Our news can be syndicated by using these rss feeds.    | 2012 Randori Competition National Champions Located in Central London, the University College London Union Jitsu Club is a martial arts club that focuses on practical self-defence using techniques that really work. Jiu Jitsu (or Juijitsu or just Jitsu) is a martial art that does not rely on strength, so men and women of any size can and do become very good at it. In the heart of Bloomsbury, near Euston Station and minutes from Tottenham Court Road, the UCLU Jitsu Club is easy to find. There are maps here. The UCLU Jitsu Club has been training twice each week in Bloomsbury since 1985. Our instructor, James Garvey Sensei, Nidan, has been with the club since 1994. Because our instructors take no money, training is very inexpensive. The club has had some amazing success in national competitions, with 13 national titles - including the Randori Nationals in March 2009, 2011 and 2012. (Details here.) If you want to be part of something that is already a great success, look no further. Beginners are welcome all year round. If you want to find out more, there are answers to many questions in the side bar. Contact Us if you have any further questions or just turn up to any session. As the sessions are practical, it's best to wear something loose and comfortable. Your first session is free, so you can just give it a try to see if Jitsu is for you.
