Kanjizai Academy of Jiu-Jitsu

Have been doing a family lesson for months. Sensei Kevin is a phenomenal teacher- he’s skilled at teaching our young kids in a way they understand. He teaches in a practical way- for self defense against bullies and bad guys. I’m feeling confident with my ability to handle myself, and confident for my girls to defend themselves and not panic. 1000% recommend you come here!!

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 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.

Absolutely amazing coaches, great style of teaching, and i have learned so much in a short span of time. I seriously recommend coming here.

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!
