The JSA is a great place to train and push yourself.  The trainers there  are very helpful and actually know what you are talking about unlike other trainers at your typical gym.

Discovered a life passion

I have been working out for a while, typical bodybuilding type of training, and then discovered the JSA as a recommendation from a friend.

At least you’ve got Jits

In today’s world where your ability to use some of your most basic, most primitive, yet most essential skills is often constrained, at least you’ve got Jits.  For me, I find I’m most alive when I’m jumping out of an airplane or when someone is trying to choke me or break my arm and I...

Great place to train. The students and the instructors are helpful and approachable. I have been training in martial arts for over 25 years, at many gyms/dojos, and this place has the least amount of ego I have encountered.

Love the change from the mundane gym routine. I’ve been training at the JSA for two months now. For me, the group dynamic is the best part of working out there. During the circuit training workouts, everyone is giving their all and is being encouraged the whole time by the other participants. It really makes...

I have visited this school many times and continue to visit it. I have always been very well received by Matt (the owner), Ken (instructor, brown-belt), and Formiga (if you don’t know who he is, look him up on Youtube, this guy is a real class-act). It is an open school with friendly people and...
