and is famous for its golf and the Christening of pop star Madonna's
son Rocco
Bowmore on the Island of Islay opened in March 1997. Islay is
situated off the west coast of Scotland and is famous for its
Distilleries and whisky.
Invergordon Dojo opened in the March of 2001. Invergordon is
famous for its deep water bay which played a major
part for the british fleet in the 2nd World War, but is now home
to many oil rigs which come in for repair and have had cruise
ships dock such as the QE2. Invergordon is approx 30 miles north
of Inverness.
Golspie opened in January 2003. Golspie is approximately 65 miles
from Inverness and the lovely Dunrobin castle is situated nearby.
Ardgay opened in September 2003. Ardgay is situated on the Sutherland/
Ross-shire border.
The NKJJS has an approved curriculum of at least eight Kyu (pupil)
grades and two black belt grades.
The techniques taught at the classes are purely for self defence
and we do not have sport applications. In class you can expect
warm ups, stretching etc, blocks, strikes, locks, throws, take
downs and many, many more techniques too numerous to list.
We are not a martial arts club that goes around with blinkers
on saying what we do is the best, we are always keen to learn
any new technique that will work in a given situation from any
martial arts style.
We have a syllabus for each of the Kyu grades and access to many
world class martial arts instructors thanks to our membership
of the Fighting Arts Organisation of Great Britain .
Juniors can start at the age of 7 years old.
15 years + puts you in the senior class, there is no upper age
limit if you are fit enough to train, you train.
For any other information concerning training or the Dojos do
not hesitate to get in touch with me, be it wanting regular training
or just a martial artist passing through. I am sure we will have
something to offer -
