Awaking the Warrior Spirit Within

Here at L.A. Budo, we are here to help you reach your highest
potential. Whether it be learning self-defense, getting in
the best shape
of your life, building confidence, or just training in
ancient traditions.
We have it all! No attitudes. Just check the ego at the door
and come
to learn.
Martial Arts the most powerful tool to
create positive change. Through the training you’ll not
only condition
your body but your mind as well. The Martial arts have a
spiritual component
that go beyond combat effectiveness.  Your confidence will be built by self
discipline.
You will become a more focused and motivated individual

leadership skills. You will learn self control and the
ability to resolve
conflict. You can learn all of these character traits and
get in great
shape at the same time! Training in the martial arts is
anything but boring.
It’s a high energy, fat burning, stress reducing,
supercharged workout!

It is never too late to start! It is perfect for
men and women
in their 30′s, 40′s, 50′s and up!

Safety

We understand that most of our students are not  training for
a MMA type match, or a Muay Thai fight.  They just want to
have fun, learn self-defense skills or get in great shape.
That is why safety is our number
1 priority. We pride ourselves on using the latest, most
progressive teaching methods available. You will receive individual help from our instructors as you master the basics and on-going guidance as your skill level increases.

Our Philosophy On Self-Defense 

Ancient Traditions Modern Applications

 

We teach what works!

We offer both training methods that go back to 1000 years as well
as Modern methods that are used in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).

Our Alive Classes consist the 3 ‘games’ of
Stand-up, Clinch, and Ground.

Our Stand-up curriculum uses the extremely functional delivery system
of Muay Thai.

Our Clinch curriculum relys on Muay
Thai
, Western Wrestling, and Jutaijutsu.

Our ground curriculum combine the techniques of Takagi Yoshin Ryû
Jutaijutsu, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Trained correctly, martial arts are a safe,
challenging and a reflective medium from which
you can surpass your limitations.
