FAQ's
What is Mizu Ryu Ju Jutsu?
Mizu Ryu Ju Jutsu is a Gendai or modern Japanese style of Ju Jutsu, founded in Basingstoke, 24th April 1994.
It is suitable for children as well as adults and as an inclusive system,
'we welcome all, and discriminate against none'.
The syllabus is a mixture of traditional Ju Jutsu techniques (punches, kicks, throws and groundwork), for both a sport application and self defence.
If you put Judo, Karate and Aikido together, that would give you some idea of the vast technical range covered by Ju Jutsu.
We have a modern outlook to situational awareness and all the mental and emotional aspects that go in tandem with that training. We train with some of the traditional techniques which form the basis of a sound self defence, tempered by a modern outlook & application, based on real experience.
Many traditionalists don't compete.
Many modern fighters have no traditional foundation.
Many of both have no real fight experience...............................we have all 3.

Is studying martial arts good for you?
Yes. In the last couple of decades, more scientific research has been undertaken and the results show that, the study of traditional martial arts is good for positive mental attitude, discipline and respect, not just the physical benefits.
"The Effect of Traditional Martial Arts Training on Children's Aggressiveness"
(1986)
by Zivin et al.
Children who participated in martial arts training showed significant decreases in aggressiveness compared to the control group. Additionally, they exhibited better behaviour in school and more respect for authority.
"Martial Arts Intervention Decreases Aggression in Children with Behavioural Problems" (2018) by Twemlow et al
Training led to significant reductions in aggressive behaviour and improvements in self-regulation and empathy. The study emphasized the role of martial arts in teaching respect, self-discipline, and conflict resolution.
"Martial Arts Training as a Mental Health Intervention for Children?"
(2001) by Lakes & Hoyt
Children involved in martial arts showed improved self-regulation, including better emotional control, greater attention, and more persistence in challenging tasks. These behavioural improvements were linked to the structured, disciplined environment of martial arts.
Can anyone learn Ju Jutsu?
YES! Self defence is an important skill to learn and our confidence building, anti-bullying and autism ally messages, are just as important as the physical aspects we practice at the club.
We welcome all new members, children 6+ yrs, students and other adults alike, and we are supported by our partners below, to offer inclusive training to all who want to join.
