SCHOOL INFORMATION
The Creighton family has been teaching and participating in the martial arts for many
decades. Sensei Jim Creighton Sr., Sensei Jim Creighton Jr. and Sensei Paul Creighton
currently operate schools in New York and Atlanta, Ga. Combined the family holds seven
Black Belts in five different styles (Japanese Jujitsu, Goshin Jutsu, Tae Kwon Do, Judo and
Brazilian Jiujitsu under the world famous Renzo Gracie). We have a very strong passion for
the martial arts and strive to bring you a well rounded curriculum with modern applications.
Creighton Goshin Jutsu is a self-defense oriented martial art emphasizing the
interaction of the striking arts with the jujutsu arts. Self-defense oriented style means that
we place a very strong emphasis on techniques that can be used effectively in realistic
situations, as a means of protection. In order to achieve this, the major principles from
karate, muay thai, boxing, jujutsu and wrestling are blended together so that the techniques
from one will compliment the techniques from another. Each student will develop a wellrounded fighting style, so that they can defend themselves with confidence in all five ranges
of fighting. We place equal importance on each range so that you feel confident in each
one. The transition from one range to the next will become automatic, because you will
have trained the full circle of the martial arts.
We honor the past yet welcome the future so we may embrace the martial arts in
pursuit of self-mastery and boundless knowledge. We are always open to change, because
without change improvement would not exist. We focus on constant and never ending
improvement and embrace and apply infinite wisdom of others. This will allow philosophy,
art and science to blend together to not only train the body, but strengthen the mind and
soul.
TESTING PROCEDURES
At Creighton Goshin Jutsu, a student’s progress is measured by the awarding of
stripes and belt promotions. A “stripe” that is added to a student’s belt, signifies that the
student has moved a step closer to their next rank. Stripes are awarded between colored
belts and are used as a measurement of that student’s progression. A “promotion” to a new
belt color, signifies a completion of an entire set of curriculum and recognition of a student’s
increase in skill level.
There are five areas in which students must perform competently in order to be ready for
belt and they are listed below.
1. Knowledge of Curriculum – Students must know the entire curriculum necessary to
progress to the next level. Effort is rewarded more so at the beginning belt levels.
Greater technical proficiency is expected as students attain their higher belt ranks.
2. Spirit and Energy – Students are expected to perform their techniques with a high
degree of energy. “Kiai” and intensity of movement can demonstrate this.
3. Attitude and Protocol – Students should demonstrate a positive attitude and follow
the protocol of the school at all times.
4. Fitness –Students are expected to improve their fitness level as they progress
through the ranks. This can be demonstrated by performing the required movements
with good endurance.
5. Basics and Applications - Good basics are the foundation of a good Martial Artists;
therefore we expect students to perform basics competently at all belt levels.
We have both technique and class hour requirements that need to be fulfilled for each belt
rank.

BLACK BELT TESTING REQUIREMENTS
ATTITUDE
•
You must demonstrate and consistently portray a good positive attitude towards
yourself and others in and out of our school. Without the presence of a good attitude
at this school, your chances of achieving a Black Belt or any rank are non-existent.
“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his
goals; nothing on earth help the man with the wrong mental attitude”.
- W.W Ziege
ATTENDANCE
•
You must demonstrate consistent attendance throughout our program to be
recognized for this rank. Consistency and accomplishing small goals along the way
is your path to Black Belt at our school.
“Slow and steady wins the race”
- Aesop
PERFORMANCE
•
You must show proficient ability in blending and transitioning from technique to
technique while training. The measurement of performance is different for each
individual. Consistently improving from day to day, month to month and rank to rank
is what you must strive for.
“Those who confront the ill-prepared with preparation will stand victorious.”
- Sun Tsu
KNOWLEDGE
•
You must be able to demonstrate and understand all of the techniques in our
manual. However, knowing how to only “demonstrate” each technique is not the
goal. You must also understand and have studied each technique thoroughly to
qualify for this rank.
“It’s impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.”
- Epictetus
