Jujutsu

Sensei Dean has studied Jujutsu for 20 years and is constantly working to improve his techniques and teaching. He prepares students to protect themselves in real-life, threatening situations; therefore, most of his teachings are not bound by the rules seen in sport fighting such as MMA. That being said, Sensei also recognizes the effectiveness of many of the techniques used in competition and teaches those to his students who wish to compete under those rules.

So, what is Jujutsu? Although there are many variations, Jujutsu is considered the correct spelling and translates to mean "gentle art." Jujutsu originated as a system of unarmed combat among the samurai of feudal Japan. There are many variations of the art, but the emphasis is on using the opponent's force against himself rather than confronting it with one's own force. Jujutsu is a complete system of self-defense that utilizes, but is not limited to, ground grappling, strikes, throws, sweeps, joint locks/breaks, pushes, pulls, squeezes, chokes, and stomps. Jujutsu is an excellent form of combat, whether used on the battlefield, in law enforcement, for self-defense or for sport.

I recently left the dojo to train at another local jiu jitsu facility. After being away for 6 months, I returned realizing what I had been missing. The individualized attention and support is outstanding. Ryan Dean encourages a non competitive atmosphere conducive to learning and training. I enjoy the classes at the the dojo and recommend them fully. Daren
