Jujitsu is the ultimate self-defense art and incorporates elements of karate, aikido, judo, boxing, kickboxing, and wrestling.  Students develop skills in power and strength, balance, speed and precision. Studying the martial arts helps to build physical fitness, self-confidence, and physical grace. Children and adults learn the YMCA values of honesty, respect, responsibility, caring, and faith while participation in YMCA karate classes. Progress is measured in each class by a series of colored belts. Each level has a specific set of requirements and each student progresses at their own pace.
