Jiu-Jitsu Calgary / Edmonton
We like to let people know that regular Martial Arts classes designed specifically for Self Defense exists. Our system at www.Jiu-Jitsu-calgary.com is one of the very few Martial arts available that is specifically designed for modern Self Defense, we also have associated schools in Edmonton. If you are interested, let me know and I will ensure you receive any information you require.
Many more people would be more for themselves and or their children if they realised that such a service existed. It suits those people who are looking for a more regular structured program 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.
There are many additional benefits to learning such skills from building confidence, encourage discipline, self discipline, respect as well as increasing safety awareness. Many parents report that their children become much better focused in all they do.
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<== Although you will not be attending our clubs classes, we have associated schools in Edmonton with very similar goals.
Many parents enroll their 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 to parents and victims of Bullying.

We have created an e-book so you can gain access to this essential information. It covers the essential elements of Self Defense, the very areas covered in our main courses - Targeting and Striking, Ground Defense and Keychain Defense.

This is a great book that really gets you thinking:
My recommendation this month is “The Gift of Fear” by Gavin de Becker
A woman was attacked on Tuesday morning whilst out jogging in Edworthy Park, Calgary.
Reports say that she was hit on the head with a rock and knocked out momentarily, when she came-to the man was trying to choke her. Fortunately, the woman did manage to fight the man off, kicking him in the face and breaking his glasses.
It shows that it is possible for a woman to fight back, that you can make a difference.
This attack also shows how “It can happen” and to those who expect it least. Jogging alone in an isolated area does make you more vulnerable, and easier for an attacker to target you. If possible jog in a group or in busier areas.
It should not be the case but unfortunately there are such people as this low-life attacker that exist in the world.
There are many options available for Martial arts in Calgary.
Kung Fu, karate, Tae Kwon Do, Jiu Jitsu, Judo and Krava Maga. Then there are then more conventional systems such as Boxing and Wrestling.
Many people do not know what Martial arts are available in Calgary and then even if they do know, they don’t know what each one is.
To make it more complicated for people who do not know, there are more variations of style within each Art.
To offer advice to those people looking for Martial arts in Calgary, I would recommend that you do your due diligence and research what each of the Arts are.
If you are looking for something for Self Defense, for competition or for Traditional or Cultural purposes makes a bi difference in the style that would be most suited to you.
Go and take a good look at the ones available to you, don’t go to one session, go to several. Speak to the Instructor and see what the style is directed towards. There are many other questions that you could get answered too.
When looking for Martial arts in Calgary, take the task seriously and you will not be disappointed.
