I came to Leeds thinking this time I HAVE to take up a martial art but with so many on offer which do i choose? At the Jitsu Give It A Go session, the friendly welcoming faces, helpful and encouraging members and the interesting techniques made this decision easy for me. 2 and half years later I now have a light blue belt which I thought would be impossible to achieve. BUT with the help and commitment of everyone in the club, I did it.

I’ve met some lovely people through Leeds/Regional/National Jitsu events and at Leeds we’re almost like a little family – I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being part of it all. The positive atmosphere, enthusiastic instructors and the general vibe at Jitsu really makes you want to succeed and develop, not only as a jitsuka, but also as a person. For anyone contemplating giving Jitsu a go, I can’t stress enough why you should try it out!
