Martial Arts in Lake Elsinore, California

The best martial arts for kids and adults

There are a number of advantages judo and jiu jitsu have over karate, taekwondo and other striking. For one, if you or your child has to defend against an attacker, do you really want to be in a swinging match? Judo and jiu jitsu are great equalizers, teaching how to get a fight to the ground with control, and to neutralize the danger even against bigger aggressors. 

Then there's a simple reality: If you want to be good at something, you have to practice it in a realistic setting. You need to spar! Kata—practicing forms alone—does not set you up for practical usage, and sparring in striking arts can be unnecessarily damaging. Judo and jiu jitsu are literally designed to spar at full speed while being safe, allowing us to throw our partners or take them to the point of submission without sustaining injury. 

There's a financial consideration in many gyms, also. Most karate and taekwondo schools offer a single session as a free trial, charge big signup fees on top of the monthly rate, then charge again for each stripe and belt "achieved." 

At Shimeru Judo & Jiu Jitsu Club, our members get a well-rounded grappling education that incorporates both the standing and ground games, studying the sport aspects as well as self-defense. We have only monthly dues—no startup fees or promotion charges—and we offer a full week free trial!
