Shihan
Our club is run by Shihan Brian Burgess 5th dan
Over the years shihan has trained to a high level in many
other fighting and martial arts disciplines (including boxing,
aikido and judo). Extensive knowledge of first aid and
acupressure also form an integral part of shihans outstanding
martial arts knowledge. Shihan integrates his wealth of martial
arts knowledge in all styles and teaches them under the Hakudu Ryu umbrella.
Shihan has over 30 years martial arts experience under his belt
and has a wealth of knowledge to pass
on helping to ensure that the martial art he knows and loves continues
to evolve and thrive whilst making sure that the traditional side
of the art is not lost.
Shihan has held many lectures and seminars over the years and has been commissioned to train restraint techniques to police officers as well as unarmed combat techniques to army soldiers.
What is Ju-Jitsu, can anyone do it ?
The roots of Ju-Jitsu rest with the samurai warrior and date back to the 6th century. The empty handed grappling techniques used by the Samurai were secondary to their extraordinary weapons skills.
Over the years Ju-Jitsu has evolved and now incorporates many techniques from other martial arts disciplines which gives it the unique role as being the most complete all round martial art and includes kicking, striking, throwing, arm locks, leg locks, strangles, restraints, ground work and weapons training.
Because of the wide range and type of skills available Ju-Jitsu makes a perfect self defence martial art and is suitable for all ages and abilities.
