Kanjizai Academy of Jiu-Jitsu

My son and I started taking classes a few months ago. We both absolutely love it . The instruction is fantastic and the other students are very welcoming and helpful.

Our family has been going to Kanjizai for a while now. We really enjoy it and our kids get a lot out of it. Sensei Kevin is so great with them. He is just firm enough to keep class on track but also exhibits a high degree of patience with them. I love to watch him teach a class and I really value the diversity that is offered here. I highly recommend checking it out!

I was looking for a Jiu Jitsu academy in Towson and Kanjizai’s proximity to Towson Univ. made it quite appealing to me. As well as the reputation it has in the area. Since beginning my training there, the experience has been amazing. Kevin, who’s a professional in his art, is very informative without making training overwhelming for newcomers. The atmosphere is welcoming for anyone new to martial arts, like I was. Definitely would recommend for anyone wanting to try it out!

Kanjizai Academy is a great place to learn Jiu-Jitsu. My son felt welcomed and part of the class. Kevin is a really thorough teacher. Would recommend!

I was looking for a place with a children's self-defense program and found Kanjizai. After starting my son in Little Ninjas, I read more about the Combatives philosophy and decided I liked the approach. As a result, I also signed up for classes at Kanjizai. My son and I now have more than a year of classes/training in jiu jitsu, and we both still very much enjoy the activity and the challenge of learning new techniques. My younger son wanted to participate, as well, so he is also now taking classes. It is quite personally rewarding to share this experience with them. I can't speak highly enough about the welcoming environment that Kevin and Jimmy create in the dojo. It is collegial and fun, yet they are both serious and professional about teaching jiu jitsu. As a result, I have made some good friends at Kanjizai, and I look forward to attending classes/training sessions on a weekly basis. An additional side benefit is that I no longer need to hit the gym, as the jiu jitsu is a great workout. Staying fit while learning a useful set of skills has eliminated the boredom from my exercise routine.

Our 10 year old and five year old have been working with Kevin for two years and it’s been an incredible experience for all of us. They’ve gained discipline and confidence, and become more respectful and helpful at home. Huge thanks to these guys!

Kanjizai Academy of Jiu-Jitsu is amazing! Sensei Kevin is an awesome instructor. More importantly my children has learned alot!

Great school great sensee great atmosphere and the kids really learn my son joined 4 months ago and he love it. Keep up the good work

sensei kevin is really great with kids and is an excellent jiu jitsu instructor. my son is 7 and has been going for a little over a year. sensei kevin has helped him discover a lot of discipline, confidence, challenges, sportsmanship, and amazing things his own little body can do. kevin encourages positive behavior in and out of class to great effect. the class is diverse and welcoming to everyone. i have to say that kevin's politics can puzzle and freak me out sometimes if i look at his bulletin board, and i know they've turned some people off for good, but i'm really glad we've stuck with it- good for all of us to expand our comfort zones.

This academy is the most welcoming jiu jitsu gym I’ve ever been a part of. From day one I’ve loved the enthusiasm and genuineness of Coach Kevin’s (and all other coaches here) teaching style. Also, Coach Kevin continuously does his best to put in lots of time actually engaging with each student on a personal level. He breaks down difficult techniques in a way that anyone can master them.
