Once the student has finished the 8 weeks they will be evaluated as to whether they can go into the intermediate class or continue again in the beginning course. Most kids are ready for intermediate Jujitsu after one or two 8 week sessions.

Prof. Janovich has been teaching Jujitsu to kids for 30 years. He has used his extensive experience to refine the kid's classes into something the kids not only enjoy... but get the finest techniques of self - defense anywhere!

For 34 years Prof. Janovich's teacher Prof. Kufferath taught kid's classes, from 1960 he taught at his Los Altos AkiJitsu Dojo and also from 1964 his Nikko Jujitsu School had a kids program taught by Sensei Fermin Urmeneta. In 1976 Prof. Kufferath turned over the Los Altos kid's program to Prof. Janovich, who had been assisting him with the kids since 1970.

Also in 1970 Prof. Kufferath began teaching for the Santa Clara Parks and Recreation department assisted by Prof. Janovich. Today these classes continue in an expanded format including beginning, intermediate and advanced. The kids can take tests and earn colored belts as they progress through Jujitsu

The tradition of experience, success and learning was passed down from Kufferath to Tony Janovich, the professor's number one student. The classes are run according criteria given to Prof. Janovich many years ago.

Put this tradition of experience sucess and learning to work for you!
