Biography - Sensei Jamie Rickard


I first dabbled in martial arts as a kid but is was not until 1998 that I seriously started along my martial arts path. It was then that I joined the Jiu-jitsu program at the Academy of Martial Arts, the same club that I now teach out of.

I studied Goju Jiu-jitsu Ryu and grappling with heavy emphasis on grappling. My Sensei at the time soon left the Academy of Martial arts to open his own dojo and I of course followed.

As time passed I found the class times harder and harder to attend ... getting married and having children tends to do that. So I started looking for other dojos to train out of that would fit better into my lifestyle and schedule. I found little in the Kingston area that had everything that I wanted, traditional Jiu-jitsu, grappling and the right times. So I decided to start my own club and now I’ve come full circle, I now instruct out of the same dojo that I began my martial arts journey in.

During my search for a dojo / organization to train with I met a member of Jukoshin Ryu International. I attended several classes in Ottawa and liked what I saw and have been a part of the Jukoshin Jiu-jitsu family ever since.

Mission Statement

“My goal is to provide comfortable and fun environment to train in that will allow all students, regardless of age, ability or physical fitness level to:

  • Achieve their personal goals
  • Improve their understanding of martial arts and the techniques within
  • Improve their physical fitness level


    • I try to make each class fun for my students. If my students don’t enjoy themselves, they likely will not return for further classes. If they don’t return for further classes, they will never be able to achieve the items that I have listed in my mission statement above.
