Bushikan Karate Dojo

I took a great class here to learn some self defense after hearing great things about their sensei. I LOVED this dojo! Everyone was super kind and helpful. I’ve taken a couple of other classes but they all just didn’t seem to care about actually helping you learn the best way to defend yourself personally, just «here are the same 3 moves we teach everyone» like they were just doing the class because they and to for community service hours and moved on.
It was the complete opposite here! I felt they really cared about helping me learn to protect myself, they took the time to talk to me individually, what my strong and weaker points are, where my comfort level is, what I’m worried about, etc. I talked to a lot of the members of the dojo and they had all been there for a long time, clearly had worked their way through the training and loved it. A few of them even gave me some advice on some books I might want to read on Bushikan!
Overall I felt so respected by everyone here, this is what a dojo should be, not just people teaching a class for an hour because they have to. They really care about the martial arts and about the people learning it here. Everything I heard about them was absolutely correct; what wonderful people! And their sensei was so kind and patient with me; I will absolutely go back and would recommend to anyone that they give this dojo a try! I feel like I actually learned something here about self defense and feel stronger since going to their class.

We love this dojo! My entire family joined years ago. Sensei has instilled the value of respect in my children. We couldn’t be happier and highly reccommend this dojo.
