Bushin Martial Arts | Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Richmond

“Such a wonderful place. Our 6yo son attended Gracie Bullyproof for over six months and had an amazing experience. The teachers are incredible with the kids. The kids have fun, bond and become friends, and begin learning the foundations of the discipline and of understanding personal space, bullying, and asserting their own of boundaries and agency. Many (almost all) women teachers and teacher’s aids created a truly inclusive environment. What a wonderful little community hiding in plain sight in this unassuming strip mall. Can’t recommend enough.”

“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. I have been blessed to be apart of this academy and it has made a significant positive impact on my life. One of the best experiences of my life...they have treated me like family.”

“Everyone at Bushin is very friendly and welcoming. They make you feel right at home in an environment some might find intimidating. My son is 6 years old and is learning valuable lessons that will stick with him for life.”

“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 the women's class so much that I eventually joined the Combative's class open to all adults. The instructors have created such a great atmosphere that is safe and ego-less. The focus is on teamwork and learning together. In short, the school easily becomes family. I never thought I'd be a practitioner of any Martial Art, but Bushin Academy made it easy and fun to learn self defense. If you're wondering where to train or send your kids, this is definitely the place!”

“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.”
