Well, that's what our Jiu-jitsu/self-defense programs in Vancouver/Richmond, BC are all about. Check out our jiu-jitsu demo video.

At our dojo, we teach Can-Ryu Jiu-jitsu concepts that work around differences in size & strength to defend against strikes, body grabs, ground attacks & weapons, using a combination of strikes, kicks & blocks in our Women's Self-Defense classes, with the addition of throws/takedowns, improvised weapons, joint locks (adults only), etc, in our Jiu-jitsu classes. Can-ryu is a modern Canadian adaption of Japanese Jiu-jitsu that works for people of all sizes & abilities. We emphasize applying self-defense skills in accordance with Canadian laws.
