My family has been connected to Villatoro Bushido Martial Arts for years. My oldest, who is now 18,…read moretrained here when he was younger, and the impact it had on him stayed with us. Recently, I found myself bringing my 9‑year‑old -- and I'm so grateful we did. My son never really found his place in sports. We tried football, soccer, baseball -- nothing clicked. But the moment he stepped into this studio, something changed. He found comfort, confidence, and a sense of belonging that we hadn't seen before. I truly believe it's because of the teaching approach here. The senseis don't just teach martial arts and self‑defense. They teach discipline, respect, focus, and responsibility. They meet each child where they are and bring out the best in them. You can feel the patience, the structure, and the genuine care they put into every class. Watching my son grow here -- not just in skill, but in character -- has been incredible. Villatoro Bushido MA is more than a martial arts studio. It's a community, a support system, and a place where kids learn to believe in themselves. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a positive, empowering environment for their child.

My son has been attending Villatoro Bushido for a year and a half, and we absolutely love it. The…read moresenseis are incredible with the kids they're patient, motivating, and really know how to bring out the best in them. It's not just for the kids, either! I recently joined their Muay Thai classes, and I'm so glad I did. It's very beginner-friendly and welcoming, even if you've never done anything like this before. They also offer adult kickboxing classes, which are a great way to stay active and learn new skills. Highly recommend 10/10 experience!

Camp Adventurewood

My son attended his first season at Camp Adventurewood in 2023 - it was his first experience at a…read moresummer camp and he was a little nervous and shy but all his counselors made him feel so welcome and comfortable and after the first day he was hooked! He loved the variety of activities and made so many new friends. He came home with fun stories each day. I loved that they offered a variety of options from 2 days/week to 5 days. We returned last summer and an unexpected and sudden medical event threw our summer for a loop. They were beyond kind and accommodating. Michael, the owner, personally made sure we were taken care of at a very scary time and was just incredibly kind and communicative. I can't thank him and his staff enough for the support. I would recommend this camp for any family. Its like a classic, old-school summer day camp experience!

My son attended Adventurewood camp for the first time this week. For the most part he enjoyed…read morehimself -- particularly the characters they introduce throughout the week. However, we decided to pull him out for next week because of a very disturbing situation. He shared that a counselor had pushed him with both hands on his shoulders during a capture the flag activity. He had dropped his flag and was putting it back on when a counselor (he didn't know her name) pushed him back hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. She also barked "you need to reset!" She didn't ask if he was ok or help him up. You'd think if this was an accidental push and he fell over she would say something like "sorry bud are you ok? Here let me help you up" but nope, not a word. A friend he's attending camp with witnessed the whole incident. Since I pick them both up in the afternoons they both recounted this situation to me and both of them noted how inappropriate her behavior was. I immediately reached out to Michael, the owner of the camp. He said he wanted to identify this counselor and get her side of the story. Understandable. My son felt uncomfortable going back the next day but I reassured him it would be handled and offered to drop him off in the morning and stick around to talk to Michael and the counselor. I wanted him to feel safe. Michael identified her (her name is Carson) and said he wanted to talk to her first, which he did a few feet away from me. I heard her say she didn't push him. They then walked over to me and she again denied everything. So we asked both kids to come over and recount what happened. They both did -- in front of her -- and reiterated she pushed him. She denied even touching him. So Michael suggests at this point that perhaps it was an accident and my son responds by saying "how do you push someone like that by accident?!" No response. So I ask her, are you saying these kids are lying? She again said she didn't touch him and at this point we send the kids away. I'm incensed because not only does she gaslight both of them to their face but tells this bold faced lie to her boss in front of the campers and me. I tell her I believe them and I think she's the one lying. At this point she gives me this dirty look - angry, irritated and almost rolls her eyes at me. I turn to Michael and say "and now she's giving ME an attitude?!" Unbelievable. In a follow up call, he tells me how good of a person she is and that this is shocking for him to hear but that she doesn't seem like someone who would do something like this...that she's getting her teacher credentials and he knows her really well. I am getting the vibe he doesn't actually believe any of this and he sounds very skeptical. I respond by telling him that it's almost always surprising when people exhibit bad behavior and that even teachers do bad things...that doesn't make her any more credible in my eyes. He acknowledged that. In fact, it's worse because I would be really concerned to have someone like that teaching a kid. Lack of empathy, accountability, and integrity. I mean, I think it's great he's trying to have her back but there are moments in life when you need to draw a line and act swiftly...these are one of those moments. Because ultimately, this impacts the reputation of your camp. I told him that it would be good to offer training to his staff in case this ever happens again in the future and honestly he sounded baffled and asked me to clarify...I said well maybe tell your staff not to give dirty looks to a mom who's clearly upset that her son just got pushed by a grown adult at summer camp?? I told him that the response to this situation could've resulted in a totally different outcome. Had she said something like "I really don't recall pushing you but if I inadvertently did and made you feel bad I'm sorry - I didn't mean to do that" - I would've went home that morning feeling fine about the situation. When I told him this he said that he's not going to police all her reactions, that she's still young, that she's still learning and made all kinds of excuses for her. Exhausting. Apparently she got a "warning" and will sit out of the flag activity (umm, ok...). He seems like a smart guy and wish him nothing but success in the future and I was earnestly trying to offer advice for how to handle a situation like this better but it fell on deaf ears. I really hope that some kind of learning comes out of this for both of them. Oh and to top it off, my son's friend told her mom that Carson was giving her looks several times throughout the day today and when she asked what kind she said "side eye" looks. NOT COOL. My son also said she was kind of mean to him but wondering why they were even in close proximity when Michael said they'd absolutely be separated and would not see each other? Validates we both made the right choice by pulling them both out. He offered a refund but I'm still pissed about the situation.

Code Ninja is much more flexible - you create the schedule - but I wasn't sure without a teacher, lesson, in a class setting whether he would make good use of his time. They do have senseis (like teachers/aids) who are there to help as needed but it's more fluid depending on what skill your kid is having trouble learning . I have not had much experience with the senseis, but my son tells me they do come around to help and when I pick him up, he is so eager to show me his work. Each week, you get a progress email with links to his completed projects/games - so far he has programmed cute avatars with talking bubbles and movements - and the email also says how close he is to go up in belt. I could not tell how he was doing or know what he made in his last studio as there were no progress report/measurement. The owner is very nice and accommodating of our schedule, and sincere in wanting to create a fun place of learning for kids, as he too has young kids.
