ANN ARBOR, Mich. - TelAve -- The Japanese Martial Arts Center (JMAC) has announced the launch of new Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes in Ann Arbor under the name Kozen Grappling, marking a significant expansion of its grappling curriculum and training offerings for 2026.

Kozen Grappling is designed to complement JMAC's long-standing foundation in Japanese martial arts, particularly Kodokan Judo and Nihon Jujutsu. Rather than treating Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a standalone discipline, the program integrates traditional Japanese grappling principles with the strategic depth and adaptability of modern BJJ. This unified approach provides students with a comprehensive system that emphasizes technical precision, positional control, and problem-solving on the ground.

The introduction of BJJ at JMAC reflects a broader educational vision focused on lineage, discipline, and long-term skill development. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu shares deep historical roots with Judo—especially Kosen Judo, which emphasized extended ground engagement—making its inclusion a natural evolution of JMAC's existing programs. The Kozen Grappling curriculum encourages cross-disciplinary learning while maintaining the values of respect, structure, and continuous improvement that define the JMAC training experience.
