There are some fantastic martial arts clubs available in our area but please before selecting one verify the instructors credentials as many unscrupulous clubs bend the truth in order to make it look as if they are teaching arts that they have no licence to teach.
My credentials together with my Hakkoryu jujutsu licence and shihan teaching licence details can be found at Hakkoryu website on the organisation /teachers page. If anyones name is not on the list they are not authorised full stop. Please don’t be fooled by the” I used to “or “my teacher was”routine.
My official scrolls and certificates are available to view by serious interested parties also.
