About Hokutoryu Ju-Jutsu
Hokutoryu Ju-Jutsu combines hard core workout with effective and innovative martial arts. It is based on a traditional Japanese combat system that has been adapted to meet the needs of modern society.
Get in shape and learn effective self-defense at the same time! We combine Cross-training, Insanity style workouts, and other hard core training methods in our training program.
Hokutoryu Ju-Jutsu combines street smart strategies and tactics for real-life self-defense. Our training includes learning of correct timing of defense and offense, releases, counters, joint locks, holds, throws, strikes, kicks, and chokes to subdue or disable one or more unarmed or armed opponents. Training includes also defense against modern armed assault.
Our students include various groups that due to their different situations require practical, effective, real-life self-defense and combat training. These are juniors (7-14 year olds), adults, law enforcement (police, sheriff, etc.), probation officers, military, personal protection (bodyguards), nurses, real estate agents, etc.
We use IJF approved tatami mats in our training for your comfort and safety.
Hokutoryu Ju-Jutsu was established 37 years ago by Soke Auvo Niiniketo (10th Dan) in Finland.
