Kodo Juitsu = “Art of the Ancient Way”
Kodo Juitsu, “Art of the Ancient Way”, is a martial arts system developed by Head Instructor Chip Jackson that honors the historical teachings of Shaolin Temples. Taught in Virginia Beach, VA, Kodo Juitsu strives to undilute the art and return it to its original essence prior to its development as a competitive sport. Students of Kodo Juitsu learn practical self-defense techniques, as well as meditation, physical health, etiquette, advanced citizenship, mental wellness concepts, and the philosophy and history of martial arts.
