Right now I'm teaching jujutsu at the YMCA in Valparaiso IN. Class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:10 - 8:30 p.m. There is a open mat time afterwards until the Y closes or I want to go home. There is also a class on Saturdays at 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Cost is 20$ for YMCA members and 40$ for non-members. That is for a 7 week session in the winter, and a 5 week session in the summer. If you havent done jujutsu at the YMCA before you can also stop in to try a free class to see if you like it.

If you were to get enough students, could you possibly teach some outside of the Y...say, at your house or somewhere else? And if not, how good is the Brazilian Jiujustu that you suggested to check out at Southlake Nautilus?

I don't plan on teaching outside the YMCA anytime soon. It is an excellent facility, and they treat me good there. It is also very cold in my garage right now and I dont think i could get egnough students to come regularly to make it worth my while. Not only that my schedule is already pretty tight right now. The Brazillian Jujutsu is excellent, prolly the best in the area. Its different than the style of jujutsu I teach but makes a good compliment to your striking arts since statisiclly 80-90% of fights go to the ground. The ground grappeling taught there is way superior to what you would find in my jujutsu class. However we don't focus on that aspect very much.

What exactly is different from the style you teach and the Brazilian over at Nautilus? So you wouldn't teach outside the Y at your house, but you would do it at the Y after the class is over with? What would you be charging?

The biggest difference is the focus. Brazillian Jujutsu at least from what ive experinced focuses on ground grappeling almost exclusively. They do some throws, but focus mroe on the ground. The style I teach focuses on throws primarily, with a small bit of grappeling relative to BJJ, and a small bit of striking relative to karate or other striking styles. So to put a rough estamate of what is composed in the style of Jujutsu I teach would be Throwing: 50% Striking 25% Joint Locks 10% Chokes 10% Immoblilizations 5% and then apply all of the above to different combat oriented situations.
What I would be running at the YMCA outside of jujutsu would just be a place to come practice techniques on someone else. I wouldnt do to much teaching during it other than advice and such. It would be open to toeido or jujutsu students or anyone else who just wants someone to work with and get feedback. But mostly I want to use that time to do some personal training as well as working on techniques you or whoever already knows. I don't really want to teach whole new concepts or techniques to much, but it will probably happen if we have a couple differnt people in there trying to work on the same thing, and one doesnt know the technique. That training time would be free.
