Why CVZ Gent?

Why follow lessons in self-defence?

Well, we live in a violent world and it's not the first time people are attacked by some stranger for no reason at all.  So it doesn't hurt to know some tricks to defend ourselves.

What you'll learn in  CVZ Gent is Jiu Jitsu (also written as Ju Jutsu, Ju Jitsu and Jujutsu), the mother of self-defence sports/arts like Judo, Karate and Aïkido.  

So in fact you'll be learning those three disciplines, but with a twist of Jiu Jitsu on top of it, which means that we'll not be approaching the disciplines as if we're going to use it as a sport, but that we'll be learning the technics to stop whoever is attacking us, so to really defend ourself.

Jiu Jitsu can be started at the age of 6 and can be practised as long as your health allowes you to.  With an age way above 50 Jimmy (1th dan member) proves you can follow this discipline for a very long time.

John Haeke - 7th dan Jiu Jitsu is our head trainer with more than 35 years of experience.
