Monthly Tuition Payments May Be Made Online!

Bushido students or their parents may make their monthly tuition payment early, pay in advance or pay off their account in full at www.efconlinepayments.com. You would need to know your account number in order to do this. You may get your account number from the Karate school office.

Attention Orange Belts
As an orange belt, please be aware that one of the requirements to be able to test for your blue belt is that you have to be sparring in class. Thus, you need safety gear. Minimum sparring equipment consists of head, hand and foot gear along with a mouthpiece. Shin guards are also highly recommended. One of the benefits of joining the Black Belt Club is that you receive all of this safety equipment along with much, much more in your Black Belt Club package. If you have received an invitation to join the Black Belt Club, but you have not made an appointment to discuss joining with Mr. Taylor yet, please simply contact the school office. It is at least worth talking about. We look forward to hearing from you.

Attention Home School Parents
Beginning Tuesday, October 4th, we will be offering a Home School kid’s class (Junior Class, not Kinder Karate Kids) at our Broad St. location. This class will meet every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 9:00 – 10:00am. Home School kids only.


Bad Weather Policy
Anytime you are not sure whether the Karate School will be open or not due to the weather, please simply call the school to find out. There will either be someone there to answer your questions, or there will be a very clear message on the answering machine stating that we will be closed due to ice or snowy conditions. Just because schools may be closed, doesn’t necessarily mean the Karate school will be closed.
