Our Mission Statement

We at the Circle of one Martial Arts Studio believe in the unity of our students. Each one will teach one from the very first lesson, and as we learn and grow together, we also grow as individuals. A circle has strength throughout because it has no sides, and is one through and through. A Warrior’s goal is to learn the lessons of honor, loyalty, dedication, self-esteem and self-defense. In the circle we teach: San Lung Tao/Kung-Fu, Chinese Goju/Karate, Way of the Winds/Ju-Jitsu, and Kodokan Judo/Judo.

The Bushido Martial Arts System being over 30 years in the making incorporates Sensei Benny Jordan’s mastery of martial arts technique and superb teaching skills. He wishes to bring to you through his teachings and help the ability to cut through a lot of the Martial Arts nonsense in a no-nonsense approach to learning and practicing self-defense. Since Sensei Benny has practice studied and taught martial arts for most of his life he understands the need to continually learn and practice while he continues to follow his dream to arm (or prepare) the world to defend themselves against those that mean them harm.
