Experienced Professors

Professors Ed and Matt are experienced in working with youths, both within and outside of the Dojo. Professor Ed spent over 15 years supervising a children’s emergency shelter and residential treatment program and is passionate about using his experience to aid in the development of our youth students.

Professor Matt spent over 30 years as a law enforcement officer, retiring as a police lieutenant, during which time he repeatedly witnessed the detrimental effects of children not engaged in a positive outlet of energy. He recognized the need for positive role models and how Jui-Jitsu can be an opportunity for youths to build self-confidence while improving their physical fitness.

Program Goals: Ages 6 – 8

Children ages 6-8 will focus on learning and building the basic foundation of Jui-Jitsu. This includes techniques and big-picture concepts such as teamwork and goal achievement through methods including basic instruction, interactive related games, and hands-on applications.

Program Goals: Ages 8 – 12

Children ages 8-12 will continue to build on the basic foundation of Jui-Jitsu through more detailed instruction of the basic techniques and the introduction of more advanced techniques. We incorporated goal-related games, hands-on applications, and more in-depth discussions of the core values.
