About Florida Budo
Our Mission
At Florida Budo, we are committed to welcoming students of all ages and abilities into an ego-free environment, where the practice of traditional Japanese martial arts, including Samurai Sword Training, is paired with personal growth, discipline, and respect. Rooted in the samurai and ninja traditions of the Bujinkan Dojo, our training fosters resilience, balance, and self-defense skills — while always honoring the art’s deeper philosophy of mindfulness and integrity.

Sensei Dr.Bren Mahoney
My journey into martial arts began during my service in the United States Marine Corps. In 2015, I started training at a Bujinkan Dojo specializing in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, and today I hold the rank of Sandan (third-degree black belt). I’m honored to assist in leading classes under the guidance of my teacher, Sensei Victor Acebo, where we also incorporate elements of Samurai Sword Training.
