Christjitsu

What is ChristJitsu?

ChristJitsu is a complete martial arts system that covers all aspects of self defense with the main goal of developing Christ like character in its participants. Our desire is that students will obtain confidence in defending themselves against both physical and spiritual threats by relying on the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Physical Art of ChristJitsu has a total of 9 belts participants go through before they reach the rank of Black Belt. ChristJitsu takes a 3 step approach to self defense. From beginner to intermediate and on into advance the material continues to build on itself.

self defense is to take basic concepts and body mechanics and to continue building upon them until participants have a well rounded skill set.

Students going through ChristJitsu can expect to test on average once every 3 months for new belt. Stripes are used in between belt testing to show how much material The program was designed to work hand-in-hand with the ChristJitsu Discipleship course.


The ChristJitsu Discipleship Course is designed to help you grow in your knowledge and understanding of God and your relationship with Him. As you go through the various ranks from beginner to advanced you will learn basic Christian truths, advanced concepts and how to come along side of others to teach them as well.


Beginner Ranks

In the physical art of ChristJitsu the first three ranks are considered to be beginner ranks. Here the foundation is laid for all future techniques. Without a firm foundation it is almost impossible to grasp more difficult concepts and techniques that are taught at later. The first three ranks of the ChristJitsu Discipleship course help participants understand some basic truths about the Christian faith.

Intermediate Ranks

The fourth, fifth and sixth belts in the physical art of ChristJitsu are known as the intermediate ranks. Students learn more of basic techniques and their applications. The ChristJitsu Discipleship course uses the intermediate ranks to help participants grow and strengthen their beliefs and learn how to rely on the Holy Spirit to live the life God has planned for them.

Advanced Ranks

The final three belts are known as advanced ranks in the physical art of ChristJitsu. By this point in training, participants should have mastered what they learned at beginner and intermediate levels and begun working towards mastering more advanced concepts and techniques. Here participants also help junior students learn the basics of the art. The ChristJitsu Discipleship material uses the advanced ranks in a similar manner. At advanced ranks participants will begin to understand and practice the idea of discipleship; training up others as followers of Christ.

The ChristJitsu discipleship course follows the same ranking structure as the physical art of ChristJitsu. However, if you are taking the physical art of ChristJitsu you may be asked to start the discipleship material at a beginner rank other then white belt so that you can follow along with what is being covered in class. You will eventually go through all 9 beginner lessons before you move onto intermediate level training. We pray that God will use this course to draw you closer to him and to mold you more into the image of Christ.
