Budokan South

Budokan South We provide instruction in Japanese and Okinawan Martial Arts for Men, Women and Children "

Sometimes an unsolicited recommendation/review is an insightful way of explaining what we do:

"I trained and taught with Rick in many traditional Japanese martial arts for approximately 25 years. Over the course of these two-and-a-half decades, he proved himself to be THE most: dedicated; hard-working; motivated; knowledgeable; physically-skilled; loyal; trustworthy; and honorable-- student and t

eacher-- of the arts we studied. I give him the highest possible recommendation as a master Sensei (teacher) and Renshi (teacher of teachers) of these arts; in which he has been rigorously and gruelingly taught, trained, and tested. He has proof of his expertise and rankings-- as shown in his possession of all official and/or required documentation. This includes certificates/belts/titles/recommendations and geneologies. These were all awarded to him after he successfully completed tests (which included, quite literally-- hundreds of physical, verbal, and written tasks) with a proficiency rating (grade) of 98% or above. He is--in my fairly knowledgeable and experienced opinion-- the greatest practitioner and teacher of the Arts he has (and continues to) studied. I make this statement pertaining to both local, small-scale teachers of these Arts; in addition to the so-called "celebrity" martial artists who have gained notoriety due to: film appearances/roles in television series and appearances/coverage in printed media (newspapers, magazines, Internet websites/ and social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.). If you are seeking a true Master Instructor in the Japanese martial arts of: Jujutsu; Aikido; Karate; ancient and/or traditional Okinawan/Japanese/Chinese weapons-- in addition to the various histories, philosophies, and strategies (both written and oral) with whom these Arts are associated-- Rick Jones is the man you need to have for your Sensei.
