We all love Karate West. Our entire family takes lessons and the staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They tie in school and community with the classes. It's great to be able to participate as a family.
Jeff Jensen
Great instructors that make learning fun.
Samyak Sue
Our son's 3rd grade teacher recommended Karate West because our son is super shy (unlike our oldest child!!) and we wanted to put him in something that would help build him up and bring him out of his shell. But when we got to our first lesson, our son wouldn't get out of the car!!! One of the teachers saw our struggles and she actually came out to the car and talked to him, encouraging him to just come inside and watch. It did the trick!! He only watched for a few minutes before jumping into class. He loved it and talked about it all night. It was a great day and he can't wait to go again next week!!

Great place to learn Karate also to learn focus and discipline. Great for the kids. My aunt is a black belt and my son just started attending, he is six. His focus has improved already and his attitude and demeanor have also improved. I would recommend this place , definitely.

A great community. Students learn life skills as well as self defense.
Ionut Ciprian Gradinaru
Great school, the kids have a lot of fun and the instructors are very serious. When you see a kid with a black belt you know they worked a lot to reach there.
Maki Tepordei
Amazing school, amazing team, lots of hard work but also fun! Both my kids have been training here for close to 10 years. Karate West is family.

Me and my two girls go to Karate West, we couldn’t ask for a better place to supply our girls with a large number of role models.

I went to Karate West as a child and now my two boys are students at the Issaquah Dojo. While Karate West is a large school, they do an amazing job of creating personal connections with the students and parents. I highly recommend Karate West!

Responsibility is one of the most valuable skills children can learn — and one of the hardest for parents to consistently teach.

Yet responsibility is what prepares them to be dependable, successful, and confident teens and adults. Parents often […]
