Three martial arts. One studio. No contracts. In the heart of Old Town Alexandria, VA. Kids bjj ages 5-15. Open to all levels.

Class dismissed. Respect earned. This is the part they don't show in the highlight reels.
Do you know how to roll?
Most people don't. And one unexpected fall can change everything.
In Budoshin Japanese Ju-Jitsu, we teach you how to roll effectively - and it's one of the most practical skills you'll ever learn. A slip on ice. A stumble down stairs. An accident at work. Knowing how to fall safely could be the difference between a bruise and a serious injury.
It builds confidence too. When you know your body can handle impact, you move through the world differently.
We offer 3 classes a week to learn. No experience needed. Just show up ready to level up a skill that matters in real life.
One afternoon. Real instructors. Kids who leave different. 🥋
Our coaches have spent years teaching kids - and parents notice the change. More discipline. More focus. More confidence. More willing to try.
This Saturday, experience it yourself at our Kids Karate Open House.

Timing and spacing - the two things you can't muscle your way through. This is what controlled sparring looks like: reading distance, waiting for the opening, and trusting your partner to push you without hurting you.
Skill over strength, every time.

The best part of teaching Budoshin Japanese Ju-jitsu? Getting thrown. A lot. Every one of these falls is a student getting the technique right - including one of our newest students.
A good sensei hits the mat more than anyone in the room. That's how you know the students are learning. -jitsu -defense
There's no faking it on the mat. No filters, no highlight reels - just breathing, problem-solving, and the occasional face that says "why do I pay for this?"
And yet everyone comes back. Because the struggle is the fun part.

Most people don't know Japanese Ju-Jitsu includes this...
From Sensei's recent American Ju-Jitsu seminar - traditional weapons training is part of the Japanese Ju-Jitsu curriculum at OTMA.
Ju-jitsu is the original art the samurai used: throws, joint locks, strikes, and weapons. It's rare to find it taught in the DC area, and it's right here in Old Town.
