Welcome to Cushinan Ju-Jitsu Self-Defense & Control Tactics.

Our Ju-Jitsu Self-Defense & Control Tactics training includes offensive and defensive components of the most effective blocks-strikes-kicks-targets, breakfalls/rolls, sweeps, takedowns, ground survival tactics, close quarter tactics, club-knife-gun defense tactics, joint locks, and self-defense strategies. Our goal is to end each attack as quickly and as safely as possible by striking and disengaging (or a takedown and then striking and disengaging), while also having the option of applying a control hold or escort if necessary (depending on the situation or your professional position). Our training is ideal as your core self-defense training system, or as a compliment to your current training. 

Our training system has evolved over the past few years from very traditional Ju-Jitsu...to a focus on quick and effective self-devense takedowns and control tactics, known now as Koshou Ryu Taiho-Jutsu. This type of training system was created after many requests by students in security and law enforcement positions, for a Ju-Jitsu system focused on more potentially usable techniques for their line of work. This system was also influenced by requests from many other students, both new and from other martial arts disciplines, who were more interested in quick self-defense takedowns and control techniques type of training, rather than the traditional throws and sport related techniques.  Our new system, Koshou Ryu Taiho-Jutsu, utilizes the quick joint locks/sweeps/takedowns/escorts/weapons (yawara/tanbo/handbo) from White Belt to 1st level Black Belt.  Training from 2nd level Black Belt and onwards includes the more traditional Ju-Jitsu/Aikijutsu/Karate type techniques-throws-and a variety of Kobudo weapons, for those students who wish to continue training and enjoying the 'art'.
