Jiu-Jitsu
~ The Gentle Art~

 

At The Martial Arts Center, we teach the Japanese system of Shintoyoshin-Kai Jiu-Jitsu

This system emphasizes balance, leverage, and sensitivity while learning the aspects of falling, throwing, striking, groundwork, and basic self-defense. The emphasis in Jiu-Jitsu is on grappling -- both standing and on the ground, although we are known to be a striking art.
