Atemi Ryu means “School of Striking“. We present a unique self defence system that is a collective form of combat martial arts, called Atemi Jutsu, which means “Art of Striking“.

Atemi Jutsu is identified by its body movements, use of kicks, joint locks, throws, and hand strikes to the body’s pressure points, neutralising a situation in the shortest amount of time.

This unique discipline also incorporates a variety of weapons. This combat system is unique to this school and is virtually obsessed with philosophy, and strongly focuses on Strength, Knowledge, Action and Convergence. Atemi Jutsu is a continuously evolving reality-based self defence system with ancient roots and traditions.

Like many other fighting styles, this form of self defence system uses a ranking system based on belts. Each belt level is used to represent the skill level of the student. Lower-level belts can typically be earned in a few months, whereas higher-level belts can take years.

To summarize, your training is straight forward and practical. You will learn to adapt your knowledge automatically to use a combination of what you have learnt and what is the most effective in any situation you encounter.

Atemi Ryu’s self defence system has no regard for the safety and well-being of the attacker, therefore we have no sports applications at this school. We concentrate on teaching purely what works and has been proven to be effective.

No two Atemi Jutsu styles are the same. Atemi Ryu’s Self Defence System is a progressive multiform of martial science integrated into one effective system.

We strongly recommend that everyone, including women and children must be able to defend themselves in this day and age.
