At Sanchin dojo we teach the traditional Japanese arts of Shito Ryu and Ju Jutsu.
Shito-Ryu Karate
Shito-Ryu is one of the major schools or sub-styles of Karate. This Karate sub-style was formed in 1931 by Kenwa Mabuni. The name of the style “Shito-Ryu” is derived from Kenwa Mabuni Sensei’s two teachers: Ankō Itosu, a famous teacher of Shuri-te karate, and Kanryō Higaonna, a prominent teacher of Naha-te karate. Shito-Ryu combines aspects of both hard and soft, internal and external martial arts, such as physical strength and powerful stances as seen in Shuri-te styles such as Shorin-ryu and Shotokan, as well as circular movements and breathing power of Naha-te styles such as Uechi-ryu and Goju-ryu.

Japanese Ju Jutsu
Japanese Jujutsu, also known as Jiu-jitsu, is a traditional Japanese martial art with roots tracing back to the samurai class. It encompasses a wide range of techniques including striking, grappling, throws, joint locks, and chokes, designed for both self-defense and combat situations. Jujutsu emphasizes using an opponent's own weight and momentum against them, often employing "soft" or yielding techniques to overcome a stronger adversary.
