Japanese Martial Arts Center (JMAC)

Welcome to JMAC, Ann Arbor's premier dojo for self-development through traditional martial arts! We offer exemplary instruction in legitimate, lineage-based Japanese martial arts. Our goal is to help each and every one of our students achieve excellence - in technique, character, and their relationship with the world. We do this through strict attention to detail, thoughtful practice, and tireless dedication to the pursuit of truth.

You don't have to be an expert to join JMAC, but we want you to become one. In return for your commitment to excellence, we will dedicate ourselves to helping you find your path to enlightenment through martial arts training. For some, it will be a long, difficult journey, but nothing is more worthwhile.

Our founders are among North America's most recognized figures in traditional Japanese budo today. They have been awarded many honors, published many books and articles, and they serve on the boards of some of the world's most respected traditional martial arts organizations. All of our instructors are continuously seeking to improve their own abilities and understanding, and to impart the principles they learn to our students. When you join JMAC, you become part of a unique and extraordinary family of martial artists intent on complete realization of the martial ideal - body, mind, and spirit.
