Atemi Jitsui is designed to be accessible to all ages, genders, and skill levels, making it an excellent choice for teaching children the basics of martial arts. Our ‘Dragon’ students will learn to use their body in a way that is most effective for their size, strength, and skill level.
There are infinite benefits for young children acquiring the skills our martial arts school can teach. Coaching your child to stay focused and fit while training their ability to react quickly and appropriately in different scenarios. Atemi Jitsu is based on traditional martial arts and utilises a variety of strikes, throws, chokes, and joint locks to gain an advantage in a fight. The focus is on using the body to move the opponent to gain control and defend oneself. Atemi Jitsu also teaches students to develop situational awareness, create distance, and use the environment to their advantage.
