Way Of The R.A.V.E.N. Programs

Krav Maga is the central pillar of combat in The Way of the Raven Self Defense Academy. And in turn a foundational piece of the Cain Family Martial Science.

Many people feel vulnerable and wish they had a way to defend themselves if they end up in a dangerous situation. Becoming a personal student of R.A.V.E.N. Survival Tactics can help you shake feelings of vulnerability and believe in your ability to ward off an attack. Defending yourself and the family you love is a priority.

Money and personal belongings can be replaced, but people cannot. Studying Krav Maga and self-defense helps you learn to disarm an attacker and protect yourself and your family. You’ll carry yourself with strength and confidence when you can defend yourself.

Raven Cain, a devoted disciple of Takase Michio, the current heir of the Renshinkan school, recognizes the profound significance of Daito Ryu as the foundation of The Way of the Raven JuJutsu.

We are deeply privileged to serve as an authorized dojo in the techniques of Daito Ryu Aiki JuJutsu, under the direct guidance of Takase Sensei. Way of the Raven honors its roots of Matsuda Den Daito Ryu Aiki JuJutsu as well as Miyama Ryu Combat Jujutsu. The Way of the Raven style of JuJutsu may resemble MMA on occasion, transition into grappling at other times, and even mirror Samurai training in certain instances.

This comprehensive system encompasses a range of techniques, including kicking, striking, throwing, submitting, and weapon training, making it a modern survival system. The key area of The Way of the Raven style of JuJutsu is in the proprietary principles of attach, redirect, and control; the basis of joint locks, restraints, throws, and takedowns.

In Kempo as with all of The Way of the R.A.V.E.N. Martial Styles our purpose lies not in victory or defeat but in the perfection of one’s character.

Martial Arts and the Way of the Raven philosophy enhance one’s self-worth and develop character and maturity. This is instilled in all students, helping them find self-confidence and discipline, and putting them on a pathway to higher achievement outside the dojo. In essence, this is Transformational and Therapeutic training, like nothing else in the world.

The Way of the Raven Philosophy has been formulated with the purpose of guiding individuals towards awakening and transforming into Warrior Sages. And R.A.V.E.N. Kempo is just one of our martial disciplines leading students towards that path.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a dynamic and versatile combat sport that integrates various martial arts disciplines.

Including our JuJutsu, Kempo, Boxing, Krav Maga, programs and more. At Raven Self Defense Academy, we believe in the holistic development of our students, and our Adults MMA program offers a comprehensive approach to self-defense, fitness, and mental toughness. MMA provides a platform for practitioners to become well-rounded martial artists, mastering both striking and grappling techniques.

MMA training goes beyond simply learning techniques. It cultivates discipline, mental resilience, and a heightened sense of awareness. It’s not just a sport, it’s a lifestyle. That empowers individuals to face challenges with confidence, both inside and outside the training environment. MMA is a journey of self-discovery, pushing boundaries, and embracing a diverse range of skills.

Taught by women—for women.

R.A.V.E.N. women’s-only JuJutsu, a program grounded in Miyama Ryu Combat JuJutsu, offers a unique and empowering approach to self-defense and personal development. This martial art is particularly well-suited for women due to its focus on practical techniques and real-world applications.

RAVEN JuJutsu combines elements of traditional Japanese jujutsu with modern self-defense principles, ensuring that women receive effective and relevant training.
