Japanese Ju-Jitsu

Ju-Jitsu, the "gentle art", is an ancient Japanese martial art characterized by the use of the attacker's strength and momentum against them. It also includes the use of joint locks, strikes, blocks, and throws.

Adults and coachable teens are welcome! No experience is required.

How do I register for classes?

Please call (703) 838-8085 or go the YMCA Alexandria website.

A person seriously studying a martial art must have patience. It takes many small steps to climb a mountain, and the steps must be in certain places. Learning is not a rapid do-it-once-know-it process. It requires being patient with yourself and allowing yourself to grow at your own rate.
