Skipton Ju-Jitsu Club

Get Fit & Keep Fit — Build Self Confidence & Learn to Defend Yourself with JuJitsu. Our clubs offer training at all levels in a friendly atmosphere for juniors & seniors including family training on Saturday mornings. The original Skipton JuJitsu club was formed in the early 1970s by Sensei Robert Ashworth and was affiliated to the British JuJitsu Association. Over the years Sensei Ashworth opened jujitsu Clubs throughout Yorkshire and Lancashire eventually forming his own organisation RA Defence. He continued his own training throughout this time to reach the standard of 8th Dan. On his retirement from instructing in 2005 the Skipton and Preston JuJitsu Clubs continued under the leadership of Senseis Craig Barson (6th Dan) Mel Seward (6th Dan) and Phil Harrison (5th Dan) under the name of Rose Counties JuJitsu.
