Dedicated to the Martial Arts
Known simply as "The Dojo" when we first opened in 1988, Best Martial Arts Institute has since established itself as
a respected part of the Eugene / Springfield, Oregon community. Under the guidance of Sensei Alan Best, the institute offers
training programs in a variety of disciplines for martial artists of all skill levels. From hosting seminars with world-renowned
masters, to holding sleepovers for kids; Best Martial Arts Institute is a place where teachers and dedicated students pursue the
martial arts with a passion. We train with intensity, sincerity, humility, joy, and a bit of humor to lighten the way.

Move Update
- We need a bit more time before we’re ready to train in the
new space. That means that classes will be held at our beautiful
churchill facility until further notice.
- The address is 2101 Bailey Hill Road

A Thorough Study of the Martial Arts
Sensei Best trained for six years as an apprentice under Shigeki
Umemoto, the founder of Toushi Kan Karate, and holds black belts in five
different martial arts. "Whatever your opponent's specialty is, be better at
it than he is," Mr. Umemoto used to say. With that attitude in mind, Sensei Best created an institute for
martial arts training. Inside our dojo you can find
dedicated students pursuing the arts of karate, taekwondo, hapkido, judo,
aikido, iaido, kendo, and systema.

August 2010
We now have access to another room next door to the Churchill dojo. We can hold two classes at a time (indoors) until the new BMAI opens.
Both locations are Air Conditioned. Classes have been awesome so come ready to work hard and have fun!
June 2010
After 22 fabulous years on WIllamette Street, BMAI is moving into a new home soon!
We will have a much bigger training floor, a huge parking lot, and, basically, an even better dojo than we already have.
It will be a very exciting move, but a sad farewell to our dojo family home. Don't worry, all the wonderful memories will be packed in the truck and taken with us!
Our new home?
795 Almaden Street.
