The Jobu Shin Kan --School
of Strong Martial Spirit-- in Eureka,
CA began in the garage of Professor
Dennis Estes in 1987. One year later, the dojo moved into a historic
building in Old Town Eureka where it thrived for 18 years before the location
was lost to fire on December 8th 2006. On January 2nd 2007, the Jobu Shin Kan re-opened at 205 Fourth Street in downtown Eureka.

Sensei Jon Sylvia took over stewardship of the dojo in 2003. A lifelong Judo wrestler and Jujitsu
practitioner, Sensei holds a nationally recognized 4th degree black belt in
Danzan Ryu Jujitsu. In addition to running the Jobu Shin Kan,
Sensei Sylvia teaches police tactics courses for the local police adademy.
Jobu Shin Kan
is a family-run, community-oriented traditional martial arts school dedicated
to positive cultivation of character through the study of Danzan Ryu Jujitsu.
Our purpose is to provide a healthy and safe atmosphere to support the physical
and mental growth of our students in their all-around pursuit of excellence.
To ensure excellence, we are committed to the Philosophies of
Jujitsu and the Esoteric Principles as handed down by Master Okazaki.
We currently have about 50 students attending the Jobu Shin Kan.
We welcome all ages, all sizes, and all body types. Our school is family
oriented and encourages families to learn together under a special family rate.
