Jujitsu is the art of reconciliation.

Who ever has the mind to fight has broken his connection to the universe.

If you try to dominate people, you are already defeated.

We study how to resolve conflict, not how to start it.

When one can see the philosophy, or theme of the Martial Arts in all things, one can truly see much.

" The fights that matter are not for gold medals, fame, fortune, personal glory, and bragging rights, they are for the difficulties we accumulate within ourselves. That is what matters most!"

Martial Arts must be used for Emergency Situations and Self Defense Only.

DO NOT BE FOOLED! Do not join a school with only ground or only standing techniques. Police know that when fighting more than one attacker you must not go to the ground, rather, you must remain standing. If knocked down you must know how to defend yourself on the ground. However, to learn just ground fighting is also learning half of what you need to know. That is why all of our classes are continually enhanced, and balanced with half standing, and half ground grappling techniques. Master Raimondi teaches Practical Standing Jujitsu Self Defense geared for the Street, and Ground Fighting which incorporates Brazilian and other effective styles.

Through meditation skills we see the greatest enemy we face is our own sleepiness, therefore we wake up to the devine we share with all life. When we do, sleepy people become afraid of what they do not understand and lash out, trying to physically hurt us. When that happens we use our martial arts skills to protect us from harm, as a last resort, and for emergency situations only.
Master Raimondi teaches practical meditation for the times in which we live. For over three decades now Master Raimondi has been practicing, teaching, and studying the ways of such great meditation Masters as Osho, Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra, Gangaji, Papaji, and other truthful, meaningful, and effective teachers of meditation styles.

"The measure of any instructor's worth is not only what he himself can do, but rather, what he can lead others to accomplish" ~Master Frank Raimondi

Remember Jujitsu is the premiere Art of the Martial Arts. That is why this type of Jujitsu is the art of choice taught to the Military Special Forces and the Police. The roots of this style of Jujitsu are in Meditation. Check out our MARTIAL ART WORDS TO LIVE BY.
