STREET JITSU, Roanoke

In spite of the name, Street Jitsu students won't actually be training on the street, but that doesn't mean they're limited to training in the studio. Although Street Jitsu offers ample space and cushy floor mats on which to engage opponents or safely try on glass slippers, the trainers gladly travel to clients' homes or offices to impart private instruction. Wherever they are, the trainers bring the same level of expertise as they imbue students with practical self-defense and martial-arts techniques.
