At Martial Journey, we teach Issei Ryu Bujustu, a martial art focused on practical self-defence. We believe everybody should be able to protect themselves to the best of their ability; especially those who may not be the strongest, fastest, or toughest.
While many competitive martial arts, such as BJJ, Taekwondo, Karate, Judo, Muay Thai, and Kickboxing, focus on developing elite athletes, we offer an alternative for those who want to grow in confidence, fitness, and practical skills, without aspiring to be champions.
Issei Ryu Bujutsu teaches techniques based on leverage and body mechanics rather than brute strength or size. When it comes to fitness, every student is on their own journey of self-improvement. Even small gains in strength and conditioning can make a real difference when it matters most.
If you have any ongoing injuries or physical complaint, please notify us during your free trial. Where appropriate, we can make modifications to accommodate your needs.
