The Art of Ju Jitsu

Wrist Lockpractical and effective self-defense.

At Goshin Martial Arts we teach traditional and modern Japanese Ju Jitsu. In the last few years ju jitsu has garnered a lot of interest world-wide due to promotions like the UFC, but ju jitsu has been around for centuries. Ju jitsu is the parent martial art of karate, judo, aikido, sambo and others, and was perfected by Japanese warriors and protectors known as Samurai.

Primarily a system of self-defense we also help coach and prepare athletes for Gi (uniform) and no-Gi Grappling tournaments as well as Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) promotions.
