Carlisle Ju-Jitsu and Nunchaku club was set up back in 2008.
The club has seen many students come through the doors, and some of those students have gone on to take part in competitions abroad, competing in combat fights in events with 120+ other competitors.
Students have started through all different avenues and for lots of different reasons: some have come for the fitness, others for self-defence knowledge and some for the social aspect but all have gained a level of confidence, achievement and improvement in all aspects of their lives. As an example of this, please find below a student testimonial, and for anybody interested in being part of this,
please follow the link below where you will find all our current offers,
which change throughout the year.

-Testimonial by – Magdalena Ziolo-
” Hi!
I’m Magdalena Ziolo and I came from Poland. I’m Fiftteen years old and I was going on ju-jitsu lessons since I lived in Carlisle three years. I start to really enjoy ju-jitsu lessons and I absolutely love it! When I had my first lesson I found it really challenging and I gave it a try. I also found my sensei is really nice and keen to help which means he’s really helpful. At the beginning I found it hard because I wasn’t quite sure what to do so my sensei was already there for me. He tried to help me and I did my best. Why I always come to this lessons is because it helps me to keep myself confident so I can believe in myself and keep on going, it has really good fitness so it keeps me on the move and fit and it also helps me in self defense skills when needed. Before I didn’t joined ju-jitsu training I was pretty lost, shy, unconfident and weak. Me and my dad found a good activity for me to keep me busy and I thought that it might be an interesting activity to teach me about self defense. Later we both found out how good it is and how much it’s worth to keep me fit and confident.
I saw my sensei showing us some exercises and moves to do and I also saw how self-confident are he’s moves and I think that he’s a really amazing person. I never saw a concentrated, confident as him! Now when I go on ju-jitsu lessons I’m pretty confident and I believe in myself. I have a blue belt grade and I try to work on purple belt. I think it’s an enjoyable lesson for small children, teenagers and adults also at any age. I really recommend the ju-jitsu lessons because it’s fun for all children, it has good self-defense skills, it keeps all people on good move and fit and in my opinion it’s fantastic! I really recommend it!”
