Welcome to the IJJF's home on the Gold Coast
About Us
Welcome to our martial arts program that combines traditional Japanese Jui-Jitsu with modern training techniques. Our classes are designed to improve your physical and mental well-being, while instilling values such as honor, bravery, compassion, honesty, and loyalty. Our program emphasises tradition and cultivates the skills and discipline necessary for advanced martial arts training. As you progress through our program, you will develop confidence, self-respect, and discipline in all aspects of your life.
To get started, simply wear comfortable clothing such as a t-shirt, sweatpants, or shorts if you don't have a uniform. We recommend bringing water and a notebook to each class. As a beginner, you will receive a white belt, and belt colors represent different stages of advancement, which are not transferable between schools.
During class, please address the instructor as “Sensei,” and use first names for other students. Bowing is a sign of respect and mental preparation, and we use specific bowing techniques in IJJF. Before learning tripping and throwing techniques, you will learn break-falling techniques and how to attack and fall safely. Our Jui-Jitsu lessons will cover joint locks, throwing, break-falling, striking and grappling.
Lastly, we ask that you listen carefully, be respectful, avoid bad behavior, ask for permission, tap out if needed, and follow our safety rules. We are excited to have you join our program and look forward to helping you achieve your martial arts goals.
