I went here these Sensis’ are great. Great instructions, drills, and clearly wants us to be the best we can be. Ever since I’ve left I was thinking about it 24/7. Give it a try it’s worth it they will treat you kindly!
It started with signing my son up for karate and starting his martial arts journey. It has been so good for him from the inside out! Now I train here and love it! The instructors and all the staff make up a fantastic community for kids and adults to train to be the best they can be. I highly recommend!
This is our third and final dojo, and after two and a half years at Bob Aldis Bushido Martial Arts, I can honestly say it’s been an incredible journey. The atmosphere here truly has that “family” feel—welcoming, supportive, and respectful from day one.
The dojo is always clean, well-organized, and professionally run. There are multiple skilled senseis to train with, each bringing their own strengths and perspectives, which keeps the learning dynamic and engaging. One of the things that really sets this place apart is the access to free private lessons—an amazing bonus that shows how much they care about each student’s growth.
We’re so grateful to have found this dojo. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality martial arts training in a positive, community-driven environment.
My son has been a member of Bob Aldis' Bushido Martial Arts for several years and is currently working toward his black belt. After visiting several dojos, this was the one he chose—and it was absolutely the right decision. The dojo is a warm, welcoming place with an incredible sense of community. The senseis are amazing—dedicated, knowledgeable, and always willing to take the time or go the extra mile to support each student.
The growth we've seen in our son has been truly inspiring. Beyond learning to defend himself, his confidence has soared, and that confidence has carried over into all areas of his life. The student creed is something everyone could benefit from living by, and the Seven Qualities of Black Belt Character that form the dojo crest are values that should be at the core of everyone's moral character.
We are so thankful to be part of the Bushido family!
This dojo is absolutely amazing!!!! Not only is martial arts taught but, life skills as well. The instructors teach physical and mental strength. Our daughter has flourished and grown throughout her martial arts journey and looks forward to training each and every week.
We looks forward to many more years of watching her train.
I've been training here for years. Friendly, supportive atmosphere with very knowledgeable instructors who focus as much on personal growth and character as they do on teaching self defense.
I have been attending for eight years. 100% recommend for anyone looking to begin their martial arts training!
Our experience at Bob Aldis' Bushido Martial Arts has been nothing short of transformative for our children. In just the past year, we've seen an incredible improvement in their respect and listening skills – it's truly remarkable how much they've grown up.
The instructors here are absolutely amazing with the children. Sensei, Gered, Dunkin, and Eve have a remarkable way of teaching the principles of Bushido, fostering discipline and character in a supportive and engaging environment. Beyond those mentioned, every single sensei at Bushido Martial Arts is fantastic, demonstrating patience, expertise, and a genuine passion for guiding young students.
Thank you, Sensei Bob, for assembling such an outstanding team. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact Bushido Martial Arts has had on our children's development
This is a great place to get your child started in Martial Arts. Our son was 6 when he started. Sensei Bob and staff are very kind and welcoming. Sensei Bob also does a great job of balancing fun and discipline, which is difficult with kids these days. They are taught more than kicking and punching, they are also taught things like respect, courtesy and self confidence. You will do your child a disservice in life if you do not start them in this program!
My son recently started classes here and absolutely loves it ! The instructors wonderful and offer the guidance and special attention new students need ! I would highly recommend !!
One of the best martial artist schools in the state their birthday package is amazing and there culture and teaching of martial arts is second to none I would recommend anybody who wants their child to have self control and discipline to enroll here
This place is the best. Super clean. Very friendly. We did our sons birthday party here and it was extremely successful. The kids had a great time. The staff was extremely kind. I can’t recommend this place enough!
Going to this dojo and meeting such fine people (instructors and students alike) has been some of the finest training experiences of my life. The sensei are friendly and very accomodating. I travel nearly 3 hours one way to this dojo to have the privilege of training and learning from these fine people.
I grew up with a martial arts background, so I wanted my children to have the same. We came here about a year ago and not only does my oldest love it, the next two want to start. They have a very disciplined program and great sensei's.
The best thing for your kids in this mess we all are experiencing these days..
I have been attending for eight years. 100% recomend for anyone looking to begin their martial arts training!
Love this place! My son Ryker is learning respect, along with fine motor skills and discipline. We are 5 months in, and cannot wait to see what comes next.
We absolutely love going to this dojo! Sensei Bob is amazing as well as the girls who teach class. I dont have anything bad to say about this place or anyone there. My 4 year old loves going and is doing great with their guidance and support.
I think the school is very professional and traditional at the same time. Actually I would call it an academy! From start thru black belt and beyond the academy is very thorough and produces superior students than almost all the schools I’ve experienced. As far as a recommendation, just keep doing what your doing !
Great way to teach responsibility and respect and to be able to learn self defense. They have a great group of senseis that are good with the kids and adults.
We love it here!! They care so much about your child being successful and are so accommodating. They teach life skills as well like respect, control, discipline. I definitely recommend them!!
My daughter has been going here for months now. She has already learned so much. The instructors are all great with kids. She was already a good kid but I can’t believe how much more respectful she has become. Her ability to focus and learn new things has had great improvements as well. Big thank you to Sensei Bob and all staff!
