About
Reality based Self Defence / Martial Arts. Adults Class for Men and Women Age 15+ & KIDZ Class Age 7-14
Total Body Defence Jujitsu is a Welsh derived system of Self Defence and strives to provide professional Self Defence tuition, together with fitness and well being principles to all levels and ages of student, irrespective of race, age, gender and ability in order to improve not only the individuals ability to defend themselves but to improve their quality of life.
We provide particularly high standards of instruction and students can be assurred of a safe, relaxed and informal environment.
Derived mainly from Goshinkwai Yawara (ancient fighting) principles, but with added interpretation. The style is simply a method of ‘self defence' involving Atemi (Striking), kicks, grappling and footwork amongst others, with little of the locks and throws seen in many traditional arts. The system compliments and readily adapts into all forms of Martial art and self defence systems. Our base is South Wales, with classes also being run monthly in London and seminars in Europe.

TOTAL Body Defence
Trained with these guys for approx 3 years. I started with Sensei nathan Hughes then to Risca HQ with Head instructor Alun Williams and that's where I met Sensei Mark Broom. We hit it off immediately as Sensei Broom is such a welcoming, infectious character....The club he runs offers an effective, no nonsense style of self defence and caters for everyone; a complete novice to an experienced black belt. From the moment I walked into NH's class to this day...The guys and girls from TBD have made me one of their own and I still regard my time there fondly.

TBD is fantastic!
Total Body Defence is the perfect place to go! For years I've wanted to learn martial arts, and eventually bothered to look for a place to learn it. TBD was the first place i found and it looked promising. I went down to have a look at one of the sessions and after half an hour i was so exited to jump in and try it myself. The next week i came to the session and i felt very welcomed. After acouple of months i have felt i have learnt so much and look forward to every session. The instructor Mark Broom is fantastic, he really knows what he is doing and is a great instructor. Id recomend TBD to anyone!

High Quality Tuition and value for money
After training in Judo and Karate in my youth, aged 42 and somewhat unfit and overweight, I was apprehensive of joining a Self Defence class, but the instructor, Mark Broom made me feel extremely welcome from the moment I walked in. Mark was very professional, polite and patient with me. He is obviously very well versed in Self Defence applications himself, but the other senior students on hand to offer me help and guideance were also well accomplished and friendly. There is always a great atmosphere in the training hall and Mark manages a mix of hard training with fun, which for me takes away some of the formal stigma I have heard about in some traditional Martial Arts clubs. I formerly joined the club after only 3 sessions and now look forward to each class. Its excellent value also as there are another seven clubs to train from incuded free in the monthly fee, which suits me as I work away quite often so can catch up by visiting other venues when home.
