British Zen Judo  classes teach the art according to traditional principles and forms. Students learn fundamentals of safe falling, footwork, body management skills, escapes and avoidance, throwing technique, striking to vital targets, joint locking and joint twisting, hold-downs.

ukemi -  safe falling, the ability to fall safely is essential in combat, and very  useful in every day life.  Students are taught to use break-falls   when falling to their backs, and rolling falls when going head-first;   protection of the head is always emphasized.
kuzushi -  posture-breaking (unbalancing), this technique is essential when preparing to throw the opponent.
tai sabak -  body-management, it is taught that the first and most important part    of any technique is getting out of the way of the attack.  Learning  proper body-management is the most fundamental step in defending yourself                                              nage -  throwing, the fact that good technique can overcome size and strength is   perhaps nowhere more clearly demonstrated than in throwing. 
katame -  mat-work,  hold-downs and their variations are taught, as are escapes, transitions, and conserving   strength.              jime -  (choking), students are taught a variety of chokes .
kensetsu -  joint-reversing, involves applying joint locks in a manner that puts pressure in the opposite direction of that for which the joint was designed, in order to control an attacker.
gyaku -  joint-twisting, like joint-reversing except that the pressure applied on joints is in a twisting manner.

Black Belts Only atemi-  striking, involves developing powerful methods of striking, blocking, and   kicking,  in which the whole  body  is taught to generate force into one focused point of contact.
