🥋 What Our Classes Involve

Our sessions Adults and Juniors of all grades, training together in a friendly, disciplined, and supportive environment. Each class focuses on one or more of the core elements of Go‑Shin Jitsu self‑defence, giving you a balanced and highly practical training experience.

Freestyle Fighting

Training begins with standing exchanges designed to develop timing, movement, and controlled contact. This includes:

• Striking combinations
• Kicks and Punches techniques
• Defensive reactions and counter‑attacks

Freestyle builds confidence and sharpens your ability to defend yourself while on your feet.

Standing Combat (Close Quarter Combat)

This area covers the moment a standing encounter moves into grappling range. You will learn:

• Grabs and holds
• Close‑range punches
• Clinch work
• Escapes and counters

Close Quarter Combat teaches you how to stay effective when an attacker gets close enough to grab or strike at short range.

Groundwork (Two Distinct Styles)

Our groundwork training is divided into two complementary systems:

Traditional Groundwork

Focused on the core grappling skills every martial artist should know:

• Pins
• Strangles
• Locks
• Control positions

This develops strong fundamentals and teaches you how to control or escape from ground situations.

Go‑Shin Groundwork

A unique, self‑defence–driven system designed for real‑world, unarmed combat scenarios. This style emphasises:

• Rapid escapes
• Practical counters
• Striking on the ground
• Returning to your feet safely

This is not sport grappling — it is functional, efficient, and built for real‑life situations.
