About Us

Busho Kai Martial Arts & Fitness

Busho Kai Martial Arts & Fitness was founded by Hanshi Ivan Lewis over 30 years ago. We are located in Mansfield, Texas. Busho Kai USA is an award-winning, nationally recognized, self-defense school with programs to fit every student. Our goal is to teach students to become the best they can be at martial arts and in life!

We provide high quality instruction in a positive, safe and encouraging environment. Our innovative teaching methods and unique curriculum are designed to allow students to learn step by step. Students set goals and earn progressively higher belts while learning the art of karate. Lessons increase confidence and self-control, sharpen mental focus and help students achieve physical fitness.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to make our students more successful in life through their practice of Karate-Do at Busho Kai Martial Arts & Fitness.   We do this by teaching our Karate style, Shito-ryu, as a complete discipline (mind, body, and spirit) which, in addition to developing physical defense, encourages the formation of high personal standards and respect for fellow men and women.   Through our practice and teaching, and our student culture, we strive daily to produce individuals who are positive, respected, and contributing members of our society.
