Bushido Knights

Practical martial arts for those interested in developing themselves spiritually, physically and mentally more

Its been years, but to this day , one of the best systems hands down. You learn what self defense is all about and how to be practical in its use. more

The Bushido Knights is a great place to learn self-defense, strengthen your body, and strengthen your mind. Great group of people training along side you make the experiences there great and learning easy. Couldn't imagine myself at any other dojo in south florida. more

When I first walked into the Bushido Knights Academy I was a mess. Grossly overweight, and addicted to drugs. more

After being in various Martial Arts schools since 1994, Bushido Knights has been an excellent place to further my training. You are not only tought the common sense approach to defending yourself in mostly any situation on the street you can also advance your skill set and knowledge base in various Martial Arts. I also find is a great way to keep in shape and mentally sharp at the same time. If you are looking for a run of the mill cookie cutter Dojo to train, this is not the place for you. You will be trained with the old fashioned Budo way of training which is very rear to find. more

Training at the Bushido Knights Ryu has been a great experience for me. The personal growth I have experienced has improved my life and contiunues to challange me to push myself. It is a great place to train with a great group of people. more

I became a Bushido Knight about 5 years ago after I was violently attacked at work (Jail) and if it were not for help arriving I could have easily been killed due to the lack of self defense skills at the time. Fast forward to the present and my self defense record speaks for itself thanks to the phenomenal instruction at the Bushido Knights Ryu. I have been attacked many more times in the last 5 years and have been able to quickly and efficiently defend myself on every occasion. The first attack was only a couple of weeks after I began training and I was already equipped with the tools needed to keep myself safe while restraining the violent inmate. If it weren?t for Sensei Knapton and the other great instructors I know many of the incidents I have been involved in wouldn?t have ended so positively. If you want REAL martial arts that give you proper self-defense skills for real life situations (not sport) than I highly recommend you make a call or stop by. Give the free 2 week trial a shot and I promise that you won?t be sorry because I know it?s one of the best decisions I?ve made in my life. more

I have been training at the Bushido Knights for over five years. Not only have I learned real martial arts skills, I have also transformed my life and grown so much as a person. If you are looking to train with high quality people, in a cooperative and encouraging environment, I can't imagine a better place. more

After having been training martial arts since my late teens I eventually decided I wanted to branch out and expand my skillset. I watched and took the free introductory classes at numerous schools (some of which were fairly well-renowned) in the South Broward and North Miami areas looking for the right fit and I had no desire to return for a 2nd class at any of them except for Bushido Knights. What I was looking for above all else was an experienced teacher that was knowledgeable in practical self-defense from all areas of martial arts, and a good atmosphere that came from having skilled students that were also good people you're happy to be around even outside of class. There is no doubt that you get this when you get this when you get there and interact with both the head instructor and the fellow students and I am happy to have been accepted to the dojo and to have been training there ever since. more

A really nice school. You can see a lot of time and thought went in to everything. more

Great high quality school. Very attractive school and very clean. Great instruction. Really nice group of students and skilled martial artists. I liked that they let me train for 2 weeks for free to try it and see more

I have been a student of Bushido Knights for several months. I have found Sensei Knapton to be a true teacher, one who understands that the expectations of the students are different. Some people want to learn how to kick butt, others just want a good workout, and everywhere in between. This is a real life style of Martial Arts. Not for points, not for showing off, but a commen sense approach to what may happen in the real world. Its the real deal, and Sensei Knapton makes if fun. Pros: Real life approach Cons: Commitment required more

This is an excellent school. The instruction is very high quality. The instructors are very skilled Black Belts who are able to clearly explain the techniques they are teaching. I really liked that the classes focus on reality based scenarios and real fighting skills rather than just doing Kata, line drills and all the other things you normally see at sport schools and kids schools. I also liked the fact that people have to go through an admissions process to be accepted as students at the school. I don't know of any other schools in the area that has admissions requirements. Pros: Great instruction. First class facility and equipment more

Pros: Great instruction, excellent system and a master teacher Cons: The most expensive school by far. (But worth it.) more

This teacher has so many black belts and Hight ranks...including Jiu-Jitsu. Pros: You can learn how to cheat people from Fake Master Cons: Fake Master more

The teacher is very bad guy. He love to talk S#$ a lot. more

They teach cheap martial arts (they can teach only adult because to teach child is difficult). they teach something strange from many different martial arts -teacher could not stick same style for over 1 year. this is not the usual sport or kids arts you find. This is a con school. more

They teach real martial arts (they are one of the few schools that only offer adult classes). they teach skills from many different martial arts -you would have to go to at least 4 different schools to learn all the skills taught here. this is not the usual sport or kids arts you find. they have a great record of their students successfully defending thmselves. They are very selective about who they will train, (you train for 2 weeks for free while you are in the admissions process). Some schools were pushy about selling, the bushido knights are the opposite, they won't LET you sign up -until you are offered admission. They teach you real skills right away and you get to learn from the chief instructor who is a outstanding martial artist and a great teacher. If you can get in, this is definately the place to train. Pros: great instruction, real martial arts, small class sizes Cons: hard to be accepted more
