Not a Game
Not a Sport

JIU-JITSU is a fundamental ‘life-skill’, a set of abilities that is necessary to help you survive in an increasingly hostile world. JIU-JITSU works consistently because it is based on simple applied physics, redirection of force, and focused pain compliance. To train with BISSETT JIU-JITSU is to prepare for serious, potentially dangerous real-life situations. In repeated life-and-death situations, JIU-JITSU has consistently saved the lives of those who have invested their time and effort in learning these critical skills. No other system of self-defense employs the full range of tactics that belong to BISSETT JIU-JITSU, including; Kicking, Punching, Striking, Entries, Close Quarter Manipulation, Joint Locks & Holds, Extensive Grappling & Groundwork, Weapons Defences, Multiple Attackers, and Elevated Force Capability all but ignored by most other combat or ‘Martial’ arts. When there is no referee, and "tapping" doesn't stop your attacker, you will be glad you chose to train with BISSETT JIU-JITSU

Real-World
Experience

Advanced Teaching
Methods

This system was developed through sheer dedication to one principle; Practical, effective self-defence. It works because it was born “On the mats” and “In the streets” by the professionals that make up our clientele, including members currently/ formerly of Canadian Armed Forces, Corrections Canada, Manitoba Justice: Corrections, Winnipeg Police Service, Retail Loss Prevention, various Bar/Nightclub Staff, including those experienced professionals that make up our instructional core.

Self-Defence
Focus

Self-defence is not about winning but surviving. That means learning the best methods, techniques, and strategies to help students avoid and escape violent, real life physical attack, and life threatening confrontation. Awareness, preparedness, and avoidance are more to self-defence and sadly ignored by most "Martial Arts" that tend to focus on the agility, stamina, and strength required to "beat" your opponent.

Attempting to meet force with force would become useless when face with a larger stronger opponent, our program shows students how to employ escape and evasion tactics to avoid confrontation, and Going With and Non-Resistance principles to overcome larger, stronger, or more skilled opponents. We then employ Stress inoculation Techniques and Initial Response Conditioning to ensure students the best chances of successfully managing conflict/ confrontation.

Self-Reliance
Goal

Most "Martial Arts" have lost touch with what "Martial" means, and the reality of real-world confrontation. They are simply not prepared, and do not prepare their students, for the grotesque reality and violent intent of a real world attacker. In that situation the only person that can save your life is you! Are you prepared to handle the level of responsibility that comes with Self-Reliance?

"Martial Arts have rules, referees, mats, and fair play. The streets (we live on) have shocking violence, extreme force, emotional trauma, and permanent physical damage. Or more simply put, Most "Martial Arts" are about trophies and belts whereas Self-Defence is about Evasion and Survival. The reality of confrontation is far too grim and the results far too serious for any type of sport application. "
