Beginner's Classes

"First line of standing defense from a distance."

The first level of training is designed to take a white belt beginner (Rokyu) up to 1st Degree Green Belt (Gokyu).

Training includes: break falling, body stances, pivoting, off balancing and other throwing basics, grip escapes, finger locks, wrist locks, soft knife blocks combined with low kick and hand strike defenses, and more if time allows. The length of time for the average person to achieve Green Belt is 15-20 hours of training. (Time varies with individuals.)

2nd Degree Green Belt: "Second line of standing defense from a closing distance".

Brown Belt: "Starts the transition from standing to ground combat."
 
Student Black Belt: "The most aggressive, destructive, and all encompassing board."
 
Nihan (truly Japanese) jujutsu systems spent a lot of time perfecting techniques that modern people would have little use for. For example, how to defend from various attacks while sitting in the traditional Japanese fashion on one's heels (seiza). On the other hand firearms did not exist in Samurai days so it could be said that all firearm defenses are modern. So we do compliment our traditional techniques with gendai (modern) techniques whenever practical.
 
Although traditional jujitsu was once the unarmed combat art of the fierce Samurai, these days it serves better as a form of self defense and exercise that fosters self confidence without aggression, and helps to promote balance, harmony, and the development of ki (energy/spirit) in one's daily life.
 
Meditation is done at the end of each practice.
