GETTING STARTED
Beginners are welcome at all lessons. You don't need any special equipment to begin training, a tracksuit or loose clothing (or martial arts suit) is fine for the first few lessons.

The training is catered to the individual's own ability level and classes are in a friendly atmosphere. If want to find out more please contact us for more information.
(Please note that in the case of children under 18 a parent or guardian must sign a NLJJA membership form giving permission for you to practice)

UNIFORM
Once you decide Jujutsu is for you uniforms are supplied through the club with the NLJJA embroidery on the chest. These suits are a high quality pre shrunk suit and cost £20 up to size 3 and £25 for larger suits.

OTHER EQUIPMENT
As adult and teen students progress in your first year of training they will probably want to purchase their own wooden weapons such as chobo and bokken.

THE DOJO
We have our own full time dojo (training hall) located in the Atlas Works on Nelson Street.

FACILITIES
Our dojo has separate male and female changing rooms with showers, and a wide variety of martial arts specific training equipment, including a 108m2 matted area, a wide variety of striking, weight and martial arts specific training equipment.

Outside of class times the dojo is open as a members only martial artists gym, we are the only full time dojo in Carlisle with membership open to martial artists of other styles (non NLJJA members) and the general public.

ROOM HIRE IS AVAILABLE FOR SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS & MARTIAL ARTS OR FITNESS CLASSES

PRIVACY
Our classes are private, and for the benefit of our members, and spectators are not allowed at any time unless by prior arrangement. Please contact us if you would like to come to watch a class. Please note that we allow parents to supervise the junior classes.

AGE LIMITS
There are upper age limits, our self defence and exercise classes and training style can be tailored to the needs of older people.

For general fitness classes we will accept students from the age of 5 years, for our Jujutsu training we assess children on an individual basis.

CHILD PROTECTION POLICY
Our instructors have enhanced CRB background checks performed on them and we operate under a child protection policy which has been accepted by Carlisle City Council and Cumbria County Council.

BEHAVIOR STANDARDS
As instructors we check up on you, if we are informed (and agree in our opinion) that you have an undesirable background (criminal, troublemaker, pub watch, bully, etc etc...) you WILL NOT be allowed to practice martial arts with us or become a member of the gym.

We reserve the right to refuse membership and to exclude existing members without stating a reason.
