“Help your child develop discipline, focus, and perseverance that carry into school and everyday life. Our program blends structure with encouragement, building habits that lead to responsibility, self-control, and lasting success.”
“Watch your child grow in confidence and learn the value of respect — both for themselves and for others. Our martial arts program builds leadership, character, and self-esteem while teaching practical self-defense in a safe, positive space.”
“Keep your child active, healthy, and energized while having fun. Through dynamic drills and exciting activities, kids improve strength, balance, and coordination — all while enjoying the friendships and teamwork that make training memorable.”
For nearly 50 years, I have dedicated my life to martial arts. Since opening Bushido of Benson in 2016, I’ve helped children in our community grow in confidence, focus, and respect.
As a longtime substitute teacher in Benson schools, I understand the challenges kids face both in the classroom and beyond. I bring patience, structure, and encouragement into every class so students can thrive.
I have had the honor of training in Japan and learning directly from some of the world’s greatest martial artists. Today, Bushido of Benson is the only certified dojo outside of Japan directly under Master Kenjiro Kawanabe — a lineage that connects your child to authentic, traditional Japanese Budo.
At Bushido of Benson, your child will always learn directly from me — in a safe, structured, and supportive environment built on respect and tradition.
Give your child the gift of authentic martial arts training. Reserve your free trial class today.
The first photo taken in 2002 is with me and Marty Kove (Sensei Kreese from The Karate Kid) in his motorhome, reminiscing about the Karate Kid saga. The second video is 20 years later, where Martin Kove’s son Jesse Kove (Actor in the TV Series Cobra Kai) sends best wishes for the Bushido of Benson Dojo.
