Clifton, Combat Ju-jitsu

Combat Ju-jitsu is run weekly by charismatic martial arts expert Lucci Del-Gaudio. The sessions, at Highbank Community Centre, are split into child and adult classes, with the youngest attendee I met, being four. The parents I spoke to commented on how much the sport had helped with their children’s self-confidence and self-awareness.

Lucci himself has been practising martial arts for 30 years. He is a three times black belt and Martial Arts Hall of Fame winner; three times British Martial Arts winner and one-time world Martial Arts Council winner.
