About Us
se Confident Leaders
We help parents raise confident leaders and adults reach their true potential. Since 2007, Delaware Judo & Ju-Jitsu Association (DJJA) has provided its members with a road map to success based on self-defense, confidence and goal-setting skills.
Delaware Judo & Ju-Jitsu Association (DJJA) is a martial arts school located in New Castle, DE, that offers training in Judo and Ju-Jitsu for children and adults. Founded in 2007 by Sensei Alexander Velazquez, the organization provides detailed instruction in traditional Japanese martial arts, focusing on technique, mental focus, and personal growth. DJJA emphasizes realistic self-defense techniques, including punches, kicks, throws, joint locks, and ground fighting, while maintaining safety through required protective gear like mouthguards and headgear with face shields.
Delaware Judo & Ju-Jitsu Association is a member of the United States Judo Association (USJA) and the United States Ju-Jitsu Federation (USJJF) ensuring high standards for belt progression and training quality.
The Delaware Judo & Ju-Jitsu Association dojo is in a top-tier Community Center located at the Brandywine Town Center featuring five (5) roll out mat system by Century Martial Arts. We utilize this type of mat to better ensure the safety of our students along with crash mats to safely perform more dynamic throws (Nage Waza).
The Curriculum and Training at Delaware Judo & Ju-Jitsu Association is supervised by Owner/Head Instructor, Alexander Velazquez, 5th Degree Black Belt, who has over 50 years of combined martial arts experience.
As a United States Judo Association affiliate, Velazquez Sensei must submit and maintain a background check required for all Black Belt (Dan) ranks via the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOC) Online Screening Site. The background check is conducted by the National Center for Safety Initiatives, LLC (NCSI). In addition, Velazquez Sensei must maintain a current Heads-Up and SafeSport online certification which is also required for Dan ranks.
Weekly classes are conducted by Velazquez Sensei whose goal is to provide you with a challenging but safe learning opportunity. You can be sure that your training experience here will be one of the best available anywhere!
