ABOUT BUTOKUDEN
BUTOKUDEN has Martial Arts classes for all levels in KENDO, KARATE, NAGINATA, AIKIDO and JODO. On the cultural side, we offer KADO (Sogetsuryu Ikebana Flower Arrangement), and Bushido culture classes.
In the olden days in Japan, every major city had a place called BUTOKUDEN. This is where Martial Arts and Japanese Culture were taught to the community, and also a gathering place, where children and young adults were taught the philosophy of Bushido. BUTOKUDEN is located in the heart of Irvine, in Orange County. Please come in for a free trial for any of our classes.
