CLASSES FOR ALL AGES
Sanuces Ryu Jujitsu
TASD offers Martial Arts for ages 5 - Adult. We divide our classes by age not skill or belt levels, this allows more experienced students to learn by teaching and newer students the examples of their Seniors to follow.
Younger or Lower ranked students are started with a Karate Base that originates from our Sensei background in Isshin Ryu Karate and Tae Kwon Do.
Students gain additional skills as they gain experience in Judo concepts as well as Aiki concepts culminating in Sanuces Ryu Jujitsu Self Defense training once the basics are established.
​
Our students can also train in DAS Arnis, system of Filipino Fighting Art founded by GM Rodel Dagooc . The flow and movement of the Arnis compliment our students Jujitsu and improve hand eye coordination as well as the ability to move and react to changing situations.
Our Focus is on Self Defense, we are not a "tournament " oriented school. TASD only tests it's students 3 times each year and the focus is on skills and self defense not on acquisition of new belts.

DRAGONS
Ages 5 - 7
Our focus at this age is Big Picture Basics. We teach fundamentals of Karate: Blocking, Punching, Kicking, and Stances. Our goal is to prepare our young students to confidently meet any challenge weather that challenge be on the play ground or in the dojo.
TIGERS
Ages 7 - 12
Students in the Tigers Class continue with an exploration of Karate Basics but, with a longer attention span and increased discipline we begin to add in elements of judo and for higher ranking students elements of Aiki concepts to expand their abilities.
​
ORANGE BELT AND ABOVE CLASS
Friday Evenings
Our Orange Belt and Above Class is provided to give higher ranked students time to work on their skills at an elevated level.
ADULTS
Ages 13 - Up
Each class begins with a rigorous workout for explosive muscle confusion; a combination of calisthenics, plyometrics, weight training, core strength and cardio development, and boxing.
This is followed by review of technique, forms, and self-defense scenario training –
including multiple attackers and close range weapons.
​
Our goal is for the individual progression of each student, the personalization of technique application from student to student is what embodies Sanuces-Ryu Jiu-jitsu.
​
Our training embodies: The Power of Karate, Agility of boxing, Speed of Arnis, Flow of Aikido, and the Joint Locking, Breaking and Nerve Attacks of Jiu-Jitsu.
