Our Ju-Jitsu Instructors
Reading World Ju-Jitsu club has a rich history and a wealth of experience coming from its Ju-Jitsu Instructors.
We are very fortunate to have our founder, Sensei Phil Collins as our chief instructor who still personally teaches the classes every week.
Sensei Phill Collins has a unique understanding of the techniques we teach and has been awarded the position of Senior Technical Officer by the World Ju-Jitsu Federation, the World Ju-Jitsu Federation Australia and Ju-Jitsu Kobudo International Italy.
All of our Ju-Jitsu instructors have trained with the World Ju-Jitsu Federation here in the UK and have also completed NVQ Coaching qualifications.
Reading World Ju-Jitsu Club are affiliated to World Ju-Jitsu Federation Australia (WJJF Aus) and follow the original teachings of the late Soke Robert Clark who co-founded the World Ju-Jitsu Federation in 1976.
Both the World Ju-Jitsu Federation and Reading World Ju-Jitsu Club are highly respected worldwide, with Reading World Ju-Jitsu Club’s instructors regularly being invited to teach courses internationally with other top instructors from all over the world.
Through our continued invitations of our Ju-Jitsu Instructors to teach both Nationally and Internationally, we have formed special links with many clubs here in the UK as well as further afield like Mauritius, Italy, Slovakia and Australia.
