The following comment popped up on our recent “Medford Doesn’t Play Nice” post, and we thought it was worth passing on.
Hi, we have a martial arts program in Arlington on 1100 Massachusetts Avenue that is run through the Cambridge Center for Adult Education.
Jujitsu & Ground Fighting: Jujitsu is the parent art of aikido, judo, and several styles of karate. Often called the ultimate self-defense, jujitsu techniques can be used against unarmed and armed attacks. We will practice blocks, strikes, kicks, joint locks, falls, ground fighting, and the use of pressure points in various self-defense scenarios.
Learn simple, easy-to-remember tips and techniques and develop a basic knowledge of the positions and techniques used in grappling and submission wrestling as you participate in a rigorous and energizing workout.
All experience levels and styles of practice are welcome. Wear comfortable workout clothing or a judo gi. Sundays, 11:00 am-1:00 pm & Tuesdays 7:15pm-9:15 pm.
I have run classes in the Cambridge area for 15 years and this is a fairly new location for us, so we would appreciate any support. We have a knife & stick seminar coming up on 4/29, 1:30-3:30 pm with Grandmaster Ken DeJesus.
Thank you,
Eric Bornstein
