My son has been going here for 2 years and has enjoyed his time here. But I can't say enough good things about Sensei Tyler, he does so well with this kids! He remembers everyone, challenges them, is patient/kind and makes it so fun.
We love the team at Friendswood Bushi Ban. They teach the kids discipline and respect along with martial arts, all while having fun.
Bushi Ban is great place and I love all the instructors!!
We signed my child up to get him into an extracurricular that would help build his confidence and required physical effort. The staff and instructors are absolutely wonderful in working with each child and their individual personalities. Our son really enjoys learning new things in each class and especially Mr. Tyler. It has a family feel to it and I highly recommend!
