About Hartford Academy of Martial Arts
Discover the heart and soul of our martial arts community in Hartford, Connecticut. We are more than just a dojo; we are a supportive environment dedicated to betterment through the practice of martial arts.
Our Inspiration
After dedicating nearly 30 years to the study of martial arts and achieving the rank of "Master" with a 4th Degree Black Belt under the esteemed Head Instructor Soke Dr. Joe Jones, founder of Jo-Ryu Jujitsu, it was time to give back. Hartford Academy of Martial Arts was born from a desire to share this wealth of knowledge and experience with the community that shaped us.
Our Guiding Principles
At the core of Jo-Ryu Jujitsu, and thus Hartford Academy of Martial Arts, are the principles of Simplicity, Creativity, and Fluidity. These pillars form the foundation for our motto: "Each one... Teach one." We believe that knowledge grows in value when it is shared. Through hard work, diligent training, and healthy competition, our students develop invaluable self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-discipline.
