Why Choose Ju Jitsu and Kickboxing?
Both Ju Jitsu and kickboxing are highly effective martial arts, but they offer different benefits. Here’s a quick comparison:
Ju Jitsu: A traditional Japanese martial art, Ju Jitsu focuses on using leverage and technique to neutralise an opponent. It’s ideal for learning self-defence, improving flexibility, and building mental focus. Through grappling, joint locks, and throws, Ju Jitsu teaches you how to defend yourself in close-quarter situations.
Kickboxing: Kickboxing is a dynamic martial art that combines boxing with karate-style kicks. It’s perfect for those looking to improve their cardiovascular health, build strength, and increase agility. Kickboxing is also a fantastic way to relieve stress while gaining powerful striking techniques.
 
What to Expect as a Beginner
Starting something new can be daunting, but with the right mindset, your Ju Jitsu or kickboxing journey will be both exciting and fulfilling. Here’s what you can expect:

Fundamentals First
As a beginner, you’ll start with the basics. In Ju Jitsu, you’ll learn simple moves like grips, basic throws, and positions that lay the foundation for more advanced techniques. For kickboxing, you’ll start by mastering essential stances, punches, and kicks.

Physical Fitness
Both arts require physical conditioning. Ju Jitsu will improve your flexibility, balance, and core strength, while kickboxing focuses on building cardiovascular endurance and muscle strength. Prepare to sweat and get stronger with each class!
