Chief Instructor

Steel meets silent breath,
Roots grow deep through steady practice,
Spirit bows, unbroken.

Victor Acebo, Chief Instructor of Florida Budo, brings decades of experience in traditional Japanese martial arts and a lifelong commitment to preserving the authentic teachings of the Samurai and Ninja as taught by the Bujinkan Dojo, Noda Citiy Japan

Sensei Acebo offers students a comprehensive education that blends physical technique with mental focus and spiritual growth. He founded Florida Budo to create a supportive, non-competitive environment where individuals of all ages and skill levels can build resilience, balance, and confidence both on and off the mat.

Guided by his vision, training at Florida Budo becomes more than practice, it is a path of honor, strength, and personal transformation.

Instructor

The spine’s gentle flow,
Healed by hands in quiet grace
Like a passing breeze.

Administrator

In the blade’s shadow,
The heart casts its reflection
The wind comes to rest.

This haiku captures the moment of tension just before or after a decisive clash when both combatants understand that the battle isn't only physical, but deeply spiritual.
