Tsutsumi Hōzan Ryū
It's for you if…
This dojo suits people who want calm, structured, principle-based training. Beginners are welcome — most people arrive with no background at all. What matters more than experience is a willingness to progress slowly, pay attention to detail, and treat training partners with care.
It's not for you if…
This isn't a place for hard sparring, fast belt progression, or learning self-defence in six weeks. If you're looking for competition, intensity, or a quick transformation, there are dojos in Perth that do those things well — this isn't one of them.
What we teach
Jujutsu is the parent system of several modern Japanese martial arts — Judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and Aikido all developed from jujutsu traditions. Where those arts narrowed their focus, jujutsu retained the complete system. What's taught here is Goshin Jujutsu — modern self-defence-oriented Japanese jujutsu — in the form developed and taught by Jan de Jong who began way back in 1952. The complete curriculum covers joint locks, throws, strikes, ground work, and weapons awareness. Not a sport subset. Not a fitness format. A working system, calibrated to function under pressure. Tsutsumi Hozan Ryu at this dojo is not a competitive or sport martial art. There are no tournaments and no point-scoring. Training is partner-based and cooperative — students work together to develop genuine capability, with periodic resistance testing to verify techniques actually work. The goal is real capability, not winning matches.

What we're like
We're pretty relaxed with a good energy on the mat. Jujutsu requires concentation so you actually see more action than discussion.
