The Black Tiger Karate & Aiki Ju-jitsu training programs & Kuro Dojo, were both started by Professor Marc Knox, and are an entity of The Dynamic University School of Martial Arts Science and Self Defense (aka The Dynamic U). Professor Knox is master sensei and his training sessions are currently held in New Haven, CT at the Dynamic U Dojo, Farnam, New Haven Parks & Rec, YMCA, and The Boys & Girls Club. Professor Knox teaches the “Aiki Ju-jitsu” system of self-defense, which is an integration of the Japanese martial arts of Shotokan karate, ju-jitsu, and aikido. Lessons are also taught on Gracie jiu-Jitsu self-defense techniques. The core principals taught and practiced are respect, courage, focus, leadership, confidence, self-discipline, physical fitness, and a positive environment.
As a school, we base the application of our system on scientific facts, practical application, and "real-world" experience. We constantly look for ways to improve our techniques to combat the ever-changing world of martial arts. Our goal is NOT ONLY to successfully teach our system of self defense to all students who seek it, but also to have each student interject one’s own personality and character into what they learn, creating a Dynamic “YOU”.
