small-class format
The Kanjizai Academy has been open since 2012, and provided thousands of people the skills necessary to handle self-defense situations with confidence and understanding. Our mission has always been to spread these skills to the largest number of people in our community, regardless of age, gender, fitness, skill, or experience. We do this with a small-class format, which allows instructors to provide a significantly higher amount of personal attention to students of all types. Our class structure ensures that anyone can enter our academy, learn world-class self-defense, and get the best bang for their buck available in the area. If you want to learn self-defense, we can teach you! We can make young athletes stronger and better of course, but we also want those who are older, out-of-shape, small, weak, unconfident, inexperienced (...whatever!), to know that you can learn jiu-jitsu. And there's nowhere better equipped to teach it to you than Kanjizai Jiu-Jitsu.
