San Go Ichi Ryu Jujutsu is a style that is rooted in the concept of bun-bu ichi: theory and practice as one. Drills to perfect biomechanics and self-defence sequences are central, in a structure that instills martial arts etiquette and strategy, but also focuses on randomised self-defence and sparring, to maintain real-life functionality. The curriculum and training methodology caters to the needs of all ages and abilities, aiming to always remain true to the people, the purpose and the principles of Jujutsu.
