Small Circle Jujitsu · Fleet, Hampshire

Leverage,
not strength.

A Japanese martial art of precision, control and flow - not size or aggression. Taught in Fleet, in a direct line from the founder. Beginners always welcome.

The art

The art of control.

Where most martial arts meet force with force, Small Circle does the opposite - tight, efficient, circular motion that turns leverage into control. Less effort, more effect. An art you can still be improving at in your seventies.

The culture

助

Kokua

To help and support one another. Progress here is shared - nobody's left behind on the mat.

家

Ohana

Family. You're not buying a gym membership; you're joining a small community that trains hard and looks after its own.

Lineage

A direct line to the source.

Small Circle Jujitsu has one founder. His son carries it forward. Our instructor trains directly under that son. Three people, no gaps.
