The Goderich Martial Arts Dojo practices Hakko Denshin Ryu, a traditional Japanese form of Ju Jutsu. Sensei DeJong has achieved the rank of Sandan or 3rd degree Black Belt. Ongoing classes are available to people of many ages and levels of ability, including classes for children ages eight and up. Ju Jutsu, "The Gentle Art," is meant to be a defensive form of martial art and incorporates principles of wrist and joint lock techniques, leg sweeps, and acupressure. Basic skills of falling, punching, kicking and escaping are also taught. It is a non-aggressive self-defense form that benefits all ages and levels of ability. Students of this art are not trained to attack but to defend themselves. Our main goal is to teach self-defense and prevention, not to promote competition.
