Chowa Ryu Jujitsu translates into Harmony Style Jujitsu. The style strives to achieve a balance between traditional martial arts and application to meet the challenges of modern self-defence situations.

All students and instructors are required to have an excellent understanding of training in street situations, which is achieved through a mixture of training in street clothes and full martial art uniform. The first year of training focuses on ensuring that the student develops practical skills and an appreciation of the dangers that may be encountered in street situations.

The style is a complete self defence system in that it addresses all situations - with and without weapons. The curriculum has been approved by the Australian Jujitsu Federation.

Other Styles Offered

Whilst the main style of martial arts offered is Chowa Ryu Jujitsu, the Dave Franklin Martial Arts Academy also offers training in Jujitsu, Karate and Judo.

Students are encouraged to find a style that best meets their martial art interests and their physical attributes – not everyone can kick well and therefore the Judo based Jujitsu would be better suited than Karate and Chowa Ryu Jujitsu.

Whatever your interest in martial arts there is a high likelihood of finding what you want, particularly if your interest is in traditional Japanese martial arts such as Jujitsu, Karate and Judo.
