Welcome to Jitsu Alberta. We offer instruction in the art of Shorinji Kan Jiu Jitsu. The University of Calgary Jiu Jitsu Club opened in January 2005 and is open to all members of the Calgary community aged 16 years and over.

The club is a registered member of Jitsu Canada, the governing body for Shorinji Kan Jiu Jitsu in Canada, and is affiliated with The Jitsu Foundation and the Alberta Jiu-Jitsu Association.
