One of the oldest traditions at Notre Dame.
The Notre Dame Martial Arts Institute, or NDMAI, is one of the longest running student clubs on campus.
For over 40 years now, we have been instructing and promoting students in Cooper-Ryu Veejitsu-te, emphasizing the unique techniques and applications of Vee Jitsu Ryu Jujitsu (a Japanese, street self-defense style of jujitsu founded by Professor Vee) and Chung Do Kwan Tae Kwon Do. The combination of these two arts in Cooper Ryu allows students to develop skills in a traditional and practical martial art style, learn crucial self-defense, and have a lot of fun!
