History

Established in 1989.

JuKiDo literally translated means «the Gentle Powerful Way.» The system is a blend of soft and hard styles of martial arts with an ultimate goal of learning to disable a man from doing wrong and enable him to do right. JuKiDo is fundamentally more than just a martial arts system, but as with traditional martial arts, it is a way of life.

JuKiDo students are trained in three specific areas: Self Defense, Physical Fitness and Character Development. JuKiDo training has numerous benefits, and has shown its ability to relieve individuals from prescription medications, deliver youth from social disorders, increase physical capabilities, boost personal confidence, and balance lifestyles through practiced discipline.
