When Escape is Not an Option

Self Defense tommorow at the River Road Park prairie road annex (Gymnastics NW). We have 59 registered participants. We expect at least 40 will show up. Sensei DeHart started this event in 2005 and this is definitely the highest registration count. We have jujitsu, karate and taekwondo instructors and their students to help bring the event to life. We always have a lot of fun and the participants come away feeling empowered.

Starting September 5th, 2017, Professor Don Cross of Danzan-Ryu Jujitsu joins the Karate and Self-defense class that has been continuously meeting every Tuesday and Thursday evening since 2001. We are merging into a jointly taught Jujitsu and Karate class. A youth class designed for ages 7 to 13 meets from 6:30pm to 7:15. The adults class, for ages 14 and up, follows immediately after at 7:15 and ends at 8:30. By adopting and modifying the Fundamentals Course from the Danzan-Ryu Jujitsu curriculum the student will learn both art forms simultaneously for the first year or so. At that point the student can declare which program to pursue for advanced colored belt ranking. Students can also chose to pursue ranking in both Karate and Jujitsu. Shorin-Ryu Karate Sensei Dave DeHart, Kenjitsu and Karate Sensei David Hulegaard, and Professor Cross will share teaching duties and facility space.
