The West Michigan Budokan offers adult martial arts instruction in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu and the Japanese Sword and Staff. We also offer instruction in Chinese Qigong as well as meditative practices. Traditional Japanese and Chinese martial arts developed body and mind. While the martial arts classes and qigong/meditative classes are held at separate times, they compliment each other and are an equal part of developing the higher self. We also offer two youth instructional classes. These classes are separated by age (4-8 years and 8-14 years). Our youth instructional classes promote development of coordination, focus, respect and other life-skills as well as martial arts ability. The West Michigan Budokan has been operating for over a decade. In that time the traditional methods contained within the martial teachings have help guide countless individuals and families down the road of positive growth and change. We invite you to enjoy our webpage…and we look forward to the opportunity to work side by side with you in your journey into the world of martial arts.

If you are interested in viewing an adult or youth training session at the dojo, we warmly encourage you to visit us on site during any of the appropriate training times. We welcome the opportunity to interact with you and answer any questions you may have.
