COMBAT SPORT & SELF DEFENCE
HUDDERSFIELD, WEST YORKSHIRE



Combat Ju-Jitsu is a Combat Sambo, Krav Maga Military Combatives & Yoga based system geared towards not just self defence but also physical & mental health.



ABOUT THE CLASSES





Combat Ju-Jitsu is as much focused on personal development & Self Defence as it is competition. Pressure testing is encouraged, particularly within Combat Sambo & amateur MMA competition.



About our system





Combat Ju-Jitsu is a striking based syllabus here at FightLab, ratified by British Martial Arts & Boxing Association.


This is constantly developing as a combination of martial arts applied in many areas, such as MMA & Combat Sambo​ and covers:

  1. Striking & covering
  2. Escapes
  3. Clinch
  4. Throws & takedowns
  5. Ground fighting
  6. Weapons


HOW WE TRAIN





Learning to defend yourself and your loved ones is a challenging business. It’s a serious subject and your training should reflect that.


Our classes will challenge you, teach you, grow your fitness and conditioning but most importantly give you a real understanding of modern violence and how to deal with it.



A COMPLETE SYSTEM





This system utilises instinctive movements, aggressive counter attacks, and a no-holds-barred mentality. Our system has easy to learn fundamentals, is easy to retain, and brings students to a high-level of proficiency in hand-to-hand combat in a short period of time. Students are advised to train twice a week to progress at a normal rate.



GRADING SYSTEM





We utilise a belt system that corresponds to the level in which people train. Students are not just graded of the knowledge of techniques but also a tested RIGOROUSLY in both fitness & live sparring. Students who compete within Combat Sambo have their fight experience counted towards their overall grade.



PRESSURE TESTING





The vast majority of other Ju-Jitsu styles that only train techniques against a compliant training partner or only spar grappling with no striking.


At FightLab we believe the only way to test our combat skills is through pressure testing against a non-compliant opponent. Pressure text is done within class or competition under Combat Sambo rules.



Students have competed in the past within MMA, Combat Sambo & Muay Thai

WEAPONS





One great benefit of Kali stick training is that basic stick can be a quickly improvised weapon in modern combat or home invasion, as simple as a broom handle or walking stick. Even these makeshift staves can offer a huge advantage in melee combat as they offer a superior reach. In addition sticks can be made from nature allowing a stick practitioner to quickly fashion their weapon of mastery in almost any world setting.



Physical Responses





Learn how you can respond physically to different types of attacks. Striking techniques will include kicking, punching, close quarter and grappling.

A ‘HOLISTIC’ APPROACH TO COMBAT ARTS



YOGIC BREATH RETENTION - PRANAYAMA





Breath control is important with combat sports, particularly grappling. The problem is actually achieving that when your whole body is tensing up, when you’re fighting to get out of the tightest imaginable mount and when people are all over you in a roll. Rickson Gracie made the ancient 'Pranayama' breathing method famous as one example of how you can integrate Yoga in your combat training to help your grappling performance.

The Virtues of Bushido



Integrity



This is ensuring that the individual has the right way and mindset when making decisions. It is to guarantee that decisions are based on the proper reasons.



Courage

Benevolence



To ensure that their mind and thinking is balanced – having mercy and sympathy at the proper situation.



Respect



Based on the belief of a samurai, it is important that they respect and be polite towards everything. Their way of life meant they should be respectful of elders, respect life, and respect the belief of others.



Honesty



Honesty was always vital since the warriors believe that honesty in everything they do will acquire respect. It would also mean that they are trustworthy.



Honor



Living and dying with great honor was vital to every samurai warrior. Everything they did was with great honor; meaning, everything that they did based on their belief was with honor.



Loyalty



The samurai treated each other just like family and would safeguard and help their fellow warriors. This was important because it meant they could trust each other, knowing that they would be loyal.
