I never imagined I would be counting down the hours at work so I could go to a martial arts class. I actually dislike exercise and find it boring and uncomfortable. At Mushin I get in some killer cardio, and my brain is tricked into barely noticing. I find that Mushin is one of the only times during the day when I am fully present. I leave all distractions at the door and truly enjoy every class. Brian and Brandon are awesome teachers and make everyone feel welcome. I love the vibe at Mushin. It's been so fun getting to know the other students, they are more than willing to share their knowledge

Three of my children are currently enrolled at Mushin and they love it! They learn more than just martial arts. They learn respect, discipline, and self-control. Brian and his team know how to bring out the best in my kids (two sons and a daughter). I can't recommend them enough!

My son and I each take a class and both love it. He is confident, loves his instructor, and assistants. He is learning more discipline, respect, and is constantly improving his skills.
In two years we have both come a long way and as a woman it has helped me to feel like I am gaining skills that will help me if I’m ever in a situation where I may need them. These are useful skills we all need.
I wanted a place that felt like a family and Mushin is definitely what I was looking for.

Sensei Brian has the perfect mixture of being compassionate and disciplined with his students. The dedication he shows to his students and to martial arts in general is outstanding and you can see that passion every time he teaches. Highly recommended!

Great personalized coaching, with great people who truly care about your improvement. Classes for every person from every background. They go your speed and make sure your fundamentals are intact while also teaching you advanced techniques that work towards whatever your fitness goal is whether that’s competing, learning self defense, great cardio or just something new to do. Highly recommended. You will not regret walking in the door.

Our children started classes at Mushin years ago and continue to love it. They challenged me to try the women's self defense class just once, and now I'm going on three years. Wonderful instructors and incredible classmates make this a can't-miss gym. Our family now has opted for private lessons during the pandemic to keep up our skills.
If you're on the fence about martial arts, jump down and get over here!

This program is spectacular! I have a son who struggles with maintaining meaningful relationships and self confidence. The environment at Mushin is structured, clean, friendly, fun, but most of all safe. The teachers here are invested in the student as a whole person. They check in with family, friends, and teachers. Brian is easy to work with, responds quickly to concerns, and goes the extra mile to create a family like experience. My son has found his voice, his confidence, and is also learning be accountable for his actions, as well as to value himself and others. Thank you, thank you, thank

I have had my boys at 3 different Karate studios, ( including Kona) and this place is by far my favorite. It’s the when my son was in kindergarten he had a rough year and this place was really good for him. Brian knows how to make it fun as well as teaching them respect and listening. The older kids that help him are great and I feel like all the kids get equal attention. He is great at talking them through emotions as well. This place is very worth it and it the only studio that my kids enjoyed learning karate. Brian is patient, encouraging and so great with the kids.
