With world class instruction by the Higashi family, the Kokushi Budo Institute offers you authentic, traditional martial arts instruction in NYC with modern day practical applications.
We provide martial arts as a tool for enhancing your quality of life by improving physical fitness, developing a healthy mind and acquiring a time-tested skill set.
Students come from all walks of life: school teachers, lawyers, babysitters, food critics, doctors, musicians, and many more. Many achieve black belts, and we have produced both Olympians and National champions in Judo.
