Vision
Self Defense Academy COS' mission is to raise the physical confidence and overall wellness of students of all ages by teaching a complete and efficient self-defense & wellness skill set within a safe, clean, positive, and respectful environment.
We are committed to preserving the technical and philosophical roots of jujutsu (jiu-jitsu) as imparted to us by
Grandmasters Helio Gracie, Dr. Pedro Valente Sr., and
the Valente Brothers.
What makes us different is our commitment to a holistic jujutsu system that empowers you to believe that "YOU are worth defending".
Building Courage & Character
Jūjutsu is the way to the most effective use of physical, mental, and spiritual strength. By teaching you attacks and defenses it refines your body, your mind, and your soul and helps you make the spiritual essence of jūjutsu a part of your very being. In this way, you are able to perfect yourself and contribute something of value to the world.
Our Culture is built around this quote:
"Self Defense is not just a set of techniques.
It's a mindset that begins with the belief that
YOU ARE WORTH DEFENDING!"
The principle of maximum efficient use of mind and body is the fundamental principle governing all the techniques of jūjutsu. This principal can also be applied to the improvement of the human body making it strong, healthy, and useful, and so constitute physical education. It can also be applied to the improvement of intellectual and moral power, and this case constitutes mental and moral education. It can be applied to the improvement of diet, clothing, housing, social interaction, and methods of business, therefore constituting a study in living. Jūjutsu, in its fuller sense, is a study and a method of training in mind, body, and spirit as well as in the regulation of life and affairs.
Self-Defense Academy of COS's mission is to raise the physical confidence and overall wellness of students of all ages by teaching a complete and efficient self-defense & wellness skill set within a safe, clean, positive,
and respectful environment.
