We have been let-down by our intended location for a course in the NE so unfortunately that course will be postponed until January. The snow and cold weather forecast for the weekend will tend to keep people from attending in any case.
We will be holding the Course in the NE as well as the course that is scheduled for January in the SW.The January Newsletter will be released early to give you plenty of warning.

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.

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.
