Zen Budokai Jujitsu in San Francisco, CA, offers a modern self-defense system rooted in Japanese jujutsu. Their curriculum encompasses a wide array of techniques including throws, joint locks, chokes, strikes, and ground defenses.
Setting themselves apart from Brazilian Jiu-jitsu & MMA schools, Zen Budokai Jujitsu places a strong emphasis on practical self-defense from a standing position rather than competitive ground fighting. Students not only learn how to protect themselves but also gain skills to manage threats, including weapons, and safeguard others.
With a rich history in San Francisco, Zen Budokai Jujitsu prides itself on fostering a diverse community with a culture that values respect over hype and commercialization. They welcome students from various martial arts backgrounds and require no prior experience, fostering an inclusive learning environment.
