BUSHIDOKAI DOJO

Bushidokai Traditional Martial Arts offers Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu, the 1200-year-old art of the elite samurai of the Takeda clan. Daito Ryu focuses on grappling, throwing, pinning, advanced striking arts, and the development of “Aiki” internal power for advanced techniques. David LoPriore Sensei, L.Ac., a practitioner with 35 years experience, teaches here under world-renown master teacher Roy Goldberg Shingen Sensei.

    The CHEAT DEATH system trains martial artists, CCWs, LEOs, military and veterans versus short-range deadly surprise attacks by one or more assailants. The system offers advanced shooting, edged weapons, tactical decision-making, pain-compliance, submission and striking methods.  CHEAT DEATH training shows you how difficult circumstances can be turned around and used to your advantage in a surprise attack situation, even if assaulted with edged, projectile or other deadly weapons.  The principles of advanced ancient and modern combative arts merge to create this very unique training program.
