Delaware Budokan

May 2017

Delaware Budokan is the best dojo around. Sensei Scudieri and Master Celinda are wonderfully knowledgeable and patient. With an authentic look and feel to the dojo, and world renowned instructors, you're sure to experience the best training available. I am currently a green belt and my children are almost black belts.Class sizes vary. I enjoy seeing everyone, but I also like the smaller classes because that gives me extra one-on-one time with the instructors.I could keep going on about how awesome this place is, but if you really want to find out, sign up for a class.

If you are looking for serious martial arts instruction and a facility that values quality over quantity, discipline over dollars, and effectiveness over "fun", I highly recommend you apply for membership at the Delaware Budokan. You will find that rare combination of focused martial arts classes which provide a challenging curriculum for both kids and adults, yet are taught with caring instructors whose goal is to help you succeed, not just cash your checks. I have known Grandmaster Philip Scudieri and Master Celinda Ellsworth for over 20 years. Even when I moved across the country, we never lost touch. If you are accepted as a student at Delaware Budokan, you may find a sense of belonging not found in other dojo. Whether you are looking for a serious karate class for your kids, the focused yet relaxing exercise of tai chi chu'an, or the exquisite art of kenjutsu (traditional Japanese swordsmanship), Delaware Budokan is the perfect choice!
