Jiu-Jitsu Open House - Jan. 28th to Feb. 10th
Mon - Fri @ 7pm - 8pm & Sat @11am

Day one or one day? Martial Arts can conjure ideas of super human strength, agility, and acrobatics, but the reality is that Martial Arts are used to build discipline, commitment, and achievement into our daily lives. Getting "good" in the Martial Arts has more to do with your own personal character than your fitness level or strength. Building that character is the key to success and the goal of our program. Contact us to register for your free consultation and training session, and get started on that journey you have thought about for so long.

KUBATON - Ultimate Tool of Self-Defence
Sunday July 21st/ 2019
Thanks for coming out!!

To carry a weapon for the purpose of Self-Defence is Illegal. However, you may be justified in using "weapons of Opportunity" such as key chains, pens, hairbrush, or even a scrabble tile holder, against a larger, stronger, armed, or multiple opponent(s). Part of our R.E.A.L. (Resistance to Edged, Armed, & Lethal attacks) Fighting series, this is a three hour Self-Defence workshop that looks at how to maximise your chances of surviving deadly force assaults, by using techniques based on the traditional teachings of the "Yawara" and later "Kubaton" that you can adapt to many everyday objects, giving you an instant arsenal against surprise attacks and deadly force encounters. Book today, as seating is limited! 14+/ all welcome! Register on Facebook or contact us!

"StreetProof" at Deaf Centre Manitoba

We were humbled by the courage, humour, and openness of the group, and can't wait to meet again soon! Big thank you to the staff and support workers who helped make this possible!!

The few crests worn by Bissett Jiu-Jitsu are deeply important and symbolic of the ideals and philosophies of our Art. One of the allowable/ recognised crests open to students in Manitoba, is the Official Flag of Manitoba - The Red Ensign. In order to wear this patch, students must venture down to the Manitoba Legislative building, and partake in a tour (guided or self) and post about the experience.
