Shanghai Ju-Jutsu Club

Tom — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 05:08:28 +0000

The Shanghai Ju-Jutsu Club offers mixed martial arts based on the Ju- Jutsu system. With the training located in Puxi (near Nanjing Road), the club provides an open setting for participants to learn and develop their skills.

A mixed martial art in its true sense, Ju-Jutsu combines various styles including Judo and BJJ, Karate and Aikido, as well as Arnis, WT, and Kickboxing. Trained widely throughout Europe, Ju-Jutsu allows practitioners to use the most effective counter to an attack. It uses the strength of the attacker against him, to counter his move.

By learning a combination of aspects including, but not limited to kicking and boxing, and overthrowing an aggressor, Ju-Jutsuka become good all-round fighters. This open and synthesizing approach makes it a novelty in China’s martial arts landscape.

All lessons are tailored to the level of the attendees, teaching them to deal with various situations, from stand to ground fi ghting and sparring. Apart from the physical aspects, Ju-Jutsu is practised and trained in an atmosphere of mutual respect and cooperation.

Thanks to the inclusive approach, Ju-Jutsu offers people with previous martial arts training an easy start. They will be able to integrate and extend their knowledge. Students with no experience in this field will learn all the necessary basics as we go along.

Fitness in Shanghai: A Clash of Cultures

Tom — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 02:51:20 +0000

Fitness in Shanghai is undoubtedly growing in prominence. But despite the phenomenon of boutique gyms and specialized personal trainers popping up all over town, Fitness still remains a lifestyle choice for expats, and a status symbol for Shanghainese. Expat owned and run Fitness Centers in Shanghai demand a premium if only because they value things like sanitary conditions and professional instruction, things taken for granted in the west. On the other hand, Chinese run gyms tend to offer lower membership fees while promising your fair share of spitters, coughers, and smokers who express themselves without concern of those around them. Treadmill users abuse the privilege of private television and raise volume levels to unnecessarily loud levels, forcing those on other treadmills to do the same, and forcing the small handful of digilent trainees to listen to various versions of the monkey king or listen to live music performances from amateurs. For budget conscious people who can handle a bit of local culture, like people in the dressing rooms hair drying their nether regions with the hair dryers and worst case scenario, defecating in the showers, than a Chinese fun gym can be an experience of an evolving china. For those on the other hand who want their gym experiences to be a tad more sanitary and less distracting during workouts, than paying that extra bit for an expat run fitness center my be your best bet.

In Shanghai, foreign owned fitness centers tend to attract expats and educated or international chinese. These gyms tend to be concept oriented, rather than a open free for all. Some fitness centers focus on yoga and pilates, providing top notch training equipment and highly qualified teachers. Other gyms focus on what seems like an exclusive and nearly private training experience so clients receive more personal attention in a comfortable environment. And then you have a gradually growing expat martial arts community. Chinese are finding these styles and classes refreshing compared to their wide variety of Gong Fu, which can be tedious and seeminly impractical for those wishing to learn practical fighting skills quickly. And I think most expats and Chinese alike prefer the non aggressive and supportive teaching manner of expats, rather than the ‘you do wrong, I have hold stick’ old school attitude of many Gong Fu teachers. So whatever your flavor, there is no shortage of Fitness options in Shanghai. Finding your ideal location and classes however will take some experimenting.
