Ben-Jitsu: The hybrid’s hybrid: “Experience the power!” © ™

Tim offers a solid tachiwaza class on Monday night. The dominant theme for the next few weeks is uchimata.

Rob presides over Monday. He tends to focus on newazza (not exclusively). He also makes a great contribution in terms of commanding the middle ground—between standing and ground. The theme remains constant—inflict pain, defeat your enemy.

Ben’s domain is Friday. Since the mainstays of Judo—tachiwaza and newazza—have been taken by his peers, Ben seeks to offer enlightenment via a higher form of combat system that he has developed over the last 20 years. Ben has gone meta on Prof. Kano, who formulated Judo from the schools of JuJitsu and education philosophy. Ben-Jitsu takes Judo one step further into and beyond the realms of military philosophy, German existentialism, Krav Maga, Freestyle wrestling, 80s sitcoms, and every hybrid martial form known to man and beast. Ben, in short, has become New Zealand’s own Matt Furey (“Zen Master of Health and Fitness”). The entire idiom of Judo has been made anew. The good news is that you too can learn the secrets of this system that the military doesn't want you to know! Learn the Anaconda, the Kimura, Van Gogh’s Beard, and the Hindu Squat. Train on Friday and “feel the power” © ™ (All rights reserved, Ben-Jitsu fighting systems inc.).
