Complete Self-Defense Training for Real World Situations

What is Traditional Jujitsu?

Unlike Brazilian jiu-jitsu which focuses primarily on ground fighting, traditional Japanese jujitsu is a comprehensive self-defense system that prepares you for real world situations. Our curriculum includes standing techniques, throws, joint locks, strikes, and ground defense, giving you confidence in any scenario.

Where are you located?

4431 Mayfield Rd, South Euclid, OH 44121

We serve students from Mayfield, South Euclid, Cleveland, Richmond Heights, University Heights, Lyndhurst, and many other local areas from our South Euclid location with convenient class times for both kids and adults.

What should I wear to my first jujitsu class?

For your first class, comfortable athletic clothing (t-shirt and sweatpants/shorts) is perfect. Once you join, we'll help you get a traditional gi (uniform) for regular training.

I'm completely out of shape. Can I really do this?

Absolutely! Over 60% of our new students haven't exercised regularly in years. Our program meets you where you are and builds gradually. Every technique can be modified, and you work at your own pace. 

Will I get hurt? I have old injuries I'm worried about

Safety is our top priority. All techniques are practiced with control, and our experienced instructors provide modifications for any physical limitations. You'll never be pressured beyond your comfort level.

How long before I can defend myself?

You'll learn practical defensive techniques in your very first class. Within 3-6 months of regular training (2x per week), most students feel confident in basic self-defense situations. However, jujitsu is a lifelong journey, even our black belts continue learning.

How much does it cost?

Our pricing is competitive with other Cleveland-area martial arts schools and significantly less than personal training. We offer several membership tiers to fit different budgets. View it as an investment in your health, safety, and personal development. Contact us for current rates and family discounts.
