Self Protection
The University of Sunderland Self-Protection Group (USSPG)
Teaches simple and easy-to-learn self-defence system alongside a more in-depth Combat Ju-Jitsu syllabus which is graded from white to black belt. The class is informal and friendly, with no uniform or clothing requirements, no special titles for instructors and the like.
The class is extremely inexpensive. We do not charge for gradings, and do not force anyone to do anything they are uncomfortable with, USSPG welcomes new members at any time, and is flexible enough to adapt to their specific needs. Whether you want to learn some simple self-defence, get fit or to earn a black belt in Jui-Jitsu, we can accomdate you. We can also advise on non-physical self-protection measures such as conflict management and workplace safety.
Our instructors are accredited by the Self Defence Federation and have a broad range of experience including professional self-defence teaching. Our senior coach holds back belts in both Combat Jui-Jitsu and Self Defence, and is a highly-ranked self-defence instructor with 20 years of teaching experience. He is also the author of a widely-acclaimed self-defence book. Our other instructors (male and female) hold back belts and/or independent self-defence instructorships.
The Self-Protection Group also runs social events, trips and visits throughout the year and sometimes out of term time for those who are aournd in the holidays. We have a website and forum at: http://www.martinjhougherty.co.uk/
