TAIJUTSU SELF SEFENSE is a Virginia based group in Northern VA (Great Falls) and Richmond of authentic Japanese martial arts with the warrior essence still alive for practicality in today's situations. Our martial art is not a dead historical tradition, nor focused around sports competition. Our Great Falls general and introductory class is Wednesday evenings and we have other weekly training at different locations.
