Junior Jitsu

Junior Jitsu is a welcoming and family-oriented martial arts club based in Newmillerdam, Wakefield, dedicated to introducing children aged 6 to 14 to the art of Jiu Jitsu in a fun and supportive environment. Led by Chief Instructor Sensei Ruth Walker, a 5th Dan black belt with over 30 years of experience, the club combines traditional techniques with modern safety standards. Classes focus on building self-confidence, improving physical coordination, and teaching practical self-defense skills to help children deal with bullies, all while fostering discipline and social skills.

What sets Junior Jitsu apart is its flexible, no-commitment policy. There are no membership fees, joining costs, or direct debits; parents simply pay for each session attended. This pay-as-you-go model ensures that families only pay for what they use. Additionally, all new starters receive a free first lesson and four weeks of free insurance coverage, making it risk-free to try the sport. Classes are held every Saturday morning from 09:30 to 11:00 at the Lakeside Methodist Centre.

Parents can rest easy knowing that all instructors are fully DBS cleared, first-aid trained, and fully insured. As a family-run club where instructors have their own children in the program, they understand the importance of safety and care. Junior Jitsu is a proud member of WYSOK (West Yorkshire Schools Of Karate & Oriental Arts) and affiliated with NAKMAS, providing students with opportunities to participate in regular tournaments, gradings, and cross-training in other martial arts styles. Whether your child is a complete beginner or looking to refine their skills, Junior Jitsu offers a safe, engaging, and professional environment to help them grow.
