About Bissett Jiu-Jitsu

Japanese Jiu-Jitsu

Before MMA, Aikido, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo there was Japanese Jiu-Jitsu—the hand-to-hand, close-combat martial art of the Japanese Samurai.

Japanese JIU-JITSU was never designed as a sport, or a game.  JIU-JITSU is a fundamental ‘life-skill’ … a set of abilities that is necessary to help you survive in an increasingly hostile world.  JIU-JITSU works consistently because it is based on simple applied physics, redirection of force, and focussed pain compliance. To train with BISSETT JIU-JITSU is to prepare for serious, potentially dangerous real-life situations.

In repeated life-and-death situations, JIU-JITSU has consistently saved the lives of those who have invested their time and effort in learning these critical skills.

No other system of self-defense employs the full range of tactics that belong to BISSETT JIU-JITSU, including extensive grappling and groundwork, all but ignored by most other combat or ‘Martial’ arts.

Our job at BISSETT JIU-JITSU is simply to provide the best training available anywhere to effectively deal with hostile confrontations. We prepare our students to act and respond appropriately to a complete range of attacks, and to be fluent with all aspects of facing confrontation.
