Bushido Ryu Dojo -Krav Maga, Karate, Jujitsu, Dania Beach Fort Lauderdale

"War Arts School , trained with them for a year really solid friendly group of people, Sensei Gerry very knowledgeable and really breaks things down simply. NOTE This is not a Karate Dojo like what you normally find for sport training, this is an adults only War school that trains you for dealing with real world situations, how to defend yourself with maximum effectiveness. Highly recommend for those that are looking to learn to actually fight and defend yourself in a street fight and other scenarios. exactly what I was looking for when I joined."

"For years I would drive by Bushido Knights Rue wondering what was going on in that all adult school as I rushed home from TaeKwonDo class to shower and get to my third shift job. Finally I was passing by on a night off and decided to check it out. Sensei Knapton greeted me cordially and asked about my experience in martial arts, among other things I said I was 2nd Dan with my own school. I finished by explaining I'd become bored doing the same old thing and I asked for permission to watch and steal some of his secrets to teach my students. Instead he invited me onto the mat, "better to learn by doing so I could teach it correctly" he said. I was paired with students mid to high rank all whose skill were equal or superior to my own. By the end of the class I decided that one night wasn't enough so I joined the class and have been a student with Sensei Knapton’s for about 5 years. Sensei has a curriculum that crosses many styles including grappling, locks, submissions, breaks, upright fighting, elements of Kali and Wing Chun and more all taught in a friendly and calm atmosphere that makes learning easy and stress free. Not to be overlooked is the camaraderie of like minded brothers and sisters and I have so much fun there I rarely let anything interfere with my dojo schedule. My one regret I have is that work has taken me far from Dania Beach and I am not currently able to attend classes. I am looking forward to resuming my training when I return."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the intro class the dojo is a decent size they have a good amount of equipment but I do think it’s a bit odd that none of this establishments information is online. The fact that you have to make a $200 down payment then pay $198/month for the basic package for a dojo with no AC. You have to go through an entire intro class before you get any information. The sensei almost seems like he wants to show off more than teach and I don’t think that’s the quality of a good instructor."

"The Best Self Defense Martial Arts School in South Florida. While most academies teach sport martial arts, this school prepares you for real life situations, street combat, hand to hand fighting, defense against sticks, knives, guns, even multiple attackers. While the school is great for everyone, not everyone is allowed to train here. The Sensei interviews you, gives you a booklet of the material that you're expected to learn, along with required books that you are required to read as you advance in rank, and it lists the moves and techniques that you should be learning in your belt rank. If you agree to the terms, and he feels that you are a good candidate, you honored with a white belt to begin your journey as a martial artist. If you're looking for real combat skills, under a Master that teaches the art following the Bushido Code, come to this school. OSS! ~ Rey Rey Rodriguez"
