Child and Early Teen Training Programs
Ages 4 to 6

Junior Olympians
The curriculum taught in the Junior Olympian class teaches your child how to fall and roll safely while developing the basic judo skills needed for the next level. In a non-competitive, controlled environment the children are taught to respect and cooperate with each other. It’s a lot of fun and the kids always leave with smiles on their faces.

2 times a week plus BONUS CLASS

 

Ages 7 to Early Teen

Junior Judo
This class specializes in bringing your child into the full curriculum of Olympic Judo. Children in this age group are more mature and need to be challenged both mentally and physically. The Junior Judo program takes your child in a step-by-step work-at-your-own-pace manner and develops their strength, stamina and agility. In no time your child will feel better, be more confident and more aware. Plus he or she will have some real skills to protect themselves from bullies and other predators they will encounter at school. What we like to say is that the ZenShin kids develop real “school yard confidence”. Kids in this program also are taught to avoid physical contact with adult predators at all costs and not to let themselves get isolated.

Adult and Teen Training Programs

The adult programs at ZenShin feature both certification and training in Tekkenryu Jujutsu and Kodokan Judo. That’s two internationally recognized Black Belts in one complete training program. You’ll get all the self defense and close quarters combat from Tekkenryu Jujutsu and all of the conditioning and confidence from Kodokan Judo. The result is the ultimate “mixed martial art for the street”. Even if you only decide to study with us a short while, you’ll have all you need to know when it comes to self defense, but chances are, you’ll be a member of the dojo for some time to come.

A Brief History Martial Arts and Self Defense

Many martial arts and self defense systems are derived from military combatives; the study of hand-to-hand combat and martial arts in warfare. After all, the term "martial art" means "art of warfare." For example, the sport of judo comes from jujutsu, which comes from samurai grappling, which was part of the training Japanese warriors received as preparation for battle.

Many weapon-oriented martial arts, such as iado, kendo, kyudo and naganata-do originated in schools of martial techniques for warriors. These weapons, the sword, bow and arrow, and pole arm, were the assault rifles and machine guns of their time--the default weapons of military fighters--and as such were key components in combat training.

The Western interest in East Asian Martial arts dates back to the late 19th Century AD, due to the increase in trade between America with China and Japan. Relatively few Westerners actually practiced the martial arts, considering it to be mere performance.

Edward William Barton-Wright, a railway engineer who had studied the martial art Jujutsu while working in Japan between 1894-97, was the first man known to have taught Asian martial arts in Europe. He also founded an eclectic martial arts style named Bartitsu which combined jujutsu, judo, boxing, savate and stick fighting.

William E. Fairbairn, a Shanghai policeman and at the time a leading Western expert on Asian fighting techniques, was recruited during world War II by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) to teach UK, U.S. and Canadian Commando and Ranger forces Jujutsu.

The seminal self-defense book Kill or Get Killed was written by Colonel Rex Applegate, who worked closely with Fairbairn to train the "First Special Service," a joint U.S. and Canadian army unit; it became a classic military treatise on hand to hand combat and created the reality based martial art "Defendu." Modern variations that can still trace an authentic lineage to Applegate are very few.

Seeing the need to bring these legitimate and proven techniques and method of close-combat back into the Modern world of "hobby" Martial Arts (Karate, Kung Fu, Capoiera, Aikido, etc.) and "sport" Martial Arts (Judo, Brazilian Jui-jitsu, Wrestling, Kick Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts, Ultimate fighting , etc.), Yoshisada Yonezuka, Damian Ross, Roger Jones and Peter Barry have dedicated their lives to teaching, instruction, and spreading the "truth" about Martial Arts, street fighting, self defense, and close combat.
