★★★★★ — Dr, Jun 2021

One of the best Dojos I've trained in. Sensei Alexey is extremely knowledgeable and helpful in teaching this hard to find, traditional martial art. He strikes a great balance between practical knowledge honed by years of training and application, with traditional Japanese concepts/ techniques to create an outstanding…

★★★★★ — Michael, Jul 2022

I trained with Sensei Alexey Kunin at Katabami Jujitsu for about 5 years earning the rank of second-degree brown belt. This was my second time going through Japanese Jujitsu ranks--I previously had earned a third-degree brown belt at another school before training with Sensei Kunin and started over with Katabami.

★★★★★ — Scott, Jun 2021

Katabami Ju-Jitsu is an amazing place to practice traditional Japanese martial art. If you happened to leave near by, you are very lucky to have such a high quality place near you. I’ve been practicing martial arts for 20 years already and did spend a few years in Katabami Ju-Jitsu school.

Your first BJJ class at Katabami Ju-Jitsu Dojo, School of Martial Arts and Eastern Healing Arts

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
