Junior Go‑Shin Jitsu (Ages 6–8 & 9–13)
Our Junior Go‑Shin Jitsu programme is designed specifically for young people who want to learn practical, effective self‑defence in a safe, structured, and confidence‑building environment.
🌟 A Style Perfect for Kids
Our system is ideal for children who want to learn the real‑world self‑defence side of Ju‑Jitsu.
The syllabus mirrors our adult programme but is adapted for younger students, focusing on:
• Freestyle fighting
• Close‑quarter combat
• Groundwork
• Practical self‑defence skills
This gives children a strong foundation while keeping training fun, engaging, and age‑appropriate.
💪 Building Confidence & Character
Our classes are all about bringing out the best in every child.
Some kids arrive full of confidence, others are more reserved — and that’s absolutely fine. With patient, experienced instructors who specialise in junior coaching, it’s amazing to see how quickly children grow, develop, and come out of their shell.
We help them:
• Build confidence
• Improve focus and discipline
• Develop resilience
• Learn to stand up for themselves
• Discover their inner fighter in a positive, controlled way
🥋 Progression & Achievement
Kids’ gradings are held regularly, and with commitment and hard work, they can progress all the way to Junior Black Belt. Parents can feel proud knowing their child is learning real skills that help them stay safe and avoid being pushed around.
As with our adult club, there are no grading fees — ever.
🛡️ Safety & Professionalism
Your child’s safety is our priority.
From the moment they join, they are fully covered by insurance, and all training is delivered in a controlled, supervised environment.
Sensei Nilton is the lead instructor for our junior club. He holds full DBS clearance and has been the main sensei and chief instructor since the club’s reopening, bringing years of experience, passion, and dedication to every session.
What to Expect...
🥋 Joining Our Junior Go‑Shin Jitsu Classes
A Supportive Start for Every Child
Just like with our senior classes, we begin with a friendly chat with both parent and child. This helps us make sure the class is suitable and that your child feels comfortable and ready to begin their journey.
If all goes well — well done and welcome to the club.
🧭 What Your Child Will Learn
Junior students follow the same core syllabus as our seniors, but at a pace tailored to their age and development. We place extra emphasis on:
- Freestyle fighting
- Groundwork
- Developing the ability to fight confidently both standing and on the ground
This balanced approach builds real, practical self‑defence skills while keeping training fun, structured, and safe.
💪 Fitness, Confidence & Discipline
As they train, children naturally become fitter, faster, and more coordinated. But the biggest transformation is often in their confidence and discipline.
They learn to:
- Believe in themselves
- Stay calm under pressure
- Focus better at school
- Carry themselves with pride
These qualities stay with them far beyond the dojo.
🛡️ Why Self‑Defence Matters
Bullying is sadly more common than ever — affecting both boys and girls. Learning self‑defence gives children the tools to navigate school life with confidence, helping them focus on their studies instead of worrying about intimidation or peer pressure.
We teach them to be strong, not aggressive; confident, not confrontational; resilient, not fearful.
🗓️ Junior Classes
Our kids/junior class runs every Friday, taught by Senseis with extensive experience in coaching children. They bring the perfect balance of fun, discipline, and encouragement — helping young students enjoy getting stronger, tougher, and more self‑assured without ever losing the joy of training.
🥋 Leadership & Experience
Shihan Mike Ward, 9th Dan, oversees the club with decades of experience and a deep commitment to developing young martial artists. His guidance ensures that every child receives high‑quality instruction rooted in tradition, respect, and real‑world effectiveness
