Where we originated from

Our martial arts school, Jiyu Martial Arts, was founded in 2006 with a student-centric approach. The school was created with the goal of promoting martial arts as a means to achieve physical and mental wellbeing, and instilling values like respect and discipline into its curriculum and daily practices.

Our focus has always been on creating a respectful and disciplined environment in our classes, where students treat each other with respect and show discipline in their practice. As we enter 2025, we are proud to have reached a milestone of teaching over 190 students a week across all of our Karate and Kickboxing classes.

At Jiyu Martial Arts, we believe in providing a safe and inclusive environment where everyone can learn and grow together, regardless of age or skill level. Our name, Jiyu Martial Arts, reflects this approach. Jiyu means freedom – a core vaule in martial arts. Freedom to move. Freedom to become the best version of yourself. We want you to be free to discover and develop your own unique style blending various styles to create a modern form of self-defense while staying true to martial arts’ traditions and values.
