From the reviews
If I could give more than five stars, I would. Been with this location for four years now and I find the staff to be extremely knowledgeable, caring and respectful.
Updated: my children are now 17 and 13. They are both black belts. Their instructors have guided and mentored them from white belts to black, instilling character (integrity, honor, perseverance, respect, courtesy), leadership, discipline and sportsmanship through every hour of training.
My son has been attending Bushi Ban for 6 years and he absolutely loves it. He started by going to the after school program wherethey picked him up from school, gave him a snack, had homework time and complete his martial arts class.
They do a tremendous job working with people of all ages. Really well-rounded, fun instructions in various martial arts, self-defense techniques, training in cardio, and teaching discipline and leadership (so important for kids). All the instructors really care and want students to have fun and learn.
New to Karate? Start at Bushi Ban Martial Arts & Fitness
Bushi Ban Martial Arts & Fitness comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Bushi Ban Martial Arts & Fitness
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
