our Club benefits

At Budocentral we pride ourselves for being non-tournament. It allows us to train on practical every day uses and our students can work at their own development without having to worry about winning tournaments. Its about the development of the student first!

Convenient Location

We are in the heart of Dartmouth at the North Woodside Community center at 230 Pleasant St, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, B2Y 3R8

Non-Tournament Training and Workouts

Co-operative practices means students can focus at their pace and skill level and not feel the pressure of achieving tournament accolades. There are no egos to deal with in a non-tournament environment.

Individual approach

Because we have been around for decades we have an extremely large instructor group with very small student to instructor ratios.

Professional Fun Instruction

We are not militant in our approach to the martial arts. We believe in producing an environment conducive to good learning

Experienced trainers

We have a large experienced black belt group always willing to help.
