At its heart is the ability to defend yourself through technique, movement and the skilful use of your own strength.
The training brings together different areas of the martial art. These include throws, levers and holds, escapes, controlled punching and kicking techniques as well as defending against various attacks. At Senshu the content is taught safely, appropriately for each age and in line with each student’s level.

Age-appropriate self-defence
Preparing for belt examinations
Break-falling is an important foundation. Children and teenagers learn to fall under control, roll safely and then get back on their feet ready to act.
In partner exercises they develop a feeling for distance, balance and the appropriate use of their strength. Training partners look out for each other and share responsibility for safe training.
Attitude
Technique rather than physical superiority
In Jiu-Jitsu it is not about overpowering another person with as much force as possible. What counts is technique, timing, movement and body control.
This helps children and teenagers learn to respond appropriately to different situations. They experience that acting with confidence does not have to involve aggression.
Progress
Visible progress through the belt system
The belt system gives students clear, achievable goals. For each examination they learn new techniques and develop sequences they already know.
Personal progress becomes visible without children constantly having to compare themselves with each other. Everyone develops at their own pace.
Who it's for
Jiu-Jitsu for children and teens
Children benefit from clear routines, firm rules and varied movement training. They learn to sense their bodies more consciously, recognise boundaries and hold their own respectfully in partner exercises.
Reserved children get the chance to build trust in their own abilities step by step. Children with plenty of energy learn to use their strength in a controlled, responsible way.
Teenagers are challenged physically and technically and increasingly work on realistic self-defence situations. At the same time the training builds concentration, a sense of responsibility and a confident presence.
