Introduction

For the 2008 Course and Grading Timetable go to NEWS.

The Jitsu Foundation Australasia is dedicated to providing instruction in the Martial Art of Jitsu.

Jitsu is the modern form of the Japanese martial art of Ju Jutsu developed by the Feudal Samurai Warrior. Jitsu, as taught by The Jitsu Foundation Australasia, is a martial art designed principally for practical self-defense in todays modern settings, using techniques that work under realistic conditions.

In training sessions, you will learn how to defend yourself from everything from unwanted grabs to punches, shoves, head-butts, chokes, kicks and a variety of weapons. You will learn how to deal with multiple attackers, armed or otherwise.

By training regularly, you will improve your general fitness, flexibility, strength, coordination, reaction time, and above all, self-confidence. Perhaps most importantly, you will gain the kind of mental control required to think you way through and safely out of potentially dangerous encounters.

This site will tell you everything you need to know to get started in the practice of Jitsu, and, for those who already study the art, there is much of interest for you here as well.
