Edinburgh Jitsu runs a series of introductory sessions three or four times a year. If you want to try out training you should come to one these sessions. Once you've attended an introductory session you can come to as few or as many sessions as you like.
Introductory sessions are really good fun and very popular. The next series of introductory sessions are on:
St Stephens Centre
- Wednesday 4th January 2012
- Friday 6th January 2012
- Monday 9th January 2012
- Wednesday 11th January 2012
- Friday 13th January 2012
- Monday 16th January 2012
Sessions run from 7pm till 9pm every Monday and Wednesday and Friday.
George Watson's College
- Tuesday 10th January 2012
- Thursday 12th January 2012
- Tuesday 17th January 2012
- Thursday 19th January 2012
Sessions run from 6:45pm till 8:45pm every Tuesday and Thursday.
It's best to turn up a few minutes early for your first session to give you time to fill in a health questionnaire. Alternatively you can download the form here and fill it in before you come.
There is no need to book an introductory session, please feel free to just turn up. You should wear whatever you'd normally wear to the gym, anything loose and comfortable. We don't wear shoes, socks, or any jewellery on the mat.
If you have just missed a beginner period it may be worth emailing the appropriate club to see whether they have any spaces yet. Although rare, we do sometimes accept students outwith beginner sessions.
From September 2010, Edinburgh Jitsu has also offered classes for young people aged 11-18 years. For more information on Edinburgh Jitsu Youth, please look look here.
St Stephens Centre
We have an excellent permanent dojo in the heart of Edinburgh in the St Stephen's Centre at the bottom of Howe Street (map).
You can see this dojo from the junction of George Street and Frederick Street.
George Watson's College
We also run classes at the Galleon at George Watson's College on Colinton Road (map). With dedicated parking this is a convenient and accessible dojo, especially for those living in the south of the city. Click

Edinburgh Jitsu keeps costs to an absolute minimum. We want everyone to be able to train.
Our current prices are £6 for a two-hour session.
Joining costs £35 for 6 months or £60 for a year and this is usually done before your third session.
Once you join we have a wide range of discount schemes which can save you up to 35% on the price of a session.
