Why Budokan Israel?

Are you interested in martial arts? Personal growth? Israel? Whether you are at a crossroad in your life or taking some time for yourself, there is no time like the present to treat yourself to the Budokan experience. Join the hundreds of successful graduates who have changed their lives by joining the Budokan Israel Martial Arts and Fitness program. From our multiple martial arts disciplines, touring and learning about the history and beauty of Israel, and learning the Hebrew language, our exceptional program offers all of that and so much more.

In Budokan you have the unique opportunity to work with the top Israeli instructors of Krav Maga, Judo, Karate, Jiu Jitsu, and more. You do not need to have any experience with martial arts, as our program is geared towards beginners and our instructors will help you become the best you can be. There are even opportunities for extra training.

In terms of our travel experience, we look to keep things interesting, and have varied trips each month of the program. You will have an opportunity to travel south to ride camels, hike through the gorgeous plains of the desert, go to the Western Wall in the holy city of Jerusalem, enjoy the cultural city of Tel Aviv, and even get to participate in a week-long volunteer training program with the Israeli Defense Forces. During each of these trips, you will begin to uncover the deep and beautiful history of Israel, and come to understand how we were created and survive as a nation.

For the duration of the program, you will be living in comfortable dorm rooms of double or triple occupancy with all of the other participants. This social atmosphere is an amazing way to make lifelong friends from all around the world. Included with the program are three kosher meals daily, access to our facilities, which include a seasonal swimming pool, a football field, and our very own dojo. The campus is located in Kfar Saba, a quaint little town just slightly north of Tel Aviv. There is easy access to buses and trains, as well as a myriad of shops and restaurants to enjoy during your free time.

At Budokan Israel, we offer two separate sessions each calendar year: September–January or February–June, as well as an intensive 4-week program in July. Our Budokan Israel program offers a great opportunity for people who are between the ages of 18 and 30 who are looking to better themselves both physically and mentally. Our program is offered through Masa Israel, and is the only program of its kind. Nowhere else will you be able to study martial arts and experience Israel in such a unique and fun way as with our Budokan family.
