Ydachi Schools are a warm friendly almost family like atmosphere and we would like to think we make all welcome young and old alike. We invite anyone down to the club to come and see us and we hope you do.

The club was founded in the year 2000 at the beginning of the new millennium, by Sensei Paul Chadburn. Whose Martial arts training began in 1990, Sensei Chadburn was taught the syllabus by an instructor named Sensei Raymond Parker who throughout the 80,s and 90,s was a very well known and respected instructor in the Blackburn area, Sensei Chadburn took all his Ju-Jitsu gradings through the B.J.J.A.G.B and so when it came time for him to walk his own path he chose to stay with an organization that for him had got it right.

(A word from Sensei Chadburn) I have never really bothered too much with the politics of the art and without wanting to sound patronizing just enjoy my training as it gives me time to myself; in other words because it is primarily an individual art I can take it as far as I like. It also gives me a chance to improve my fitness levels and boost my self confidence, whilst meeting other people.
