Taijutsu Kai is an established martial arts school offering self-defence and Sport Jujutsu (MMA) training across Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. Operating for over 45 years under Sensei Ross Iannoccaro, an 8th degree black belt, the club serves children from age 5 upwards and adults through age-appropriate, separately structured classes.
The school specialises in practical, reality-based self-defence techniques developed in close collaboration with local police forces, alongside competitive Sport Jujutsu training. Students can progress through multiple competition formats including grappling, submission wrestling, and grapple-and-strike (MMA).
What distinguishes Taijutsu Kai is their unwavering commitment to safety and professional standards. All instructors are DBS checked and meet exceptionally high competence levels, whilst the club maintains comprehensive public and personal injury insurance. Their traditional links to Japan through Soke Tanaka provide authentic martial arts heritage alongside contemporary training methods.
The organisation's philosophy—"We empower students to take control & stay safe"—underpins their approach. They've successfully taught thousands of students, including professional fighters and police officers, channelling children's energy into structured, positive environments whilst building genuine self-confidence and personal protection capabilities.
With 10 clubs across the region and a network of fully qualified, engaging teachers, Taijutsu Kai combines 45 years of proven expertise with modern self-defence training delivered by instructors many of whom are active law enforcement professionals.
