British Karate and British Ju Jutsu
(Web Site)
The Dictionary of Martial Arts [Louis Frederic - The Athlone Press] defines the term "BU-JUTSU - warrior techniques or techniques of combat used by the warriors of ancient Japan, whose aim was to achieve maximum effectiveness in warfare"
A couldn't find a clearer definition of Ronnie Colwell's approach to the martial systems. As he himself puts it "the warrior is there to do a job, there is no time or room for the superfluous on the battlefield. Some of the modern gymnastics that gets added to the fighting systems these days would get you killed when it came time to really be tested."
 As a recognised 9th Dan in the arts of Karate-do and JyuJutsu, Ronnie has spent a lifetime pursuing knowledge on fighting systems throughout the world. Ronnie's CV is impressive including British military service, professional bodyguard, martial arts instructor to European and Middle Eastern royalty and special forces instruction.
As a legendary figure in British Martial Arts. He is one of the founding fathers of British Karate and British Ju Jutsu. Indeed he held the post of first chief instructor to the British Ju Justsu Association, the governing body for Ju Jutsu in the UK.
