Train in JMAC's Newly Expanded Dojo!

Have you ever wondered how much your training environment impacts your progress?

Looking for a dojo in Ann Arbor that’s designed to support both safety and performance—no matter your experience level?

Train in a Newly Expanded, Purpose-Built Facility

Kozen Grappling launches alongside an exciting milestone for JMAC: the near completion of our
expansion and renovation. The upgraded dojo features:

• Two large, clean, and well-lit training areas
• A fully sprung floor designed to reduce impact and support longevity
• Improved space for demonstrations, open houses, and community events

These enhancements create an environment where students can train harder, safer, and more comfortably—whether they’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or refining advanced techniques.

Special 2026 Launch Opportunity

To celebrate the launch, Kozen Grappling will be offered to current JMAC students at no charge for the first half of 2026. This pilot program allows students to explore Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, experience its synergy with Judo, and help shape the future of grappling at JMAC.

JMAC Introduces New Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Classes!

Are you curious about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but want a program that respects tradition as much as technique?

Looking for BJJ in Ann Arbor that goes deeper than trends and competition alone?

Kozen Grappling is JMAC’s newly launched Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program, designed to expand our grappling curriculum while staying true to our Japanese martial arts foundation. Rather than treating BJJ as a standalone discipline, Kozen Grappling blends the foundational principles of Kodokan Judo and Kosen Judo with the strategic depth and expressive freedom of modern Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

The result is a unified grappling system—one that respects lineage, values technical precision, and evolves to meet today’s competitive and self-development goals. For students searching for BJJ Ann Arbor programs that go beyond trends and focus on substance, Kozen Grappling offers a thoughtful and disciplined approach.

Why Add Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to JMAC?

The purpose of introducing a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program at JMAC is simple but powerful: to broaden
our students’ understanding of grappling without abandoning the values that define our dojo.

BJJ emphasizes:

• Positional control
• Ground-based problem solving
• Submissions and transitions
• Strategic patience and adaptability
