ChunJiDo is a unique collaboration of three arts: Kempo, Jujitsu and Taekwondo. The philosophy of ChunJiDo incorporates the most useful techniques of each of these traditional arts to comprise a system that instills the honor and integrity of traditional arts, with the confidence of reality defense in its practitioners. Recognized across the United States and in Europe, ChunJiDo is a growing art that provides opportunity for all ages to practice and enjoy the Martial Arts.

Kempo is a system of Karate that utilizes strong hand techniques with multiple strikes to vital areas. Its origin is believed to have developed from the Shaolin temples in China and was commonly referred to as "Chinese Hand."

Jujitsu is a Japanese Art known as the "Gentle Art." Jujitsu is comprised of joint locks and throwing techniques for close quarter self-defense, and even though it is a very ancient art it is still known as one of the most effective self-defense systems in Martial Arts.

Taekwondo, which translates as "The Way of the Hand and Foot," is a fairly modern Korean Martial Art that is comprised of powerful hand techniques with dynamic kicks. Taekwondo promotes excellent conditioning and flexibility.
