Welcome to Exeter Jiu Jitsu

We are the Exeter City Club of Seishin Mizu Ryu Tatakai Jutsu, which is a part of Elite Martial Arts. Our club is for adults aged over 16yrs.

We have an Exeter childrens class whose website is : The Lionhearts programme

We have been training in Exeter since October 2006, taught by the UK Cheif instructor Dr Richard Catterick.

Our system is holistic meaning that it is covers all ranges and weapon classes therefore you will find many other techniques used in other martial arts in our class. For example, in one class you may learn how to defend against a punch (boxing), handle someone who grabbed you (aikido or judo) and how to avoid an attack with a weapon (kali). In the another, you may learn powerful knees (muay thai), what to do if you're fighting close up (wing chun or jun fan) and what to do if you are falling to the ground during a fight (capoeira/BJJ).

In short you willl learn to use whatever the situation calls for, without thinking about it. This approach builds an incredibly capable martial artist. You'll learn how to deal with any situation. No matter what is thrown at you, you'll learn to act quickly and effectively.

We train in dojos at Fitness First and the West Exe College. See training times here.
