Bushido Kyokai. 6021 Washington Street, Gurnee, IL 60031

"My son loves Bushido! He has learned a lot in his 6 mos. He is motivated to hold himself accountable while possessing an honorable character. The instructors are wonderful models for the children and they get to participate in fun and culturally engaging activities!"

"My son love this dojo. Sensei is really nice and great with kids . 100% recommend"

"This dojo is the best thing we could have done for our daughter. Not only is the sensai amazing with the kids, he gets to know them and their quirks. The fact that our child went from not wanting to listen in front her pears to now does not have an issue to following direction. The establishment represents everything from the name, the art and the attire. To its sensei and his student helpers. I will recommend to this place anyone wanting to learned the arts of Judo."

"I highly recommend Bushido Kyokai!! I started here about 8 months ago as a way to do an activity together with my 2 daughters (12 and 9 years old). I thought it would be challenging to practice martial arts in classes in a space where the whole family is together but it actually has been an amazing experience. At the same time fun, fulfilling and instructive. The Sensei is really good with the kids, striking a very good balance in between being restrict and playful. He is also frequently looking to promote fun events where the kids can learn more about Japanese culture, play and make friends. All in all, Bushido Kyokai is a good environment to learn valuable life lessons like honor, respect, self-control and self-defense, while doing a healthy and fulfilling activity."

"Bushido association invited us for a self defense class with the town queens of lake county. At first we were intimidated but quickly learned respect and appreciation through our class. This class was perfect for our girls of all ages, we had fun and learned useful skills. Being a college student who likes to travel, this class was beneficial for teaching me how to protect myself in a time of need. We will be back soon for another class we had a BLAST!"
