Welcome to Our Dojo
The Jundokan Martial Arts Academy
Named after the famed "Jundokan" in Japan, the Academy was started to honor an ancient tradition. The time honored tradition of teaching, and passing on to the next generation, the arts that were patiently and skillfully taught over many years.
Our Dojo is located in Ray Brook, NY on Route 86 ( between the beautiful Olympic town of Lake Placid and the best little city in the Adirondacks, Saranac Lake ).
The Jundokan Martial Arts Academy teaches a mixed martial arts (MMA) style that incorporates many styles for their effectiveness in all situations of martial combat. This effectiveness shall be tested from time to time in competition.
Ultimately, martial arts is not at all about fighting. The ideal of the martial arts is to cultivate noble character and conduct, the virtues of modesty and courtesy.
No forestalling in the martial arts. Martial Art is the military art of self-defence and used to protect and preserve ones life and not to attack others of your own initiative.
Perserverance is the root of all conduct. True patience lies in bearing what is unbearable.
"Put back your hand when you are full of fight and retract your fight when your hands itch to deal a blow."
The ultimate object of human beings should be co-existence and co-prosperity in peace. All human actions, softness, and strength, should be united into peace. Avoid the fights and quarrels even if you were dared to.
By living the Martial Way you will never fail in life.
It will make you wise, confident, courageous, patient, a leader, modest, humble, courteous, independent, and in control of your life.
We wish you peace and prosperity and hope you enjoy our
website. Please feel free to contact us and let us know what you think or ask us questions?

What Are Martial Arts?A Martial Art
can be defined as a system of techniques - physical and
mental exercises developed as a successful means for
self-defense, both armed and unarmed.
Techniques,
skills and abilities that are martial in nature but do
not benefit the practitioner and their community are
generally not considered martial arts. Mutual benefit
must be a component. Martial arts utilize a variety of
combat methods. Some fighting styles emphasize
weaponless techniques while others teach the use of
weapons. Some styles focus on grappling while others put
their emphasis on striking. Weaponless systems use hand,
arm, foot, shin, and knee striking and blocking
techniques. Some weapons that may be used are the staff,
sword, knife, dagger and nunchaku.
Not all forms
of self-defense are actually considered to be martial
arts. Some argue that unless warriors were using a
fighting system in actual combat, it was not truly a
martial art. Additionally, there is a difference between
martial art and martial sport; the sport application of
a combat system is not a martial art. Not all activities
designated as martial arts are martial or artistic.
While some
developed from warrior combat, other martial arts
developed as a means for spiritual and physical
development. Strictly defined, martial arts are
combat arts, methods for killing an opponent in battle.
Martial ways, or, those arts that have a spiritual
component, go beyond combat effectiveness and speak to psychological and/or spiritual survival.
Today, the martial arts are practiced for health
and fitness, sport, law enforcement, spiritual benefits
as well as for self-defense.
