I have spent the better part of twenty years here at Busto's Martial Arts, and in that time, it has truly become so much more than just a place to train—it’s become my second home. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt the warmth and dedication from Shihan John and his team of instructors. They have consistently shown not only an impressive depth of knowledge, but also genuine enthusiasm and an unwavering commitment to helping every student grow in skill, confidence, and character. When I transitioned from another school, it became immediately clear how Busto's Martial Arts sets itself apart. The sense of community is imminent the moment you walk in: the excitement for class to start, students encouraging each other both on and off the mat, and instructors that pour their hearts into every lesson. The curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to challenge students at each stage of their development, while also providing a supportive and family-like atmosphere where everyone can thrive. I’ve had the privilege and honor of teaching at Busto’s for the past thirteen years, and it’s been incredible to witness the same excitement in our students’ eyes that I remember having when I first started. From grasping the concept of a new technique or earning a new stripe on their belt, celebrating these achievements has been the most rewarding part of my journey. It is in moments like these that remind me every day why I fell in love with martial arts in the first place. Through countless classes, belt tests, and seminars, Busto’s has remained a place of consistent growth and inspiration for me. The friendships I’ve forged here go beyond the studio walls; we’ve shared wins, supported each other through challenges, and celebrated milestones as a close-knit community. Whether you come looking for fitness, self-defense, or a transformative new path, you’ll find that and so much more at Busto’s Martial Arts. It is a place where respect, discipline, and passion converge, shaping not just skilled practitioners, but well-rounded individuals ready to tackle anything life throws at them.

My transformative karate journey began when i was 7 but ended abruptly at 9. I had move to a different country. I was away for 7 years and somethings at the studio changed like the layout of stuff and things looked a little smaller, but everything else was the same. The sense of discipline and respect in the dojo hadn’t changed one bit. The Instructors’ knowledge and patience made complex techniques accessible again, just like they did the first time. The experience has been life-changing, and I am grateful for the skills and values I have acquired being a student as well as a teacher now.

I started my martial arts journey when I was just 6 years old, training in Taekwondo. However, by the time I was around 14, I felt it was time for a change and decided to pursue American Kenpo. That’s when I found Bustos Martial Arts, and I’m so glad I did. From my very first class, it was clear that this studio was different. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and they made me feel like I belonged right away. Transitioning from Taekwondo to American Kenpo could have been intimidating, but the incredible instructors at Bustos Martial Arts made it seamless. Their passion for teaching and their support for every student’s individual growth inspired me. In fact, not long after joining, I was given the opportunity to become an instructor myself. This experience taught me so much—not just about martial arts but also about leadership, discipline, and personal development. Bustos Martial Arts is more than just a place to learn self-defense. It’s a community that fosters respect, focus, and perseverance. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, this is the perfect place to grow. I cannot recommend them enough!

I have spent a lot of time and I can say first hand it’s very warm and welcoming open to anyone that walks through their doors. After so many years of being a student at this great studio I have become a teacher. Everyone at Busto’s values your time and presence recognizing your needs.

Aside from learning the fundamentals to advanced techniques, the care and fun the team of Sempais Sensais, Renshis and Shihan John bring to the classes are so apparent when you watch the kids throughout their lessons. Although a group setting is the usual, each kid does in fact get individual attention to their form as they strive to reach their next belt. What makes Busto’s different is the attention I have seen applied to my own kids and to the other students, in and out of class. The care is genuine. And the students all shine on their own time.

My older son was a part of Busto’s martial arts for the last 5 years. They are one of the best in the community. Durning the pandemic, my son got the new belt which was held online and Shihan personally came to our house and delivered his new belt in the mail box. My son was so happy to see Shihan and his new belt. They also easily accommodate kids with special needs and teach them with patience. My younger son is still learning and he loves it!

My Review: Bustos Martial Arts - A Haven for Martial Artists As an adult purple belt at Bustos Martial Arts, I can confidently say that this dojo stands out as the epitome of excellence in martial arts training. Nestled in the heart of our community, Bustos Martial Arts isn't just a place to practice kicks and punches; it's a sanctuary where individuals of all ages and backgrounds come together to hone their skills, build resilience, and foster camaraderie. The hallmark of Bustos Martial Arts is its exceptional instructors. Led by Master John Busto himself, the team comprises seasoned martial artists who possess not only remarkable technical expertise but also an unwavering dedication to their students' growth. Under their guidance, I've witnessed my own journey from a novice white belt to a proficient purple belt, and I'm eagerly striving towards the ultimate goal of achieving a black belt. What sets Bustos Martial Arts apart is its commitment to holistic development. Yes, we train hard, refining our techniques and perfecting our forms. But beyond the physical aspect, Bustos Martial Arts instills values of discipline, respect, and perseverance. These aren't mere buzzwords here; they're the bedrock upon which our dojo's culture is built. Every session is not just a workout but a lesson in self-improvement, both on and off the mats. The sense of community at Bustos Martial Arts is palpable. From the moment you step through the doors, you're welcomed into a family of like-minded individuals who share a passion for martial arts. Whether we're sweating it out during sparring sessions or coming together to celebrate each other's achievements, there's an undeniable bond that transcends mere training partners. In conclusion, Bustos Martial Arts isn't just a dojo; it's a sanctuary where dreams are forged, limits are shattered, and bonds are forged. If you're seeking a place to cultivate not only your martial arts skills but also your character, look no further than Bustos Martial Arts. It's more than a training ground; it's a home away from home. Edit: I was promoted to Adult Blue Belt!! Can't Wait for my next Promotion (estimated in hopefully 4 months.) I, Matthew Scarpa, hereby give this Karate Dojo the 5 Star Award, which is the most honorable title ever.

The teachers do a fantastic job at helping teach focus and discipline, while also helping the keeps build their confidence and strength. We also had his 3rd birthday party here which was a huge success. All of the parents kept commenting how organized (and fun!) the party was!

Busto's is a fantastic place to learn and grow. I have been training here for nearly fifteen years, and the benefits go far beyond the exceptional martial arts experience. I have developed a valuable skill set, including confidence, discipline, the ability to commit to both short- and long-term goals, leadership, and much more. All are skills that I use every day, and ones that I will continue to use for a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful to Shihan John Busto and his staff for consistently going above and beyond to help me become the best version of myself, both as a martial artist and as a person.

Both my son and daughter have been training at Busto's Martial Arts for about 14 years. The skills they have learned from Shihan Busto and his staff will last them a lifetime. Martial arts in Bustos are much more than just self-defense and physical fitness. They are taught that with patience, hard work, confidence and determination they will achieve their goal. Whatever that goal is. I'm proud to have my kids wear the Busto Martial Arts belt.

Russell Kraner

I have been training under John Busto for over 25 years. Over that time, I have grown from a young student to a senior instructor. My training has had an incredibly positive effect on me throughout my life. As a child with ADHD, karate taught me discipline and self control while giving me an outlet for my energy. It was a vital part of managing my condition, allowing me to graduate valedictorian of my high school and go on to earn a Master's Degree in college. As an instructor, I learned communication skills that have been vital for my career outside of the studio. These soft skills have allowed me to progress towards new roles above and beyond the software development I learned in college. None of this would be possible without the amazing environment that Shihan Busto has cultivated over the last 30 years. It is difficult to reach your goals without the support of those around you. Busto’s Martial Arts provides a welcoming and supportive community where everyone can learn and progress at their own rate, working to be black belts both in and out of the studio. From the students to the instructors, Busto’s is one big family that encourages everyone to move forward step by step towards their goals. As a senior instructor, I work to give back to this community. From mentoring the junior instructors to passing along the lessons I have learned over the last 25 years to the students, I help Shihan Busto continue to make our students and community ever better year after year. I encourage everyone, from age 3 to adult, to come in and train at Busto’s Martial Arts. We offer an extensive curriculum, covering self defense, traditional forms, and live combat (ranging from standup and ground fighting to stick and knife fighting.) We have a friendly and experienced staff that works to give every student the encouragement and support they need to succeed.

Busto's is the bestos! Lame Dad humor aside, Busto's Martial Arts is a real-deal martial arts school. I've practiced there for about 7 years and couldn't be happier. Owner John has fostered an inclusive and supportive community of talented instructors, dedicated practitioners, and enthusiastic parents. Countless parents have joined after witnessing profound positive results in their children. Seminars with globally-recognized masters and grandmasters are offered several times per year, further allowing opportunities to expand one's horizons. Community businesses don't thrive for decades, as Busto's has, without doing something right! Whatever your goals are, Busto's can customize a program to help you achieve them!

The school also employs qualified instructors capable of teaching students of any age. Busto’s Martial Arts has been a fixture here for many years and for very good reason.

The owner John Busto personally watches over all of his instructors as well as students which makes for an excellent martial arts studio. Many of the children and teenagers have been with Shihan John Busto (His Title & is affectionately called Shihan John) for many years and have become through the instructor advancement program junior instructors and/or adult instructors depending on their age and rank, this kind of loyalty and dedication is very hard to find in today’s martial arts studios. I highly recommend all children to learn & train as well as adults at Busto’s Martial Arts Studio!’

Shihan John Busto isn't just our teacher he's our friend. My 2 son's and I have been studying at Busto's for more than 10 year's now and we love it!! I personally have been studying martial arts since I've been 15 ( I'm 49 now). Busto's martial arts isn't just learning karate it's becoming a better person. Improving yourself both mentally and physically. Shihan takes his time teaching you the applications of each technique and give you the freedom to explore beyond the technique. Adding your own ideas, so there's no limitations on what you're learning. Also besides learning Kenpo, Shihan teaches Shoot fighting, Kali, and Grappling. Having all of these other arts mixed in with Kenpo is truly amazing! I personally enjoy Kali. We give 5 stars ( if we could add more stars we definitely would). Definitely check out Busto's Martial Art's at any of his 3 schools.

My son, who is 6, has been going to Busto’s for close to a year now. I have been happy with the program and my sons progress within it. They reward of getting a stripe helps keep my son interested but they don’t just give them out, they are definitely earned; especially as the ranking of belts gets higher. My son is currently a half-purple belt (half stages of belts help with littler kids seeing their progress but are not recognized at competition level). My son really enjoys their camp days as well. We are also going to be having his birthday party here next month. The teachers are great with kids, and my son is definitely one of the more difficult ones.

Absolutely wonderful martial arts introduction for kids. My son generally stays away from physical activities, this is the only one he actually looks forward to attending. While kids train to overcome challenges in karate, parents can train on the challenges in the parking lot to become massively better at maneuvering their vehicles.

Awesome place to learn martial arts. It's more than a school it's more like family.

My son joined Busto's early this year. He was having an absolute blast and was so bummed when the pandemic shut everything down. We called the dojo earlier today and asked about their protocols and precautions with reopening. We felt confident in what they are doing and decided to try going back today and give it a test run. I am beyond happy that we did- I was very comfortable and we will confidently return regularly. My son it thrilled to finally be back there. I highly recommend Busto's. Please support a wonderful local business!

We have other martial arts studios closer to home, however, Busto's Martial Arts is friendly, professional, and the staff is amazing. I highly recommend giving them a shot.

Busto’s has an amazing staff! They are very professional, excellent with children and very skilled and knowledgeable in Kenpo. They have an accommodating schedule with many class days/times for all levels.

I can’t say enough good things about Busto’s. My son Joseph has been going to Busto’s since March and I am blown away by the commitment, professionalism and caring nature of the staff. My son loves going to karate and has grown so much since we began just a few months ago. He always has fun but learns so much each class. We love Busto’s and hope to be a part of the Busto’s family for years to come.

Bustos has been great for both our our kids! They love the classes and all of the teachers. The classes are always well staffed and the kids get lots of personal attention. We also did a Girl Scout activity with Bustos which was fabulous! Bustos is a community gem!

This is an amazing studio. Shihan Busto takes great care in the instruction that he provides. It’s quite clear how much he cares about the progression of his students. He’s created a great team of instructors. They collectively ensure that no student is left behind. I highly recommend this school.

I've been going to Busto's almost every week for more than a year now. I have fun and feel like I learn something new every time I go. Busto's provides good instructors and an environment that makes learning not only easy but fun also.

Both my daughter and I have trained elsewhere in different styles of martial arts but Busto's is the best by far! Individualized training based on ability is the standard here. Amazing curriculum that is clearly disseminated so you know exactly what you need to know in order to progress. Knowledgeable staff that teaches with care and laughter. Busto's has truly made martial arts fun again!

I cannot speak more highly of Busto’s Karate. Shihan Busto and his staff are all amazing people. We signed up our son for a trial at the end of April. He instantly fell in love with it and has become one of their most dedicated students. They may even see him a little too much . But seriously, it is all because of the people that work at Busto’s. They are all friendly, welcoming and willing to take the time to work with each student to get the best out of them. Each stripe received by the student is EARNED and it is that feeling of accomplishment that makes them want to strive for more. We tried a few different sports with my son, but he was not the most athletic and easily got discouraged. The change in his level of self-confidence since joining Busto’s has been unbelievable. He has also become more coordinated and is able to do things with ease that just a few months ago he struggled with. Far and away one of the best decisions we have made in our sons development. Busto’s is a no-pressure, fun filled experience all the while learning self-defense – it’s an absolute WIN!
