It's been quite a few years since I trained here personally however my times at this particular dojo were some of my favorite memories when I first was coaching MMA and Brazilian jiu jitsu does samurai sword fighting in knife fighting skills that I learned have transitioned forward into all kinds of avenues down the road I will always be in awe of the dedication to their craft and style here at the school of Budo if you are in the area and you would like to try mixed martial arts or any of the listed styles here I highly recommend it

I went here a long time ago. Maybe back in '06 or '07? Back when it was still under construction. But it's honestly one of the best martial arts schools I've been too. Sensei Michael is such a great teacher, and great with kids too. If you're looking for a great environment to learn martial arts, look no further (seriously!!)!
