THE Independent Jiu-Jitsu Association has relocated to Kendal over the summer.

Ran by Sensei Phil Newton (5th Dan Black Belt), who has more than 30 years experience in the martial arts, the classes, which used to be run at Dallam School, are tailored specifically to participants.

"Whether you are a beginner or have prior experience you will feel at home in our relaxed, friendly run classes," said Sensei Phil, who is also a qualified Conflict Resolution, Breakaway and Physical Intervention Instructor and has extensive knowledge of the law surrounding self-defence.

Lessons, of which the first is free, are run at the small gym at The Queen Katherine School every Monday and Friday from 6pm-7pm for Juniors and 6pm-8pm for Seniors.
