Gifhorn. Coach Mike Morris will start a beginner group with individual training at the end of October. Why practically everyone can take part.
The successful Ju-Jutsu division of the Gifhorn Sports Association offers beginners a powerful offer: a perfect introduction to modern self-defense. “Ju-Jutsu is also somewhat of a fitness sport, but the focus is on defending against attackers. The sport was originally developed for the police,” says top coach Mike Morris.
A sport that fits into the times as self-defense
He will lead the practice evenings every Monday from October 28th from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the sports hall of the Gifhorn Adam Riese School on II. Koppelweg. Morris is convinced: “When I look at the recent reports of stabbings, jujutsu is a sport that some people will probably want to get involved in.”
He explains what exactly is behind it: “Ju-Jutsu is self-defense for women and men aged 14 and over. There is no real upper age limit because the experienced coaching team can always respond individually to personal requirements.”
The defense principle: little effort, maximum effect
Various techniques and methods would be trained against one or more attackers with and without weapons. Morris: “Ju-Jutsu was developed from several combat and self-defense sports such as karate, judo or Aikido for effective defense.” A best-of, so to speak, whereby the Ju-Jutsu approach is the economic principle to achieve the greatest possible effect with the least amount of effort to achieve.
The aim of the training is to better handle self-defense situations, said Morris. The highlight: no previous knowledge is required at all. “The training offering is wide-ranging. It includes behavior in escalating situations or in confined spaces, emergency response, response training and assertiveness,” explains Mike Morris.
The training is open to all members of the Gifhorn Sports Association
From an organizational point of view, Ju-Jutsu training is part of the regular offerings of the Gifhorn Sports Association. So it’s not about temporary courses, but about continuous training under club conditions. “The training is paid for with the SV membership fee,” emphasizes Mike Morris. There is no separate departmental fee. If you would like to try out whether Ju-Jutsu is an appropriate sport, you are always welcome as a guest participant for free training on several evenings.
