“Goyshn Ryu Seif JuJutsu is a complete physical and mental system created by Sifu Samir Seif. Physically, GRSJJ teaches every aspect of combat. From the way of the warrior Muay Tai, American Boxing, Wing Chun, Greco Roman Wrestling, clinching, Judo, Wrestling, Jujitsu. On top of all the drilling and training, body conditioning is one of the most important aspects of GRSJJ. Building confidence, respecting fellow students/friends and creating a quality person in society are just a few benefits that GRSJJ will help you achieve. Sifu’s historic knowledge and tradition of past disciplines and masters has always allowed his students to appreciate and respect all aspects of what makes the total system of GRSJJ. After training under Sifu for over 14 years I have always been amazed how updated he is with new drills, new techniques, meaning after all his knowledge and years of training he is always trying to improve his technical and teaching skills.”
