This place is incredible! I found it through an amazing women's self defense class that was offered to the community--by donation, and in collaboration with two other dojos. I was very impressed with the focus on intuition and self-awareness, and knew immediately that I wanted my child to be a part of the community as well. I'm so glad I made that decision! The focus on self-awareness and service are fantastic. The sense of community. The comprehensive approach to training, which includes a plethora of videos and activities to do at home and extend the learning beyond the dojo. I can't say enough good things about Sean, Nesta, and the whole Kasumi Mountain team! - Diana Alexajandra, School Teacher: Dojo Member and Dojo Parent
Budo Mountain is a fantastic dojo. A great place to learn how to make martial arts a part of your life. Sean and Nesta not only know what they're doing when it comes to fighting, but also when it comes to helping people, both children and adults, grow and learn more about their own bodies. Highly recommended! - Autumn Robinson, Co-Owner of RMA Karate, Private Dojo Student
The Ninja Kids program is awesome! My son has been part of it for about a year and half now and has enjoyed every moment of the experience. It challenges him in the best of ways, not only physically but mentally and spiritually as well. Sensei Sean and Sensei Nesta are an incredible team and work so well with the children. I like the smaller class setting and I feel that my son is receiving an ample amount of personal attention. It has been a joy to watch him blossom in this martial arts practice, and I look forward to staying with this dojo for a long time to come! - Kelly Heinerth, Ninja Kids Club and Summer Camp Parent
