From the reviews

My boys joined Busho Kai over two years ago. We originally signed up due to my youngest having behavior challenges at school. Right away he had positive changes and has received awards for citizenship and a whole new kid! My oldest has found his new passion and joined the competition team.

★★★★★ — Nicole, Dec 2025

Busho Kai has a wonderful martial arts program. I have two 8 year girls who have attended for 3 years and will continue to attend because this is like there second home. They have after school programs, summer camps, and training for competitions. My girls have learned to have respect, discipline, and self confidence.

★★★★★ — Paula, Dec 2021

This is a first class program. I visited 8 other karate programs in the Mansfield/Arlington area and this was by far the most clean, organized and professional of them all. If you want your child to learn respect, discipline, listening and to participate in a healthy atmosphere then this is the right choice.

★★★★★ — Kevin, Aug 2023

Busho Kai is an incredible place to learn karate! Our two children began lessons a couple years ago and we love it here! They teach self-disciple, respect, self-esteem and more. Busho Kai has made a huge difference in my children’s lives.

Your first Karate class at Busho Kai 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.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
