ROSE COUNTIES JU-JITSU

About Us

The original Skipton club was formed in the early 1970s by Sensei Robert Ashworth and was affiliated to the British Ju-Jitsu Association. Over the years Sensei Ashworth opened clubs throughout Yorkshire and Lancashire eventually forming his own organisation RA Defence. He continued his own training throughout this time to reach the standard of 8th Dan.

On his retirement from instructing in 2005 the Skipton and Preston clubs continued under the leadership of Senseis Craig Barson (6th Dan) Mel Seward (6th Dan) and Phil Harrison (5th Dan) under the name of “Rose Counties Ju-Jitsu“.
The clubs offer training in a friendly atmosphere for all levels of ability and fitness from age 7 upwards.

Now affiliated to the Cobra Martial Arts Association our instructors are trained and qualified to the requirements of the Martial Arts Standards Agency, hold the appropriate First Aid qualifications and are checked through the Criminal Records Bureau - Enhanced Disclosure system. Rose Counties Ju-Jitsu operates an equal opportunities policy.
