The Kazoku Jiu Jitsu schools of Renfrew and Arnprior teach the Can-Ryu form of traditional Japanese Jiu Jitsu, combined with elements of Karate, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and boxing. The main spirit of the style is self defence, with a heavy emphasis on family and the martial bond

Striking: The best defence is a good offence.  By learning to strike strategically and accurately, the student will be able to best capitalize on openings in the opponent’s defence.

Blocking: Kazoku Jiu Jitsu teaches a variation of karate blocks, along with the Can Ryu Universal Blocking System.

Takedowns: No Jiu Jitsu school is complete without finding a way to throw the opponent to the ground.

Hold Escapes: A key aspect of self defence, Kazoku Jiu Jitsu helps students understand how best to remove themselves from many difficult situations.

Groundwork: With a close relationship with a local Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school, Kazoku includes many effective groundwork techniques.

Neck Restraints: In the worst cases, a life or death tactic is to put an aggressor to sleep.  Kazoku teaches several effective techniques to accomplish this.

Weapons: Kazoku Jiu Jitsu also trains students in the use of several traditional and modern weapons.
