Jugoshin Ryu Jujutsu

Jugoshin Ryu Jujutsu is passionate about the traditional fighting arts but prefer functionality over empty ritual. We have fused the old and the new, both traditional martial arts and modern martial arts in our system. This gives us the best of both worlds. We appreciate both schools of martial arts, the traditional, for the respect and values, and the modern style for the realistic approach to training. Traditionally martial arts were used in war and for defense when they were originated. That is why they are called "martial" which means war like. Yet, with time, they have become a sport with rules that are unrealistic for combat and in general do not work in the street. The modern system of Jugoshin Ryu Jujutsu is more realistic. It is as real as it gets and can be used in the streets for self defense. This concept is not new, the Samurai of Japan believed in mixed martial arts. They crossed trained and were well versed in all aspects of fighting. Jugoshin Ryu Jujutsu looks to bring back the spirit of the Samurai while continuously evolving with the times.

We believe in Bruce Lee’s philosophy of using what works and discarding what is useless.
