EUROKWAI
Martial Arts Est. 1976
Eurokwai Karate-Jutsu (EKJ) is a unique system of personal protection, fitness training and character development. Created over a period of 40 years, EKJ is an amalgamation of numerous exercises and techniques which, when practised reguarly, create confidence, fitness and an ability to deal with physical confrontation.
Karate-Jutsu technqiues are taken from several ancient Japanese and Chinese Martial Arts including - Judo, Jujitsu, Karate, Tai Chi, Kung Fu, Aikido.
The tehniques practised during Eurokwai’s Karate-Jutsu lessons are beneficial to students as:-
- they are safe to practise;
- rely on natural movements of the body, arm and legs;
- students are not expected to engage in any unreasonable
or ‘dangerous’ activity.
For these reasons EKJ is ideally suited for adults of all ages - older students particulary benefitting from the special Chi (energy) exercises during training.

The Eurokwai Karate-Jutsu system is divided into 8 grades (belts) as follows:- Orange, Red, Yellow, Green, Purple, Brown and Black. All gradings up to and including 1st Kyu (brown belt) are conducted in-house. Promotion within the Black Belt systems is carried out by Independent Approved Examiners. All members receive licence/record books and full certification.
INFORMATION : Self-Defence and the Law
All Practitioners of Martial Arts should be aware that the use of force in a self-defence situation can legally only be proportional to the seriousness of any attack. Excessive use of force, such as punches, kicks, arm-locks, throws or strangles, in circumstances where you injure someone who is attacking you could result in criminal charges being brought against you.
It is simple - current legislation allows the "minimum use of force" only to defend oneself, so think carefully before you deliver your punch or kick. All Martial Arts used in self-defence should begin with either a block or evasion before using an offensive technique.
The Eurokwai points of survival:-
1. Always be alert.
2. Remain physically relaxed.
3. Avoid confrontation or unstable situations.
4. If accosted or challenged, avoid and walk away if possible.
5. If unable to avoid, never take up a fighting stance, this is an invitation and could provoke an attack.
6. Remain quiet, relaxed and static. Do not move towards the enemy, let him make the first move.
7. If attacked, always block or evade if possible: Remember, an accurate block can sometimes extinguish an attack from the start.
8. If several attackers, then isolate the apparent ringleader and try to deal with him first.
9. If necessary to activate a counter technique, always use a push or slap first instead of a punch.
10. Never engage in verbal arguments, and never threaten anyone: To do so could be used against you at a later date in Court.
