# Taijutsu Kai - Worcester Jujutsu Club

Taijutsu Kai is an established martial arts school offering jujutsu training and self-defence instruction across Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. Operating for over 45 years, the club serves children from age 5 upwards and adults through dedicated, age-appropriate classes.

The school specialises in two distinct programmes: practical, reality-based self-defence training designed to empower students with genuine protective skills, and competitive Sport Jujutsu encompassing grappling, submission wrestling and MMA (Grapple & Strike). This dual approach means students can pursue martial arts either for personal safety or competitive sport ambitions.

What sets Taijutsu Kai apart is its exceptional pedigree and professional standards. Sensei Ross Iannoccaro, an 8th degree black belt, leads the organisation and teaches extensively across the UK and Europe. The school maintains traditional links with Japan through Soke Tanaka, lending authentic credibility to its instruction. All instructors are fully qualified, DBS checked and adhere to rigorous duty of care standards. The club carries comprehensive public and personal injury insurance.

The school's philosophy—'We empower students to take control & stay safe'—underpins everything they do. With police officers among their student and instructor base, and curriculum developed in close collaboration with law enforcement, Taijutsu Kai offers genuinely practical self-defence rather than theoretical techniques. Their track record speaks volumes: thousands of graduates including professional fighters and police officers, across ten clubs.
