History
Santa Barbara Jujitsu Kai was founded by Sensei Jay Kalisek, Sandan, who continues as schoolhead. With over 30 years of Jujitsu experience, Sensei Jay shares his enthusiasm on the mat most nights of the week. Most practitioners of DanZan Ryu Jujitsu find a common thread of wanting to share the art with any who is willing to learn.
Specialties
Santa Barbara Jujitsu Kai is a DanZan Ryu Dojo, affiliated with the American Judo and Jujitsu Federation. We teach Jujitsu to any who will learn, regardless of situation. The DanZan Ryu curriculum also includes a healing arts program, consisting of massage, therapies, and other restoration techniques. We DO NOT train for the cage, and eschew aggressive work outs in favor of self-control. Introductory classes are always free and one can begin anytime.
