What is Jitsu?
Jitsu is a martial art based on the traditional styles of Ju-Jutsu that originated and developed in feudal Japan and was used by samurai in unarmed combat. The core of the art comprises a system of throws, joint locks, and strikes.
It is based on the principal of using an aggressor’s energy to their own disadvantage, Jitsu skills can be used by men, women, and children to counter aggressive situations ranging from unwanted harassment to armed physical assault.

No special gear is needed for a try-out! Just come in a t-shirt and long trousers (that you don’t mind being stretched) and bring a bottle of water. We train in a dojo (matted area) so need for trainers!
Your first session is always free, so come try now!
I started doing Jitsu because it looked like a good way of keeping fit & if at the same time I could learn how to defend myself then all the better. For the past 2 years I have trained under Sensei Franck’s tutelage, which has been excellent. In that time I have achieved increased confidence, great friendships and I am the fittest I have been in years. Sensei Franck is an excellent Jitsu teacher who creates a welcoming environment to learn Jitsu.
It’s hard to come up with something else than positive outcomes when I think about my Jitsu experience overall. I’m baffled when I think how poor was my perception of this martial art before I started, I was thinking about some kind of a dusty and ultra traditional practice. I found a very welcoming, fun yet intense sport with just the hint of formalism to make it really serious and progressive. Put your Gi on and join us on the mats!
I joined Jitsu in the UK whilst at University for fitness and self defense. I’ve tried other martial arts but nothing was as practical and fun as Jitsu. When I moved to Australia fortunately Sydney club opened and I could continue with this amazing style. Training is practical and challenging so you will not be disappointed. The atmosphere is really friendly and sociable so you will make lifelong friends and have good fun learning an amazing martial art.
UTS Jitsu is an incredible place to train with a strong tight knit relationship between students and teachers. I hope to train there more in the future
Six stars! Great Sensei, friendly, encouraging environment. I’ll be back for more…
