My daughter started at Budokai when she was 5 y.o, she was scared and afraid at the beginning, but now she is 6 y.o confident, stronger and eager to participate in all the classes to achieve the next level, and having fun! I highly recommend Budokai for their skilled ninja instructors, ethics and kindness with everyone. They make the difference for children to reach excellence. I think martial arts, like this, should be mandatory for all children in every school in US. My husband and I are very pleased with the children program, and grateful for Budokai 🙌🏻 🥷❤️
My six year old daughter is taking classes, they are excellent teaching them.
This place is the best. I couldn't be where I am without the discipline, confidence and progress I've made here. Mike, Jess, and Josh have become a family I am going to always hold onto. This is my home.
Very good staff, training and exercise equipment. Martial arts upstairs. Exercise equipment on the first floor.
This is the most welcoming community I've found by far. I would recommend it to people that aren't even that interested in martial arts. There is more than just the fight they teach, they also teach self confidence and self belief which has done me and many who have joined the community a lot of good. If you are shy and don't really believe in yourself I highly recommend this Dojo!
Our 8-year old son loves taking classes at Budokai! He has so much fun learning and progressing in his skills, and the teachers are absolutely wonderful. As an added bonus, we as parents love the values that Budokai teaches the students. We have the Student Creed and Code of Mindful Action hanging on the wall in our kitchen as a daily reminder for the whole family!
Absolutely a wonderful time and experience! Instructors Mike, Sandy, and Jon are the rarest of rare breed of people. They are incredible at helping people to attain personal growth mentally, emotionally and physically. Their approach to training and teaching everyone regardless of what stage in life you are at is unmatched. I have first hand seen them train young children/ninjas and watched some of them grow into outstanding young adults and even some adults now. I would strongly encourage at least trying the place out! To them you are not just another number, you become part of the family!
Budokai Martial Arts is a excellent dojo. I have studied Shuri-te kenpo jitsu and Hapkido in the past and even though Aiki Ninjitsu is different and I have to slow down and concentrate on the differences the staff are always willing to help me figure it out. And I love my martial arts brothers and sisters, they make me feel wanted and part of the Budokai Martial Family. I highly recommend this dojo.
I absolutely love this place! All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and work with you to achieve your goals. I really can't say enough good about this school. Very fortunate to have found Budokai martial arts.
Full gym with everything a person could want, except showers. 24 hour memberships available too!
My husband and daughter have been doing Martial Arts here for several years. Mike, Sandy and their team of instructors are amazing. They really take such pride and care with everything they do. They strive to see people learn and grow with such an awesome team of people. I highly recommend trying a class if you are on the fence about it. Having access to the gym is also a huge bonus. Clean, friendly, perfect size. They have all the machines you need and more. We love it!
Great place to exercise. Friendly people, good atmosphere and lots of free weights!
If you're looking for a martial arts dojo that's fun, guided, and hosted by knowledgeable people more than happy to help you advance. Look no further than Budokai Martial Arts. This dojo is also joined at the hip with Mad-Fit gym and when you pay for a membership, you also get a free gym membership. Every belt level is guided by experts and all the other upper level belts will help you earn your stripes. I've been with Budokai a month now and I haven't had a bad class.
Was a great first workout after the shutdown, gym is in beautiful shape and everyone is respecting the new rules. Thanks Mike and the team.!!!!!!!
Amazing instruction. Fantastic staff from the gym just below. The instructors have years and years of experience ranging in various martial arts, self defense and weapons employment. Learn at your own pace with small classes and somewhat often a one on one instruction.
From the first day my daughter and I started classes it felt like we had known everyone forever . Everyone is very friendly and helpful. No one is looked down on or treated different because they are a lower ranking belt. Every instructor as well as every student is amazing . It's like one big family. Everyone is made to feel welcome. I highly recommend checking them out, you will wish you would have done it sooner. It's a great way to learn a new art, defend yourself, and get a good workout.
The Instructor is a pretty awesome Human being the approach of instruction is very structured and uplifting reaffirming and done with the up most positive re assurance
Great place to train great for my health and self esteem.
Awesome school for martial arts! It is a great place to learn how to adequately defend yourself and have fun while doing it. Awesome teachers!
I've trained in martial arts for 12 years and this is the most fun I've ever had. My instructors are knowledgeable and do a fantastic job of preserving the traditional forms and showing how excellent ninjutsu is for self defense even hundreds of years after it was created. My teachers are pumped for class every time I've gone and the excitement carries over to our whole class. One day we're learning sword play and the next we're defending ourselves against firearms. This is a complete martial art and I'm already looking forward to my next class. You guys are awesome!
If you are looking for a new path for your child or yourself, Budokai Martial Arts could be just the answer. My grandson has been part of the Budokai Dojo for several months now and it has been the best thing for him. Through these months he has learned not only the many skills and techniques to achieve his stripes and obtain his yellow belt, he has gained self confidence, achieved better coordination, become more physically fit and learned that mistakes are not failures but an opportunity to learn and better oneself. Mike and all the wonderful instructors and helpers have put together a program that teaches in a warm , loving and highly positive atmosphere where success is measured in the tiniest steps when necessary. This leaves no room for failure or self doubt, just a steady progression forward and feeling good about each individual success. This program touches all aspects of their life, be it school, bullies, responsibility, etc. instilling the life skills we want our children to carry with them into adulthood. So if you are seeking a new extremely positive path for your child, yourself or someone you know, give Budokai Martial Arts a try. It has been so very good in so many ways for my grandson.
My thing is this it’s not effective to even defend myself trust me I tried 80 percent of street fights or any other fight goes to the ground and 60 percent of most people know the basic of boxing so why not learn the real basics like wrestling or boxing Cody stevens Wolverine gym teaches real fighting techniques because I’ve been to different gyms if you really want to defend yourself learn something effective
