We are a family run school where we practice and offer traditional & modern martial disciplines which include:
Japanese KoKoDo Ju Jutsu: A traditional Japanese martial art that emphasizes stand up applications of escapes, controls, throwing and takedowns, progressing to submission locks, holds and pins commonly seen in in control tactics and techniques. It is a gentle practice done with a partner where students focus on precision of the underlying principles of neutralization and subtle off balancing. Resistance is added slowing and is a great art for Budo enthusiasts wishing to practice all life long.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ): A martial art and combat sport that focuses on ground fighting or ne waza, floor drills, submission holds, and joint locks via the the practice application with in live rolls.
Goshin-Jutsu Training: Training in Goshin Jutsu often involves practicing techniques in the context of attack scenarios, where students learn to defend against different types of attacks and situations, including LEO training, weapons, tactical considerations and more.
Shiatsu Therapy: A form of Japanese bodywork that uses pressure points and manipulative techniques to promote relaxation, balance, and well-being.
Yoga Therapy: A holistic approach to yoga that focuses on using postures, breathing techniques, and meditation to promote physical, mental, and emotional healing.
