GOSHU-RYU AIKI JIU JITSU (GRAJJ) – Learn the practical and internationally acclaimed martial arts system of choice used by the world’s biggest metropolitan police department: Tokyo Metropolitan Police (& Riot Squad). A form of Jujutsu tested throughout centuries of warfare since the 1200s, and still as practical in our modern world today as the times in which it was forged.
SHINTO MUSO RYU JOJUTSU – In addition, learn the ancient weapons systems of the Japanese samurai. Through this 600 year-old sword and staff art you will gain insight into the combative mindset while training in a safe and supportive environment – development for the modern warrior within everyone!
CARLOS MACHADO JIU JITSU (BJJ) – Furthermore, as an optional adjunct to our primary art of GRAJJ, learn this contemporary ground fighting sport trained internationally by many of the world’s best combat sports athletes.
EXCLUSIVE OFFER TO OUR DOJO

In light of societal events, and in honour of our martial art’s heritage of a close connection to Japan’s law enforcement training (Tokyo Riot and Metro Police), we’d like to honour the service of our local law enforcement workers: ANY CURRENT QUEENSLAND POLICE AND CORRECTIONS WORKERS WILL TRAIN FOR FREE.
If our dojo is to hold strong to its motto of “community before everything, service before self”, then it is only natural that we extend this invitation to our police in the interest of service. If you are a Qld Police or Corrections Officer, feel free to contact the dojo to enact this policy and begin training today for free!
