Based in Lowestoft, Suffolk, East Anglian Bushido Ju-Jitsu is a martial arts club teaching Japanese Ju Jitsu to adults and juniors. It has been training students since the early 1990s and meets two nights a week. The approach is supportive rather than drill-sergeant: sessions build gradually from each person's current fitness and ability, and the mat usually has a roughly even mix of men and women.
