration of 1868. These arts were designed for the battlefield — used by samurai in full armour — and focused on survival, efficiency, and adaptability in life-or-death combat.
Discover the core skills behind a martial art with over 500 years of history, and how it applies to self-defence, or dive deeper into the principles through focused sessions taking you through a range of kata techniques.
Whether you're looking for something uniquely different for your stag or hen-do, an effective small-group private self-defence session, or a 2-day retreat full of something you will not get anywhere else, our Japan-graded instructors offer a range of original activities for you, your business, or your organisation.
Private Self-Defence Sessions
Learn core principles from Ko-ryū JūJutsu that allow you to escape an attack when it can't be avoided. No fine motor skills required, just a small set of practical techniques which remove the need for guesswork, and leave you in a position of structural superiority, without need for strength.
Suitable for small private or corporate groups, we come to you at your office or premises.
Ko-ryū JūJutsu Experience Days
Discover the soft-skills behind a genuine Ko-ryū JūJutsu style, brought to the UK from Japan in the late 1990's. We'll introduce you to a range of the ettiquette concepts, principles, and kata techniques in an enjoyable, yet serious way. Suitable for business and corporate team-building days, stag and hen dos, or for small groups. Learn something new, with a practical application outside of the event.
Ko-ryū JūJutsu Weekend Retreats
Organised throughout the year, or on request where available, our Ko-ryū JūJutsu retreats deliver an experience you will not get anywhere else. We'll work on the mindset behind Ko-ryū JūJutsu, and develop both practical self-defence skills, alongside your self-confidence. With a deep-dive into Ko-ryū JūJutsu kata, including one of our weapons kata, this is something you will never forget.
