Details: Looking for an established traditional martial arts school which offers practical self defense training, and is not interested in competition? You've come to the right place! Since 1990, Ju-Jitsu Dojo of Columbia has provided Japanese ju-jitsu-based, practical self-defense training to men and women from all walks of life. Current and former students consistently remark that the type and quality of training we provide is very difficult to find. If you want to learn how to: avoid threatening situations; respond to lower-level threats; defend yourself against a wide variety of armed and unarmed attacks. Come train with us. No prior experience is required. Individuals of all sizes and ages, including those with disabilities, train here - so can you! In addition to learning to protect yourself, the way we train will increase your: endurance, strength, coordination, cardiovascular fitness. We also offer youth classes, where our younger students develop situational awareness and learn the fundamentals of self-protection. Good values and character development are also an integral part of our training program.

Kids Program Detail: Even in the youth (ages 6-13) classes, our students learn traditional jujitsu. We make the classes fun, but expect a certain level of focus and dedication from the students. Age is not necessarily an indicator, as each child is different; some students (of any age) have the focus, some do not. The best way to find out is to bring your child and have them try a class! That way you and we can see how the child does, and mutually decide whether they're ready to join yet. On the personal side, students in the youth classes learn: respect for self and others, focus, self-discipline, confidence. They also learn: the fundamentals of self protection; situational awareness; coordination; body and spatial awareness; how to roll and fall safely; proper form for punches and kicks; Japanese terms and concepts. We do not spar, and students under the age of 18 are not eligible to earn a black belt. As they advance, they will become eligible to join the juniors class. The youth in our classes quickly learn that size is not an issue in performing techniques. What we teach does not need size or strength to perform, because it takes advantage of the way the human body is built. The students particularly enjoy being able to make techniques work on someone several times their size! Parents are always welcome to watch our classes, and to discuss our program with the other parents whose children attend. Enrollments are ongoing, so you can join at any time of the month.

Woman Only Program Detail: Beginning in July 2012, Ju-Jitsu Dojo of Columbia is offering women-only (ages 14 and up) classes. This separate program covers the same curriculum as the mixed classes, and is taught by the dojo's senior female instructor. Why do we offer them? We recognize that some women are not initially comfortable training with men. If you are one, this gives you the opportunity to concentrate on learning the techniques while dealing with someone of the same gender being in your space. Attendance at these classes does not allow attendance at any of the other classes, but you may transition to the regular classes at any time, as you become comfortable with the techniques. We encourage you to do so, as it will enable you to develop the skills to be able to deal with the psychological pressure of a male attacker, and to explore how to make the techniques work on individuals who are larger and/or heavier than you. Regardless of in which classes you train, you will find the same friendly, supportive environment which has always been one of the hallmarks of our dojo. We do not spar or compete.
