Budoshin Ju-Jitsu
The Gentle Art of Self-Defense
Menu
The Budoshin Ju-Jitsu Yudanshakai [BJJY] was created in 1994 to meet the needs of my black belts and inquiries by people like you who had purchased my jujitsu books or videos and wanted help to enhance and progress in the art. Both groups wanted to have a “home”. The BJJY was created to be that “home”.
The BJJY uses a variety of methods to assure a top quality support program, blending the traditional standards and format of the art of Ju-Jitsu with modern technology. Whether you’re a new student just learning the art or an experienced black belt the instructional materials [books, videos, and handbooks] up through godan [5th dan] are cross-referenced so that you know exactly what you need when to secure proficiency or mastery of the art.
Your BJJY membership entitles you to a variety of free services listed below that are part of your membership package. My goal is to help you proceed as safely, smoothly, and competently to your goals as a jujitsuka.
BJJY membership also provides you with the most important element necessary for your successful growth: fast personalized service. Whether you’re a white belt or a black belt, if you ask a question it will be answered – – – promptly by clicking HERE.
