Budokai South is simply the best school for self-defensive training. Sensei Barry and his instructors are extremely knowledgeable. The school teaches traditional, authentic Ju Jitsu, something I would never thought I would find.



If you want to truly learn how to defend yourself, and not just do katas - but learn through realistic, hands-on teaching, then this is the best school to join.



Anyone who is serious about their martial arts training need not look any further than Budokai South.

Budoaki South is a reprieve for the aspiring martial artist! In modern times, one can feel inundated with sales pitches and "contracts" when looking for a dojo to study at. There are no such things at Budokai South. Start with simply looking at the school's website. There is a plethora of information regarding: the school's lineage, informative articles by the school's chief instructor (Sensei Barry), and curriculum available to the students. The instructors care about developing you towards your maximum potential. Since the teachers have extensive martial arts experience, they can relate to your position no matter what your skill level. Attention to detail is just one of the many characteristics that separates Budokai South from other modern schools as well. Also, the students make class enjoyable and worth coming to.

I've been attending this school for over a year now and the experience has been very rewarding. The head instructor is not just knowledgeable in the art, but also in teaching it to others. The senior students are all friendly and helpful. Students are held to a high standard and the instruction is geared toward improving and refining the practical application of the techniques. Attending is a lot of fun, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning jujitsu.

If you are in any way serious about learning a martial art, here are some facts about Budokai South which you should consider:



1) Budokai South has a safe and friendly atmosphere that is dedicated to serious, thorough, and personalized instruction for every student.



2) Budokai South has knowledgeable instructors, all of whom have a legitimate lineage tracing back centuries, which ensures that you aren’t being taught by frauds or weekend warriors.



3) Budokai South offers a diverse set of practical techniques, aimed to specifically deal with real-life attacks and situations.



4) Budokai South is a private school without contracts or hidden fees, guaranteeing that the school is looking out for each student’s education, not their wallet.



I challenge anyone to find a school in the region that can come close to matching any one of these qualities, let alone all of them. If you are looking for serious, legitimate martial arts, then you have no excuse in not taking the opportunity to apply to the school.

I never thought I would find a martial arts school in the area that is this authentic. Sensei Barry and his instructors are completely dedicated to perfecting self-defense through the arts of Jujitsu and Aiki-jujitsu. They provide the perfect balance of a fun learning environment and a traditional martial arts school.
