How can I or my children benefit ? The obvious way is of course the development of the student’s physical strength, stamina and agility. Many people will feel their self confidence growing not only as part of their ability to defend themselves but also as they develop social skills, finding that they are valued as training partners and a member of a club. Training is based on co-operation rather than competition thus promoting mutual respect and interaction rather than aggression. Children are encouraged not only by the attainment of new belts every few months but by the weekly or monthly presentation of student awards for "most improved" or "biggest contribution" to the training sesions.

We open our doors and stretch out our hands to anyone from every gender and creed who wishes to train .
The objectives of the club are to encourage and co-ordinate the pursuit of the sport and recreation of Ju Jitsu amongst its members. Also to provide good and enjoyable training, maintaining a good club morale and promoting the martial arts tradition of respect both for ones fellow person and for oneself.}
Ju Jitsu at Monarch is taught as a progressive system using a coloured belt grading as the student becomes more proficient. Starting off with basic and simple techniques at the white belt the student moves to more complex and devastating movements to the black belt and beyond. At each step the level of skill , both physical and mental develops. The syllabus covers aspects of punching and kicking, as in karate, the use of knees and elbows, from Thai boxing, throws, locks and restraints, -judo and aikido, disarming, from modern unarmed combat and the applications of these to self defence.
In addition to this formal syllabus students have the opportunity to broaden their horizons with competition at local, national or international level, both in demonstration of skills and the combatative "sports Ju Jitsu. As well as hosting its own competitions and events Monarch Ju Jitsu eneter the Ty-Ga international competition at Crystal Palace and the OPen Irish Cup. Ther is training in use of traditional and modern martial arts weaponry Students progress at their own rate - every belt is a “big goal”. Our instructors coach each pupil individually on technique so that the student can reach her own goal. We believe that “a black belt is only a white belt that didn’t quit”.
