Programs & Class Schedule
Jujutsu is a martial art that specializes in the manipulation of an opponents joints, balance, and movement through locking, striking and redirection of energy. The Samurai employed these techniques against single, multiple and armed opponents. Descendant arts include Judo, sambo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu (via judo), shooto, aikido, hapkido, bartitsu, and German ju-jutsu.
Batto-do is the Japanese martial art of drawing and cutting in a single motion. Such a method was preferred by Samurai as opposed to long drawn out fencing matches. Students will learn basic postures, directional cuts, and re-sheathings. Kata are also taught as a fundamental method for understanding principles such as posture, footwork, and moving in unison with the sword.
