Ja Bolden was born and raised in New York City. He graduated from the Ohashiatsu program in December 2004 and started the Certified Ohashiatsu® Instructor training in April 2006. Ja has also been the Institute’s Registrar for three years and brings his enthusiasm for Ohashiatsu to his relationships with students and clients. Ja says that “spirit brought me to the Ohashi Institute.” Passionate about Oriental Martial and Healing Arts, he decided to start Ohashiatsu® to enhance his awareness and sensitivity of the body. Ohashiatsu® helped him to better understand the human being and movement in Martial Arts. Along with Ohashiatsu®, he is also training for his black belt in Karate and practices Qi-Gong. His goal is to combine his learning into a form that children can learn easily and spiritually digest.
