Bushin Martial Arts Academy Of Richmond

Critical: Communication, Professionalism
Got cussed out in front of the whole class because of cross training other arts at different schools. The curriculum is good but some instructors need to understand not everybody has the same goal. After that I decided to take my training elsewhere.

The instructors (Mike, Suzanne, Brandy, and Cole) are super knowledgeable and friendly. I’ve been here for almost a year and the entire school feels like family. You see all ages and genders training and encouraging each other throughout their martial arts journey. In addition, they have a well established emphasis on their members safety and well being. I’ve trained at other jiu jitsu academy’s and this by far is a prefect fit for functional jiu jitsu/self-defense. They’re inviting to new comers, as well as beginners. I could not have found a better place to train.

Mike is a great instructor and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed going the last few months. You’re learning the basics in a stress free environment and they key the mats extremely clean all the time. This is a great place for people of all levels to come and learn, practice, and polish those skills.

I personally believe that everyone should enjoy the benefits of self-defense, especially our young ladies. That's why I went looking for a martial arts school for my 10 yo daughter about four years ago. We have a kazillion TKD studios in the West End to select from but I choose the Bushin Martial Arts Academy of RIchmond, instead, despite it being located 25 minutes away, each way.
I've known the Nguyen family, Michael and Suzanne, for about 10 years. They are EXACTLY the kind of people I want as role models in my child's life! I have been so impressed with their character and integrity, the level

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!!! My son has had some difficulties with his self esteem and confidence in the past. This is the most wonderful, happy, encouraging environment. I love their LOVE for all of the students. The instructors teach and show these children respect, boundaries, how important it is to follow rules, responsibility, and help them grow physically and mentally. The instructors show so much respect to their students and their families. My son doesn't just train here, he has shown so much growth physically and mentally. THEY ARE FAMILY!!!!! Bushin Martial Arts Academy has been a great

Great environment, the instructors are great! My son started out in the anti bullying camp. He loved it so much that he wanted to take the classes. He did this for awhile and ended up trying out the karate class. The woman empowerment classes were wonderful and I learned a lot from the instructors. By doing this my son’s confidence soared and he feels he can do anything.

I live in Williamsburg, VA and have chosen to travel, an hour each way, to train with Mike and Suzanne Nguyen because they are two of the most highly-educated, compassionate, honest, encouraging and sincere instructors I have ever trained with. They have created a truly safe environment in which ALL students can feel secure in knowing they are in a safe place to learn and practice techniques. After training with 3 martial arts' schools in Virginia, BMAA in Richmond is the ONLY school I would recommend to my friends, my own family and anyone looking for a high-quality training environment in which

The instructors at Bushin Martial Arts Academy of Richmond are amazing, what is even more they are better people. Mike, Suzanne, and Brandy are not only knowledgeable about martial arts, but they try to teach in such away that the student is encouraged and given individual attention. They are simply the best. If you are looking for a positive, clean, and safe environment for men, women, and children, then Bushin Martial Art Academy of Richmond is your place.

As a martial artist, I came to this school to develop more of my ground technique. Between visiting and or teaching at other schools, I can say this school is really one of the best of the best.

Bushin Martial Arts Academy of Richmond is wonderful. I cannot recommend them strongly enough! I did not have a background in Martial Arts at all, so I was hesitant to try, but I'm so glad I did!
I started training with them in the Women Empowered program. From day 1, I was super comfortable in the environment they have cultivated. The women's class is taught by women which immediately made it feel safer. The instructors are knowledgeable and work with you to make the techniques work for you. They are sensitive to physical limitations and any past trauma that may impact your training.
I loved
