How We Train

At NKJU® National Karate Jiu-Jitsu Union, we believe learning never stops. Our Waza Kihon are taught in their original way. “If it is not broken then why fix it”.  We offer training in Kata and its Bunkai, Jiu-Jitsu, Kobudo, Kumite, and Tameshiwari.

Our Dan Board

Decades of training, sweating, and hard work studying multiple disciplines has given our Dan board a unique perspective. Our board has studied different Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Thai and Grappling arts and is well versed to help people of all experience levels.
