Jiu Jitsu Calgary -
Our Self Defense Courses are certainly not a sales plug for our Jiu Jitsu Classes but we like to let people know that it actually exists. Jiu Jitsu Calgary is one of the very few Martial arts available that is specifically designed for modern Self Defense. Many more people would be more interested for themselves and or their children if they realised that such a service existed. It suits those people who are looking for a more organised, structured and regular classes and want to train 2-3 times per week.
Your teenage or older children are welcome to accompany you on our Self Defense Courses, however, the information taught to children is very different for obvious reasons, therefore, we recommend that you get them involved in a regular program.
Martial Arts programs do not necessarily teach Self Defense or Safety Awareness so if that is what you are hoping for, talk to the Instructor to ensure that a good percentage of the program is dedicated to it.
Young kids require a more structured learning environment with positive reinforcement and lots of fun. Click here for more information on Martial arts for Kids ==>Kids Self Defense Classes<==
Many parents enroll there children in Martial arts programs to help prevent or stop bullying. If bullying in particular is an issue for you or someone you know, we came across an excellent guide tp parents and victims of Bullying.

Free Self Defense Book -
You will see over on the right a simple form that you can use to claim a copy of our Free Self Defense Book. It includes lots of information that you will find very useful. We are currently recreating a .pdf version that you will automatically receive when the update is complete.
___
Fundraising -
We are always making efforts to raise money so that we can always make Free Self Defense Courses available to anyone with a need or desire to learn Self Defense.
Maybe you want to attend a course but cannot attend on the dates we have organised, or maybe you have attended a course and would like the course information for reference.
We have created an e-book where you can gain access to that information in the Self Defense Book. It covers the essential elements of Self Defense, the very areas covered in our main courses - Targeting and Striking, Ground Defense and Keychain Defense.
Besides providing Free Self Defense Courses in Calgary and Edmonton, we also heavily subsidise our children’s Jiu-Jitsu programs to help bring down any financial barriers there. If you have any other effective fundraising ideas, we are always open to hear them.
We want to keep these Free Self Defense Courses available for as long as their is a need for them.

Coming Soon -
We have a membership site in progress where you will be able to access some excellent information, in the form of video, audio and written articles.

I would like to sign up for the class in Queensland. I am three months pregnant, please let me know if this would be an issue.
As for the articles I found them all very informative, especially with all the police warnings that are going out about dangerous offenders being realeased. I appreciate that the articles included information on how to not become a victim and not just what to do when you are a victim.
“Have Belief in Your Self Defense” is the article I chose to read and comment on. I agreed and reminisced on a few of my own situations, that had me thinking after all was said and done, about how far would I go to defend myself, that’s a good question.
The article spoke about the panic and fear that go hand in hand as well as the paragraph regarding, complex and fine motor skills, and how they cannot not be applied by most people in high stress situation, this is very accurate. Touching on the emotional aspects, a definite must! There is nothing more emotionally draining they fearing for your own life, or the fear of “what are they going do to me”
I enjoyed the article immensely and can admit that this is why I signed up.
I loved the article on overcoming fear. The last part really spoke to me about how there are people out there every day that fight and overcome their fear to work in their jobs, so why cant I do that to save my own life. It is really inspiring. Thank you.
