ABOUT
SENSEI JA
Â
Ous! I’m a certified instructor and black belt in both VSK Jiujitsu under Doctor Abdul Azziz Muhammad and Shuri Ryu Karate under Master Daniel Muhammad. You may have seen me across social media. Today my martial arts content has reached millions of viewers around the world. I’ve had the privilege of teaching everyday people, youth, and even high-profile artists and celebrities, helping them build confidence, discipline, and real self-defense skills.

MY STORY
Â
My name is Jair Muhammad, and my journey in martial arts began long before I understood what it truly meant. I grew up in Chicago, and at just four years old, my mother and father put me into martial arts to give me structure, discipline, and a positive path. What started as something they wanted for me quickly became something I fell deeply in love with.
Over the years that love grew into a lifelong commitment. I went on to earn black belts in both VSK Jiujitsu and Shuri Ryu Karate... becoming a certified instructor and dedicated practitioner of the arts that shaped my character and direction. Martial arts taught me confidence, focus, emotional control, and the importance of protecting myself and the people I care about.
As I got older, I realized my purpose wasn’t just to train — it was to teach. My content and instruction have reached millions of people across social media, allowing me to inspire and educate others the same way martial arts transformed me as a child. From youth mentorship to seminars and online training, I’m committed to helping others unlock their potential through movement, discipline, and self-defense.
My mission is simple: to share the knowledge that changed my life, and to empower as many people as possible to protect theirs.
MY TEACHERS
Â
I would have nothing of value to offer you were it not for my teacher, Doctor Abdul Azziz Muhammad, formerly known as Grandmaster Anthony Muhammad, the founder of V.S.K. Jiujitsu. He is a 10th Degree Black Belt in Sanuces Ryu & Kumite Ryu Jiujitsu, and a 6th Degree Black Belt in Vee Jitsu Ryu Jiujitsu, representing decades of mastery, discipline, and dedication to the arts.
My father placed me under his tutelage at just four years old, and today I am honored to stand as one of his black belts. His influence shaped not only my technique, but my character, discipline, and purpose. Growing up Doc was always like a superhero to me, I always desired to mimic everything he did in hopes of just looking like him! I could not have asked God for a better teacher or example to follow.
Doctor Abdul Azziz Muhammad is respected around the world for his unparalleled knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of martial science. Yet what truly sets him apart is his humility, compassion, and his unwavering willingness to help and uplift anyone in need. His example is the foundation of everything I strive to teach.

All of the viral tournament fight clips you see of me, the speed, the timing, the ability?  I owe it all to this man right here. He is my teacher in Shuri Ryu Karate and the founder of Lions Paw Modern Martial Arts, Master Daniel Muhammad. He is a 4th Degree Black Belt in Shuri Ryu Karate and a 3rd Degree Black Belt in V.S.K. Jiujitsu under our teacher, Doctor Abdul Azziz Muhammad.
Master Daniel is the one who helped rekindle my love for the martial arts after I stepped away for a few years. I began training with him in 2022 and have been training under him ever since.
I appreciate him so much because he didn’t just take me in as a student — he took me in as a little brother, and he’s been there for me through trials and tribulations, guiding me with wisdom and genuine care.
I’m honored to be one of his black belts, and I can’t wait to share with you some of what he has deposited into me.Â
