Sensei Jayson Pilosi
My journey in martial arts began at the age of 4, shaping my daily life ever since. With two decades dedicated to training and coaching MMA, I possess a profound admiration for diverse martial systems and styles. Additionally, I am passionate about weaponry, considering myself a dedicated enthusiast.
Located in College Station, Texas, my family and I operate the Bushido Training Institute. While we actively participate in MMA and grappling tournaments worldwide, our primary focus lies in nurturing young talents. We have pioneered a distinctive rule set rooted in full-contact, padless training. This approach fosters both physical and emotional resilience, empowering students to harness inner strength and discipline.
Furthermore, our institute offers comprehensive weapons programs encompassing a spectrum from blades to lightsabers, catering to diverse interests and skills.
