Welcome to the Yoshitsune Jujutsu Kai
This is a traditional Japanese Martial Arts School of Jujutsu and Iaido for adults. Training in the Japanese Martial Arts is not a sport and it has no tournaments or competitions.

We offer classes in Japanese Jujutsu, an effective martial arts that includes physical conditioning, evasive movements, striking, throwing and immobilizations using joint locks and other methods of restraint.  You will practice with a training partner and you will help each other learn and improve, cultivating a supportive environment.

Wooden weapons training using the Hanbo (3 foot stick), Cane, Nitan Bo (short stick) and Yawara (palm stick) are also taught as part of the Jujutsu curriculum. 

We also offer classes in Japanese Iaido, a method of wielding the sword, one of the Japanese Martial Arts which has been practiced from ancient times until present day.  The practice of Iaido requires a calm spirit, extreme concentration and skill.  Every motion, such as the movements of the arms or legs and body, must be perfectly coordinated.

Students may choose to take either Jujutsu, Iaido or both.  Once a member of the dojo, each student decides the number of days to train and in one or both arts.

Consistent practice in the Japanese Martial Arts improves your physical conditioning, balance, flexibility and your mental state.  Your self-confidence, concentration, and alertness will improve and you will build up positive energy and become fitter and calmer.

If you think that you may be interested in Jujutsu or Iaido, don’t hesitate, just call me for a quick conversation and I’ll answer your questions.  Perhaps we’ll schedule a school visit.  I would love to speak with you and have the opportunity to introduce myself and answers your questions.  

We train adults only and we require no prior martial arts experience.   Check out the testimonials page to see what others are saying about us.
