ABOUT US

At Seaham Kempo Ju-Jitsu we believe that the greatest struggle is to be better today than we were yesterday. That's why our informal motto is "repetition is the mother of perfection". Our philosophy is to learn and improve together, because the only difference between the master and the student is that the master has failed and picked themselves back up more times than the student has tried.

We are affiliated to the Shin Ga Do Martial Arts Association which was founded co-founded by Soke Mark Kemp (10th Dan). The current President of Shin Ga Do is Hanshi Robert Rammage (8th Dan) who began his term as President of the association in May 2022.

The head instructor at Seaham Kempo Ju-Jitsu is Shihan Paul Thompson (6th Dan) who has over 25 years of experience in the art of Kempo Ju-Jitsu.

Learning the art of Kempo Ju-Jitsu will help you to develop solid values and a strong character. It is our aim to inspire you to be your very best. Join us and begin developing your future self today.

CODE OF CONDUCT

1. Arrive in time for class where possible. Punctuality is an important part of our practice and for you to gain the most value for money by maximising the amount of time you spend training.
2. Please remove your shoes before stepping onto the mat, and place them at the side of the dojo.
3. Remove all jewelry and all accessories prior to class. They pose a potential danger to you and to other participants. We do not want you to injure yourself or anybody else.
4. Be respectful to your teachers and other Ju-Jitsuka at the Club.

5. Obey all instructions from grades senior to you. This is for your own safety and the safety of others in the class. It also shows respect to the senior grade for the time and effort they have sacrificed to obtain the knowledge and understanding that they have.

6. Once class is over, please place all equipment neatly back in their proper place. The dojo should be clean and tidy at all times.

7. Be humble, respectful, and teachable at all times.
