At Florida Budo-Shokuju Dojo, we teach martial arts as a way of life. The name "Shokuju" translates to “nurturing trees,” it reflects our belief in cultivating growth, resilience, and balance, qualities essential in martial arts and life itself. Rooted in the traditions of the Bujinkan Dojo, our training includes Kenjutsu (swordsmanship), Bojutsu (staff techniques), and Taijutsu (unarmed combat). These disciplines build physical skill, mental focus, and emotional strength, offering timeless lessons from the samurai that extend far beyond the dojo.
Our philosophy at Shokuju is founded on respect, humility, and personal growth. With no competition or ego, we emphasize self-improvement at your own pace. Like nurturing a tree, our training helps students grow steadily and strongly. Kenjutsu hones focus and precision, Bojutsu builds strength and adaptability, and Taijutsu teaches balance and fluid movement—all while fostering discipline and confidence.
Start your journey with a free introductory class and enjoy the flexibility of our pay-as-you-go model, with no long-term contracts. Classes are priced at $20 for adults and $15 for minors. Join our supportive community and begin walking the path of Budo, a path of honor, strength, and transformation rooted in the principles of Shokuju.
