The classes themselves start with a period of limbering up exercises followed by the art of break falling or Ukemi. The art of Ukemi is unique to Judo and is the most important aspect of training – the ability to fall correctly when being thrown by someone else in the class or in a real life situation.

A soon as break falls are performed safely, students are introduced to throwing techniques, holds and grappling on the ground. In addition, depending on the age of the student, strangles and arm locks are introduced. As the student progresses through the grading system, the student can reach an extremely high standard of physical and mental fitness. Excess weight will have disappeared, and he/she will have gained prolonged stamina and the ability to function under pressure for long periods. Judo also develops and enhances co-ordination, balance, speed and reflexes.

Judo is for all ages and means literally “Gentle Way” Skill in self defence is naturally developed as the student develops.

The Bujinkan incorporates the only three Ninjitsu styles in the world, and this is recognised by the Japanese Government. These styles are: Togakure, Ryu, Kumogakure and Gyoshin Ryu. It is the desire of the Bujinkan Hobart Dojo to present to the public the true essence of Ninjutsu and to repair the damage done by the gross stereotypical image shown in most movies and perpetuated by those bogus “Ninja Schools” who exploit the image.

Aikido training usually begins with a series of exercises which prepare your body for training. These are basically for Ki development, establishing a strong body centre (Hara), breathing (Kokyu) and movement. Aikido training usually requires the learning of a set of movements taught in the traditional Japanese way of repetition. We always work with a partner, giving and receiving, creating harmony in the movement. In harmony there is no conflict and no competition.

Aikido is aimed at self-improvement. Aikido is ideal for women, children and men alike. Aikido is a martial art and can therefore be used as self-

defence.
