About A Chat with Blue Valley Bushidokan Karate

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
Bushidokan is a unique fusion of karate, judo and jujitsu transformed into flexible, street-ready self-defense. Mr. Jim Harrison founded the Bushidokan system in 1964 to be a unique mental and physical development process requiring time and dedication, endeavored by many, but mastered by few.

What equipment is provided? Is there anything visitors need to bring?
All you need is some loose fitting clothes for your introductory program. Should you decide to join our dojo, you'll wear the traditional uniform called a "gi."

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
The masters of Bushidokan have committed to keeping their system pure, giving the student a true indication of "real" progress. Advancement carries with it a cherished knowledge that it has been earned, and the student is highly qualified and worthy of the respect that each new rank carries.

What do you love most about your job?
I love watching the growth of our kids. I have students that have been with me for many years and now that they are adults, they're own kids are now training with us. I also love that we teach the our kids practical and effective self defense combined with common sense and real life skills.
