Kazoku Ju Jitsu has been training students in martial arts in High Wycombe and the surrounding area since 2001, although initially under a different name. Gaining a black belt in Ju Jitsu is no easy feat, and it is the difficulty in obtaining it which makes the achievement all the more rewarding. The first degree black belt (1st dan) represents proficiency in the basic techniques and principles of the art. As such, it represents the “end of the beginning”, not the end in itself.
