Experience Classical Budo Taijutsu

Budo Taijutsu is a traditional Japanese martial art that draws on techniques from Japan’s historical warrior schools. The training methods we teach are based on nine martial traditions, some of which have been passed down for centuries. The principles you’ll learn are not only practical but are also grounded in the wisdom of these ancient practices, offering a holistic approach to self-defense and personal development.

This martial art is about building skill, focus, and personal growth through disciplined training. It is not a sport or competition, but rather a system focused on refining technique, learning to move with purpose, and cultivating mental clarity. Over time, you’ll find yourself building strength, flexibility, and confidence while staying connected to a deeply rooted tradition.

Budo Taijutsu is designed to be effective in various situations and adaptable to the individual, ensuring that you can train at your own pace. The goal is to grow your understanding of the martial art and deepen your skills with every class, rather than merely competing or testing your abilities against others.

Full-Body Fitness & Mindful Movement

Our adult martial arts classes are about more than just self-defense. They’re a great way to get in shape and stay fit, all while practicing a martial art. Budo Taijutsu training engages your entire body – from improving your balance and flexibility to developing strength and endurance. Every class provides a full-body workout that will help you build stamina, coordination, and muscle tone all while learning new skills.

We also emphasize mindful movement throughout each class. This means we encourage you to pay attention to how your body moves and make deliberate, controlled motions. Over time, this type of mindful practice will improve your overall posture and body awareness, both inside and outside the dojo. The mindfulness aspect can also help reduce stress and improve your focus, which many students find beneficial in their day-to-day lives.

What to Expect in an Adult Budo Class

• Warm-Up & Stretching: Each class starts with light cardio and stretching to get your body ready.
• Ukemi (Falls & Rolls): Learning how to fall safely is an important part of our training. We’ll teach you techniques to roll and fall safely, which are important skills both for martial arts and everyday life.
• Fundamental Techniques: You’ll practice basic moves, like strikes, kicks, blocks, and footwork. These movements form the foundation of the art.
• Partner Drills & Self-Defense: We’ll also work with partners to practice techniques like escaping from grabs or responding to strikes. These partner drills give you the chance to refine your skills in real-time scenarios.
• Weapons Training: From time to time, we introduce basic weapons like the sword or staff. This training helps you learn distance, timing, and focus.
• Cool Down & Reflection: We end with a short cool-down and some moments of reflection, helping you internalize the day’s training.

Adult martial arts classes are typically 60 minutes long, with options for multiple classes per week to fit your schedule.

And don’t worry if you’re new to exercise or martial arts – our classes are designed to gradually help you improve, step by step, so you can progress at a comfortable pace.
