I have been a student with Kanjizai for two years and couldn't say enough wonderful things about it. The training is incredibly well organized, and includes traditional fighting, as well as the modern applications, benefiting new and seasoned students alike. Those students looking for a high level of detail (specific terminology, comprehensive technique sequences, a clear curriculum and promotional expectations etc.) will also find it engaging and fulfilling as a result. The programs for children are also phenomenal, helping to instill good values and discipline while both teaching valuable self

I've been training with Sensei Kevin and Kanjizai Martial Arts for over 7 years. I've had 30 years of martial arts training and this is where I want to be. It doesn't matter if you're new to self-defense or a veteran, young or old, this school provides the material and intensity you need. I've found life-long friends here that I now call my family and I've never worked with a more accepting and understanding group of people anywhere before. All three of my children train here now and I'm thankful for the life-long skills, confidence, and discipline they will walk away with. If you haven't visited

Sensai Kevin is a definition of a real Shinobi he goes out his way for those who are dedicated to learn Jiujutsu, Ninjutsu, and getting in shape as long as you put in the work and don't play around!!! currently this ninja is a mission to obtain a security certification and both a GED and a high school diploma then back to the dojo for more spiritual refinement and taijutsu training !

I have to say I have been looking for a new style to learn and I happened to see a sign for Kanjizai Martial Arts while driving. I looked them up and saw what they taught and couldn't be more thrilled. I haven't joined yet but I intend to once able. I emailed about prices and such and got a swift and very courteous response. 5 stars!!

My son (11 y/o) has been taking classes at Kanjizai for over a year. He loves it so much that he begged to become part of the Demo team, the Black Belt Club, and the Special Winning Attitudes Team (SWAT) (includes weekly assisting with teaching the Little Ninjas class). His physical fitness, confidence, and sense of responsibility have all improved since joining. I was initially opposed to the idea of "fighting" as a sport, particularly for young boys, but the focus is actually on self-defense, self-awareness, physical fitness, personal responsibility, and discipline. I now personally feel that
