REACTION jiu Jitsu 
At reACTION we consider ourselves to be a modern progressive martial arts club. We are based on a traditional syllabus but our approach is the development of our members to optimise their skills. We believe that for this to occur successfully involves a two way communication rather than us just telling our students what to do.
reACTION
does not
practise in a full contact environment as it is our goal to enable any
person
to develop skills that may benefit them in a self defense situation, we
believe
that to expect ordinary people to undertake constant full contact
training is
completely unrealistic and that there are significant benefits to our
reduced
contact level of training.
We
offer
distinctly different learning opportunities to our childrens and adults
classes
but the club strives to maintain a united team dynamic across the board.
Unlike
some
martial arts all our students practise all their techniques using an
opponent,
this means our students are well used to adapting their techniques
based on the
person they are working with. We
believe
that this versatility is essential to our students should they ever
need to
apply their knowledge in a defense situation.
Jiu JitSU
Jiu Jitsu provides one of the most complete Martial Arts. It provides self-defense techniques for all reach distances (kicking, hand strikes, trapping, throwing and ground work) as well as defenses against defenses against attackers with weapons. At reACTION we have an evolving system, having borrowed techniques from other systems such as Karate, Boxing, Aikido, Muay Thai and Judo, as well Classical Jiu Jitsu which has been around for hundreds of years.
At
reACTION we offer a range of different classes to allow our members to
decide what best suits their martial arts needs:
If you want to earn grades and work towards a black belt - Come to ANY or ALL of our classes.
If your want to enter Jiu Jitsu tournaments and try to win trophies and medals - The Kumite, Sport & Clinching classes may be most suitable.
If
you don't want to dress up in a funny uniform and just want to learn
some simple basic core self defense techniques that apply directly to
real life situations - our regular self defense classes may be just what you are looking for.
your first session.....
At reACTION
your safety is our first priority.
Despite the combat based nature of Jiu Jitsu we want all
our students to
be safe and comfortable at all times.
Because of this your first few lessons are likely to
involve tumbling
drills to ensure you can safely fall when training with a partner.
Prior
to
beginning training we request that you inform us of any pre-existing
issues
which may influence your training experience and also further contact
details
(for emergency use)
Untill you
decide to join we do not require students to wear a gi, just normal
sportswear
will suffice – we do generally recommend long pants rather than shorts
for
personal comfort
Kids Class 
The main focus
of our kids class is entirely on sports based skills, students learn
punching,
kicking, throwing and wrestling to enable them to compete in a
tournament
safely. To help
maintain interest our
grades are broken down into achievable subcategories and a badge is
awarded for
passing each level.
As
a new class option in 2010 reACTION now offers a specialised self
defense to teach more direct self defense principles and provide more
variety to our students.
Our adults
class begins with an induction process to help explain the sporting
requirements of Jiu Jitsu and ensure you can train safely with other
club
members. Upon
completion of this process
you will move onto a more comprehensive self defense based system.
In
2010 reACTION has added to its class structure to allow students to
train specifically on their personal goals. Those who are
interested in tournament training can go to the specific class, as can
those who want to focus solely on self defense concepts.
