MERSEY BUDO JU JITSU ACADEMY

At the Mersey Budo Ju Jitsu Academy in Liverpool, Sensei Amos Sedgewick makes martial arts training an adventure. With a 9th Dan black belt and years of experience under his belt, Amos shares his mastery in traditional Japanese Ju Jitsu, the Samurai's combat system. It's not just about self-defence—it's about getting fit, strong, and confident while having a blast.

Students dive into a variety of techniques from blocks and punches to throws and groundwork, even wielding weapons. And for those craving variety, the Liverpool Aikido Club shares the same dojo. Aikido, focusing on redirecting an opponent's energy, brings in a unique twist to training with its locking and throwing moves.

Training isn't just tough—it's top-notch, safe, and friendly. Whether you're a seasoned martial artist or stepping onto the mat for the first time, you'll find support and camaraderie here.

Beyond regular training, there's also a yearly Emergency First Aid course available for members, friends, and family, making sure everyone's prepared for anything. Plus, if you’re looking to up your game, the British Budo Federation hosts master classes and competitions in various martial arts disciplines throughout the year.

Classes run on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:30 PM to 9 PM at the Cardinal Heenan Lifestyles Fitness Centre on Honeysgreen Lane, West Derby. They've got free parking with CCTV, so your gear—and car—are always secure.
