Man Maru International Martial Arts Association
"Returning to the Origins"

Man Maru International Martial Arts Association is a tradtional martial arts association founded by Dr. Jim Washington and Dr. Jim Grubb designed to promote and teach traditional martial arts techniques for modern day self defense. Man Maru is a three phase combative fighting system. When Man Maru is translated, it means, "full circle" or "returning to the origins" of Ju-Jitsu. Our goal is to bring the arts back to their original purpose - preservation of the individual. We do not stress tournament participation but many in Man Maru choose to compete. While we have many in our association who do compete in tournaments, our main objective is to teach the tried and true ancient ways for self defense and self preservation. Man Maru International Martial Arts Association Mission Statement
