From the reviews

My boys joined Busho Kai over two years ago. We originally signed up due to my youngest having behavior challenges at school. Right away he had positive changes and has received awards for citizenship and a whole new kid! My oldest has found his new passion and joined the competition team.

★★★★★ — Nicole, Dec 2025

Busho Kai has a wonderful martial arts program. I have two 8 year girls who have attended for 3 years and will continue to attend because this is like there second home. They have after school programs, summer camps, and training for competitions. My girls have learned to have respect, discipline, and self confidence.

★★★★★ — Paula, Dec 2021

This is a first class program. I visited 8 other karate programs in the Mansfield/Arlington area and this was by far the most clean, organized and professional of them all. If you want your child to learn respect, discipline, listening and to participate in a healthy atmosphere then this is the right choice.

★★★★★ — Kevin, Aug 2023

At first my girls did the 2 weeks trial and after those 2 weeks they decided to continue and as they got more involved with tournaments and now they are joining competitions they love it and I like how all the instructors are nice and take the time to teach them of they are having a hard time.

★★★★★ — Cindy, Dec 2024

Your first BJJ class at Busho Kai Martial Arts & Fitness

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
