About Me
I was born 1977, my dad Jens Jensen was one of the founders of Esbjerg Jiu-Jitsu Klub (in Danmark, EU). He been training Martial arts for more then 10 years and did inspire me to start training Martial Arts when i became older. Besides Jiu-Jitsu, my dad did also train Okinawan Shuri Ryu Karate with Vitus Bilking in Esbjerg Karate Klub.
When i became 17 years old (in 1994), i started training Okinawan Shuri Ryu Karate (My teachers where at first Ole and later on Brian), i keept training that for a year until i did meet some Ju-Jutsu (it was a mix of Karate, Judo and Aikido) guys on a workshop i was at and i liked their style a lot better at the time, since it had not just standing fighting. But there was just as much focus on grappling and ground fight, my teacher within Ju-Jutsu was Carsten Ettrup (5 x Danish Champ and Vice World Champ). I did train as much as possible at the time, every time they had a class i would join it, so i was there nearly every day. I did train for around 4 years or more there…..
When i stopped with Ju-Jutsu, i tried some Full Contact Kick-boxing. I tried to start a training group in Esbjerg under Claus Dalton (Scandinavian Champ) KFC-Kick Boxing and to make sure that i could keep up with his requirements, i did also at the same time cross-train at a local Thai-Boxing School.
I earned a Green Belt (around half way to BB) within KFC-Boxing under Claus Dalton….
Then i decided i wanted something more streetwise (and not so much sports), so i made my training group into a Bujinkan training group. I did train many years within Bujinkan under guys like Flemming Wenzel (head of Shadow Warrior Danmark, Full Contact Ninjutsu), Jesper Lundqvist (head of Ninjutsu Danmark), but the one who did teach me most was Jim Karstensen 4 dan. (RIP). Since he moved to Esbjerg (my home town in Denmark) and was teaching me there….
I did earn a rank of 5 Kyu within Bujinkan (Green Belt), all my instructors within Bujinkan where direct students of Soke Hatsumi…..
When i was training in Bujinkan under Jim Karstensen, then i did also run a local tv station, which would broadcast our training (shows) out to all of Esbjerg City. I used a Linux Server to broadcast with and been told that the setup i made was one of a kind….
Currently i live in the Philippines and have been living here for several years now…
I got my Master 1 Degree Black Belt under Master Jhun Dacayana in the Dacayana Eskrima System which i got down here in Cebu City and i am at instructor level within the Villasin Balintawak Style, i was a direct student of Grandmaster John Villasin (the son of FMA legend GGM. Atty. Jose Villasin). GM. John Villasin does not hand out certificates, but just tells the student that he is at instructor level.
Besides above i have also been on several course within Qi-Gong/Chi-Gong, Yoga, meditation, healing and i have taken a VPG (in DK.), a advanced first aid class (30 hours, in DK.) and been on a Instructor Course on Gerlev Sports School (DK.).

Hi Kim,
Thanks for your comment…..


What i teach is a mix of FMA/Eskrima and parts my background within other styles like Bujinkan (Ninjutsu), Ju-Jutsu (mix of Aikido, Judo and Karate) and Thai/Kick-Boxing….
I try to keep it as Streetwise as possible, but also let my students have the option try tournaments within Eskrima/Arnis, Grappling, Kick/Striking or MMA if they like….
We include Sparring with the Empty hand and groundfighting, Eskrima Stick (Villasin Style), Knife vs. Knife (with NOK Knifes) and Empty hand vs. Knife to give the training aliveness….
Thats where we “test” our techniques (the technique training) in the Sparring…..
Besides that we also have a lot about meditation and the mind (from Ninjutsu), in my training and some special weapons from Bujinkan (Ninjutsu)…..
We of course would be happy to welcome you as a new member, so if you like to join our training, i would suggest you e-mail me and we could find a day and time that works for both of us…..
PS. I teach all of my own students for free and there is no reqiurements…..
Sincerly yours,
Jan
