Welcome to the American Kenpo Jiu Jitsu Academy.

Our Mission is to enrich the lives of our students & their families with prime martial arts education and valuable life skills.

We share a community where healthy, supportive & value oriented families can come together and help each other to successfully reach their goals.

We envision a future where every student achieves their highest goals, live happy balanced lives and work hard to become the new leaders of our community, country and world.

Our martial system is a blending of two practical and robust arts: Ed Parker's American Kenpo and Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. American Kenpo is internationally recognized as one of the premier stand-up martial arts, well known for its speed and power. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the current world-leader in grappling and submissions. We teach each art so that it remains true and complete to its unique style, yet combine them in seamless application. The synergy between the two arts is so complete you will not know where one ends and the other begins.

Both American Kenpo and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu are taught in their unaltered entirety. For example, when you are a Blue Belt in American Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu, you will also know all the material for a Blue Belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

We offer classes in both American Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu and stand-alone Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
You have the choice of studying the combined system or just Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

The American Kenpo Jiu Jitsu Academy in Woodland Hills  CA, is the World Headquoters of the American Kenpo Jiu Jitsu Federation with Afiliated Schools in Portugal, Australia, United States and other contries around the world, and also a Gracie Academy Certified Training Center.
