Ju Jutsu is the ancient Japanese art of self-defence used by the Samurai in feudal Japan. Jan de Jong Ju Jutsu is a comprehensive, current and practical system of self-defence which can be described as an unarmed self-defence system that can be applied against armed or unarmed assailants. The range of techniques is vast and the combinations and variations are endless.

We are proud to offer a balance that recognises measured and reasonable responses to any given situation within the principles of traditional Aikido.

We have been a part of Jan de Jong Dojo for the past 5 years, and it has been a greatly positive and rewarding experience for both of my sons and family. All of the Sensei, and in particular Sensei Maggie, are incredible, especially when dealing with children.
Being someone of more advanced years, as well as being a member of Jan de Jong Martial Arts Fitness, I find, apart from the obvious advantage of receiving instruction in a sophisticated and effective self defence system, that there are other valuable benefits to be gained from this school.
I have been a student with Jan de Jong for 12 years. It has been rewarding on many levels. I have learned effective self-defence skills based on the art of jujutsu, which is particularly suited to me as it emphasises efficiency over power.
I walked in the door of the Jan de Jong dojo looking for a martial art that could help me practice mindfulness. The Jan de Jong dojo community that Maggie Sensei and Paul Sensei have gathered around them is welcoming and inclusive.
Thank you, Maggie, for running a fantastic self-defence course for girls over the school holidays. My girls discovered a new confidence in the way they can use their bodies and their voices to deal with confronting situations.
I started training in self defence mid 2002 with Jan de Jong Martial Arts Fitness. I have found that the school's method of training is appropriate to the level of the student, enabling one to reach his potential in a safe environment.
Our eight year old son, who is on the spectrum, has been doing Ju Jutsu classes with Maggie and Paul at Jan de Jong Martial Arts Fitness for two years. Under Maggie's calm and skilled tutelage, our son has learnt to listen respectfully, focus and concentrate.
It is with great pleasure that I write a letter of recommendation for Paul Connolly and Jan de Jong Martial Arts. Having worked for many years in social work and as a mentor and social trainer, I am aware of how difficult it can be to gain trust and support positive changes.
This is to confirm that I recently engaged the services of Jan de Jong Martial Arts Fitness to provide nine weeks of self defence training for two groups of 15 people. The program was very successful and I highly recommend the services.
