Core Philosophy - Do the work!
- Do you find it hard to relax?
- Would you rather be DOING something?
- I value work ethic.
- I believe in the power of practice.
- Karate mastery will improve all aspects of your life.
- Learning is not a linear process.
- There is no such thing as perfection.
- Commitment to the arts and to each other is in years not days.

Bushido Karate Dojo
You can find the home dojo in "The Village" in Casco, Maine.
At BKD we study a blend of the Kyokushin and Isshinryu styles. We love to spar and our students shine when performing kata (forms), whether for personal satisfaction or in a competitive environment.
My husband Eric and I raised our kids, Jordan and Nick in the dojo. It was the single best parenting decision we ever made. We look forward to meeting you and your family sometime soon.
