A club unlike others that is a family, through training with Ishin Ryu you will learn: crucial and effective self defence techniques, a history of the club and Ju Jitsu, disciplined calisthenics and HIIT training to get you fit to fight. The club has many social events also to get to know everyone outside of the dojos even more. The club hosts insightful seminars also such as warrior. I am currently training at Bushey , Borehamwood and Thetford and always have something to think about or talk to others about off and on the tatami. The instructors are very down to earth and approachable regarding any questions. They offer the best advice when correcting techniques or for any other queries related to events or training to help your Ju-Jitsu outside of the clubs hours.

Amazing club run by amazing Sensei's. Both my boys and i have been training for years. Self defence at its finest. Ishin Ryu Ju Jitsu is more than a club, it's a family.

Fantastic training facilities, expert tuition from leading Ju Jitsu practitioners. The Honbu dojo is fantastic and gives you the real sensation of being in a Japanese built dojo. Everyone is very welcoming and make you feel at home in no time...

Having joined Ishin Ryu when I was much younger and having recently returned - I can say that the level of training, support and knowledge has been consistent throughout. Teaching discipline, fitness and, most importantly, self defence - Ishin Ryu Ju Jitsu offers the right knowledge and skills to keep yourself, your friends and family safe in these current times that unfortunately does include opportunity criminals and attackers.

We would like to thank you all and most especially Sensei Tom, MOST sincerely for your dedication, energy, good humour and spirit to keep the clubs going in these challenging times. The mental and physical discipline of the classes really has been extremely beneficial to both the physical and mental health of Ashley as he’s entered his adolescence - and we shall be ensuring that he maintains his training until classes can resume. The happiest of Christmases to you all!

I've been training here at Ishin Ryu Ju Jitsu Bushey for several years and I can say that I've enjoyed every moment of being here and getting involved with many other aspects of the club. Our Sensei(s) here are amazing at what they do. Of course, the teaching of self-defence techniques is exceptional and a core part of the club, but the community and friendliness here is really great too. The focus on discipline and fitness also makes being a part of this club personally fulfilling. This club is great for all, no matter whether joining as a child or adult, and to put it quite simply, you won't find such high quality from a martial arts club anywhere else.

Just a short post to say Hi to all from Ishin Ryu that attended last weekend's Kodosai. Being a student of Sankukai Karate I'd never experienced Ju-Jitsu first-hand. Soke Pell's instruction was absolutely first-rate, encouraging and very informative. The weapon disarming techniques we were shown were fascinating as were the locks and finishes ! I don't think I've ever been thrown so hard and fast as when Soke Pell spotted a problem with my training partners wrist lock during a disarming technique. A big thanks to all at Ishin Ryu for your time and diligence Ossu !

All right mate, We first chatted on the practice mat, and we were talking about BJJ jiu jitsu etc - I made the mistake of thinking that Ishin Ryu was 'traditional' jiu jitsu – Ishin Ryu is not that for sure. To be honest I wanted to see your fights on the day as I thought you might get throws etc but was fairly convinced that you would be out of your depth on the ground, when we bumped into each other again in the changing rooms i almost couldn't believe what I was hearing (flying triangles and choke outs etc) and had to see your fights, when I did, I’ll be honest I thought wow! you've put up a very very impressive performance and you've got far more ground skill than I thought you would have fair play mate definitely impressed, also particularly impressed with the baseball choke, that is a hard choke to make stick, I’ve tried it loads of times in training and only got a tap once, it's not particularly high percentage and the technique is fairly particular in as much as you can be putting all your effort in and you don't quite get enough pressure to make the guy tap out, being as you've made your opponent go to sleep I would have to assume you've not only practiced it but perfected the technique over time? Anyway, well done and maybe you'll be at the next tournament. Cheers,
Thadd
