Reviews of Jujitsu School of Self-Defense

I am an instructor at the dojo and am constantly looking to improve my skill set. If youve ever wanted to learn about self defense or considered competition we welcome you to come. I am currently training with competition in mind focusing mainly on jiu-jitsu and kickboxing.

Rob Kelley is a great teacher, not just instructor. The dojo has a homey, welcoming, and friendly atmosphere, and real world application is the goal.

I have been going to the school for a while and I can tell you it is a blast. I have learned so much in the relaxed atmosphere. They have a full sized kick boxing ring as well as an MMA Cage. Sensei Kelley is awesome, caring, and knowledgeable. He has helped me work around some of the injuries I have had to gain the most out of my experience. I would highly recommend this school to anyone!

I have never before attended a self-defense class and felt very comfortable with the pace the instructor set for me. The dojo was well equipped. Really liked the instructor, genuine and knowledgeable about martial arts. Would recommend this dojo to anyone interested learning self-defense.

Great School, and very professional. With only two classes I've learned so much, and look forward to class each time. I definitely recommend this school!

JD of SD is a great martial arts school. Teachers use real world application approach to teaching jujitsu and judo. Recommend this this school to anyone who is looking for real self defense training, not just some flashy moves to earn "points" in a competition.

The teachers provide a safe environment to learn how to truly deal with dangerous situations. This is full contact. You will not only train your body, but also train your mind on how to keep calm when it matters.

School offers competition training, self defense, and kickbox training.

This is not a belt factory! Each person will EARN their belt. If you are just looking for a belt you are better off going somewhere else.

Great expierence, will not be looking for any other schools anytime soon. Owner and assistants are played back and care about their students. They focus on what matters, not bowing in and push-ups.

It's a good place to train. You learn a lot each class and it makes you want to go back for more. The instructors are great at working one on one with you and correcting mistakes.

This school rocks! The building has a full size boxing ring and a whole floor of judo mats. The instructors are knowledgeable and very caring. Mr Kelley is warm hearted and absolutely fun. I can't imagine going anywhere else where I would find this well rounded of an experience. I love this place!

We have just stared to attend master robs jujitsu school of self defense and Having two younger boys this class is ideal because he explains why and how the self defense moves work and it is easy for younger people to retain.

Master Kelley absolutely knows what he is talking about and teaches with great passion for the art! He runs a fantastic dojo! He is very knowledgeable, patient and definitely challenges you in a positive to help you succeed and build the confidence he knows lies inside of you! I can't wait till the next class. My two daughters and I are taking it together and are learning while having fun doing it. His staff along with himself are so great with instructing my girls to their abilities and more so they get to enjoy the art of Jujitsu! They think it's the coolest thing that they can lift and throw someone almost twice their weight over their shoulder within the first class. I recommend anyone who has been on the fence to learn to come here to do it!

It is a very well set up school with a lot of one on one training and they make it very easy to learn. The classes are worth the small fee and you always walk away getting your moneys worth. If you want to learn self defense this is the school to go to.

In this dojo you get a lot of one one training in any area you would like examples are self defense kickboxing etc..... Also the is no pressure whatsoever a very nice environment to learn and practice. Highly recommendable. Will be returning till black belt

I have two young daughters and they both love there first time there they had lots of fun and got to work with a nice young lady who took time with them we will be back

My experience at this school was fantastic. Rob was extremely nice and made sure i felt comfortable with everything he was teaching me to do. He was also very positive about my progress even though i giggled through the majority of the lesson. He, also, gave a tour of the school and the people involved with it before we began any sort of lesson. I would recommend the Jujitsu School of Self-Defense to anyone who is interested in learning to protect themselves.

Like all schools size doesn't matter. This is a small dojo but it has everything you need for training and more one on one. You will never be left wondering what to do. Very thorough instructions and can adjust the techniques for any disabilities.

Great place

Great place

Great place

it is a good place to trainer arts martiales,the instructors know what to doing.

I really enjoy the school and the people who attend it. Recently a new dojo has been built and its bigger and badder than ever! After you go once you'll soon fine your self going back for more and the people there soon become like a second family to you.

Mr. Kelley is an excellent instructor and conducts himself with a high degree of integrity and professionalism. I highly recommend this school!

I used to go to this school, but quit because you never knew if you were going to get what you paid for that evening. Don't get me wrong, when the class was good, it was great! But over time it became a waste of money. The "dojo" was in the owners tiny garage. Granite this was a few years ago when I went to this school, so things mite have changed.

I just went with my roommate from college who has been going for a few years to watch her. I have my black belt in Tae Kwon Do so coming here was so different for me. I didn't realize how different Jiu Jitsu was from Tae Kwon Do, but I can say that from the short time I was there, Jiu Jitsu is way better. I ended up learning a ton of cool things. Master Kelley was super nice and welcoming. Definitely considering going back.

Mr. Kelley has exhibited professionalism and compassion toward students and martial arts instruction, and I would recommend this dojo.

I have known Master Kelley for a long time. I can say, without doubt, that he is simply the best at what he does. His building is amazing, his instructors are professional, and his prices are the lowest I have seen at any other martial art school. I highly recommend his school…

Great place to learn, meet new people! Great instructors at this dojo.

I've been attending class since December of 2012 & I love it. It's an awesome way to really figure out who you are, while learning to protect yourself at the same time. The owner AND the instructors really know what they're doing and each have their own way of explaining/ demonstrating the techniques & their purposes. Not to be cheesy but, it's changed my life quite a lot and despite the fact that I live an hour away, I still will attend class as often as possible.

If I want a superb martial arts experience I go to The Jujitsu School Of Self Defense. The instructors are experienced, knowledgeable and (most importantly) approachable. Master Kelly exemplifies the title "Master." This Dojo is the perfect marriage of martial arts sport and self defense training. Every session challenges me to become a better fighter, as well as teaches me the tradition and skills to understand why I train the way that I do. As someone that has had experience in law enforcement, I wish that I would have trained the way that I do now! I am very excited for my progression; I look forward to continuing my path with JSSD. :D

I have worked with Mr. Kelley within the dojo and outside the dojo. I have to say he is by far the most caring and thoughtful person I know. Not only is he knowledgeable about the Jujitsu system he is teaching, but he is also knowledgeable about conflicts that take place in ones personal life and how these can effect ones training and mind set. He is simply the best!!!

Top notch instructors and facility! By far this is the best dojo in Wayne county! Great knowledgeable instructors, A + facility, and a wonderful, friendly student body makes for a great learning environment.

Plenty of new and interesting things to learn, great place to make new friends and learn about defending yourself. Great place for kids and women interested in learning the skill as well!

Having read the post from j doe dated in aug, they clearly have no idea about the school. Seems to me it is a personal issue... Maybe a rival school or ex.... In regards to the instructors their ages are 18, 19, 27, 39, 42, 43, and 60. They have to be a certain belt level and are very knowing. In regards to master kelley, he is very fit. Just last class he kickboxed 13 rounds non stop with three separate students then ground grappled with 2 other students for 45 mins. then the remark about his personality. I can speak as a single mother of two children that sensei kelley shows a real concern for their safety in the dojo and their life outside the dojo. I would, and have recommended him to others and will continue to do so. J doe has clearly no history with this school! If what they said was true.... Why would they be a student for 6 to 1 year if it was that bad. Jujitsu school of self defense is by far the best martial arts school I've attended.

Been studying here for a long time and it is fantastic. We are a family and we all get along great. The instructors are great teachers and the fighting style could not be better suited to how I and a lot of other people learn.

I have known Master Kelly for over 20 years. He is a dedicated, committed Martial Artist who is passionate about his art. From his youth, he dedicated himself to learning his art to perfection. He has now committed himself to passing on his knowledge, experience, and passion to his students. Master Kelly's expertise in self-defense is demonstrated in his classes as he prepares his students to face a sometimes dangerous world.

Martial Arts is one of the best methods for helping young and old alike develop a more disciplined life that will overflow into their daily routines. The Arts helps people become better students, employees, and parents. Master Kelly is passionate about his discipline and will encourage the same in his students.

I recommend Master Kelly and the Jujitsu School of Self-Defense without hesitation. It will not take more than one class for both parent and student to realize that they have made a great choice.

It is the great place to study Martial Arts. The environment is relaxed, fun and easy to learn in. The master is very knowledgeable.

Most of the so called instructors look 15. Owner is out of shape and personally creepy.

nice facility, quality instruction and a family oriented atmosphere.
