Sigung Darryl James
Chief Instructor
I’m Sigung Darryl James, Chief Instructor here at The James Martial Arts Academy.
As a certified Adriano Emperado-Kajukenbo, Thomas Mitose-Kosho-Ryu, and taught Krav Maga martial arts instructor, I have extensive experience training kids, adults, and women in self-defense, nothing is more satisfying than seeing them grow firsthand. But more important than the martial arts skills they will learn… is their personal development and life skills that will carry them through life. Because learning Kosho-Ryu & Kajukenbo is so much more than just kicking and punching and advancing in belt rank.
Martial arts will develop self-confidence, discipline, character, focus, and respect. With every class we teach, kids and adults grow in mind, body, and character.
That’s because martial arts provide instant positive feedback. They develop discipline and respect by learning to focus on the core moves. They can immediately see and feel a difference, making them destined to build confidence, self-awareness, and self-respect.
And, of course, every class is a ton of fun! This is why I love teaching martial arts to kids and adults in San Diego and now worldwide with our virtual classes, and why I know you and your child will enjoy training with us.
Why We Train With a Since of Urgency!
Unfortunately, the world is not always kind to us (children are bullied at school and playgrounds, road rage, etc.). Martial arts is one of those skills everyone should know. A prudent philosophy is it’s better to have the skillset and not use it, rather than need it and not have it.
Our Motto:
Respect all Men, Fear no Man,
Fight to Train, Train to Fight,
Fight to Win, Go for Broke
