About Your Instructor
For the past 13 years, Sensei Richard Carr has dedicated his life to the training of Dan Zan Ryu Jujitsu mixed with personal touches in street survival self defense from Sensei Jamie Dyson, who has over 35 years of training.

Sensei Carr's personal goal has been to gain a pure knowledge of the art of Jujitsu and the anatomy of self defense and to empower those who have been powerless. He has spent the last several years focused on Women's Survival Self Defense and the structuring of practical self defense programs for children.


Our purpose at ReLIONce Self Defense is to bring an awareness of Jujitsu to those who have stayed away from the study of martial arts due to some of the Eastern philosophies taught in most traditional martial art forms today. Sensei Carr has structured programs based on the teachings of Sensei Dyson which utilizes concepts such as Push-Pull, CBS (Control, Balance, Submit) and the Analysis of Gravity Based Self Defense.
