World Ju Jitsu Federation Ireland teaches a mix of kicking, punching throws and locks. The system has evolved from a combination of old Ju Jitsu styles which the Federation’s Founder, Soke Robert Clark, researched and trained in for many years. He took the best of everything and developed it into a complete training syllabus with belt grades. With his permission, David Toney developed the system further writing three training manuals, the first of which Soke Clark wrote a glowing endorsement for. We feel, over the years, our style of ju-jitsu has developed into one of the most comprehensive self defence systems available. As we have developed as an organisation, we have been proactive in targeting more females to join and coach, and now are proud to have a coaching team of both sexes with a top tier of Master Grade instructors. Senior Club Instructors have been vetted by Access NI, hold full professional training qualifications, and Public Indemnity insurance, and each club must have a qualified first aider on hand at all times. We are ahead in our field by ensuring our coaches are equipped to meet the needs of those with varying ability and disability and those with learning difficulties. All of our affiliated clubs are recognised by the Governing Body for the Sport in Northern Ireland, and as such follow their policies and procedures.
