WELCOME

Jupiter Traditional Martial Arts in Jupiter, Florida has been offering high-quality training since 2008.  We are led by 7th Dan, Kyoshi Don Caponigro, and have over a dozen black belt level practitioners working out with us.

We focus on Matsubayashi Shorin-Ryu, but also study elements of Goju-Ryu, Shaolin Kung Fu, Aikido, Japanese Ju Jutsu, Shotokan and many other martial arts.

We do our best to "leave the ego at the door" and therefore can learn from each other at maximum capacity. 

DISCIPLINE

There are 18 katas, or forms, which we study in Matsubayashi Shorin-Ryu. They include:
 

  • Fukyugata Ichi and Ni
  • Naihanchi Shodan, Nidan, Sandan
  • Pinan Shodan, Nidan, Sandan, Yondan and Godan
  • Rohai, Passai, Ananku, Chinto, Gojushiho , Wanshu, Kusanku and  Wankan


With regular training and practice, one can expect to earn the invitation to test for black belt in 3-4 years. It is always up to the student and the amount they practice.

LOCATION

We are located at the Jupiter Community Center (behind the Jupiter Police Department), and practice in their dance room.  The address is:

Hours of Operation are Saturday mornings from 8:30 until 11 am and Monday evenings from 7 to 8:30 pm.

 

WOMEN'S SELF DEFENSE - NOT JUST ME! FOUNDATION

We are proud to help bring awareness and funding to the Not Just Me! Foundation, an organization designed to bring the humanity back into a person's life after they have been through an attack.  The training that we offer focusses on avoiding a conflict by practicing strong awareness skills.  However, when physical intervention is required, we teach in the areas of striking, improvised weaponry and situational self-defense (grabs, ground work, holds). In total, we have raised thousands of dollars and trained thousands of women since training in Jupiter.
