35+ YEARS OF TECHNICAL MASTERY IN NEWMARKET

Martial arts is not a commodity; it is a lineage. Jitsu-Do was founded by Shihan Michael Ginn, a practitioner with over 35+ years of dedicated experience in the evolution of combat science.

After decades of training and instruction, Shihan Ginn recognized that the traditional martial arts landscape was often cluttered with 'fluff' and outdated methods. He founded Jitsu-Do as a Technical Lab in Newmarket—a space where the structural power of Chito-Ryu Karate and the ground-truth efficiency of Gracie Humaita Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) are integrated into a single, high-standard curriculum.

Shihan Michael Ginn is a 4th Degree Black belt in Jitsu-Do Karate and a Brown belt In Gracie Humaita Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

A LABORATORY FOR CAPABILITY.

We don’t believe in 'factory' martial arts. At Jitsu-Do, every movement is scrutinized through the lens of biomechanics and safety.

Our mission is to provide the Newmarket community with a training environment that prioritizes the 'how' and 'why' over the 'what.' We serve the adult professional who needs to stay safe for their career, and the youth student who needs a scaffold for a disciplined life. At our core, we are committed to the pursuit of technical mastery and the management of pressure.

This isn't a hobby—it's a scaffold for a more disciplined life.
