I have found these courses essential for perfecting my technique. Along with my practice in the Dojo, my training has become a more well rounded experience over all.

Ju Jitsu Yellow Belt Course

The one-on-one sessions with Andy Sensei are fantastic as he takes the time to meet his students, review their form and provide constructive feedback. All you need is space, time and the self-discipline to train.

I cannot recommend this enough!

You get the most out of the dojo sessions if you study the curriculum at home and just have to practice the application in class – this way you get confident for the grading in no time!
