9) Do many people join and then quit?
Kempo Jujitsu is a martial skill requiring a long term commitment for progression. We have a 90% retention rate, one of the highest of all martial arts. Most people who start kempo Jujitsu enjoy the training and continue through to high grades.
10) Will I have to learn Japanese ?
Juniors and Seniors train using both the English and Japanese names for the techniques.
All classes begin with warming-up and stretching exercises.
You will not be expected to push yourself further than you are able to go. You will soon find that you begin to benefit, whatever your standard of fitness.
12) Is there discipline in Bushi Kempo Jujitsu ?
Both discipline and etiquette exist for safety and to develop trust and mutual respect for your teacher and fellow students.
There are a few basic rules of etiquette that you will be taught.
There are usually three oppurtunities to grade per year. They are not obligatory, all students are encouraged to progress at their own pace.
Belts are used as an indicator of progress, knowledge and experience. In Kempo Jujitsu the belts are as follows:
Junior belts:
Red (8th Mon), Yellow (7th Mon), Orange (6th Mon), Green (5th Mon), Purple (4th Mon), Blue (3rd Mon), Brown (2nd Mon), Brown (1st Mon), Junior Black
Senior belts:
Red (8th Kyu), Yellow (7th Kyu,) Orange (6th Kyu), Green (5th Kyu), Purple (4th Kyu), Blue (3rd Kyu), Brown (2nd Kyu), Brown (1st Kyu), Senior Black (with progression to further Dan grades)
15) How often should I train ?
How often you train is entirely up to you although at least once a week is recommended to start with. The more you train, the better you will be. There are classes every night of the week except sundays, in a variety of locations throughout Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire.
