This website is still undergoing redevelopment. The photo gallery will be back soon, along with a new video page as well.

What we teach:

We teach Jujitsu as art and common sense self defense. Jujitsu traces its heritage to the Samurai on the battle field. It has recently been referred to as the art of modern times. What distinguishes KoKoDo Jujitsu is the gentleness of it’s techniques coupled with the sharp pain forcing compliance.

We are part of the KoKoDo Jujitsu under Grandmaster Yasuhiro Irie.

KoKoDo Jujitsu is a system which uses the body’s Keiraku (meridian system) to create varying amounts of pain to control an attacker without necessarily causing serious injury.

KoKoDo techniques usually involve Osae (arresting) or Nage/Otoshi (throwing/dropping) techniques. These may utilize Keiraku, Katame (joint locks), and/or methods of Kuzushi (off-balancing).  The primary instruction is through Kihon Waza (Basic Technique) which utilize Gensoku (principles).  The KoKoDo Jujitsu system is based on principles not set techniques for various situations.  Once a student has mastered the principle, he or she is able to develop their own Henka (variations).

Who do we teach:

We have classes for kids, and adults. We have open classes where all may attend. See the Class Schedule page for class times.
