…WHILE MAKING SURE THEY HAVE A TON OF FUN

GIVE YOUR KIDS THE LIFELONG GIFTS OF PERSONAL SUCCESS, CONFIDENCE, DISCIPLINE AND SELF-DEFENSE

Stress & fitness improved

Between the foods we eat and the constant sitting and staring at screens and devices, many of us aren’t getting enough regular exercise. Our martial arts classes are full exercise routines disguised as a boatload of fun! That’s because they are jam packed with activities, drills, and even adult-approved games – all designed to disguise the repetition of exercise.

It’s never too late to start karate. Our classes will help keep you on track to reach your personal fitness goal – all in a supportive and fun environment!

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

The best instructors, and programs available. Karate West is the gold standard for martial arts training for all ages and abilities.

Tom Abbott

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!

Ashley Conner

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.

Ionut Ciprian Gradinaru

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.

Jennifer Colcleaser Jaddi

I attended this school as a teen until I left for college and I can honestly say that Karate West is on of the reasons that I am a successful adult today. This school not only teaches students martial arts but arguably more important are the life skills they show their students. I owe Karate West and it team of amazing teachers and assistants for my success in life.

Michael Carrell

Excellent school, totally earned my respect. Highly recommended!

NOLBERTO PARRA

Karate West has been my dojo for more than 20 years. The leadership and integrity are, in a word, Excellent. Domo Ariagato.

TIM HEINER

I knew nothing about martial arts when our sons started training at Karate West almost 5 years ago (they were ages 4 y and 8 y). In fact I thought it might make them fight. But now I'm so glad we gave it a try! They have learned leadership skills and how to stand up to bullies (without fighting). They've learned about healthy lifestyle and goal setting. My shy little boy found his confidence and my busy little boy found his focus. We've also made some awesome friends and the boys have found a passion that keeps challenging them both physically and mentally!

LAURA-MARIA WOOD

What skills will my child learn to help themselves do better in school?

Martial arts training teaches focus, discipline, self-control, and respect. These traits help children let go of petty grievances and learn to pay attention to the things that are most important to their future success.

My child isn’t physically coordinated. Will they get hurt?

No. Our instructors are experienced working with children of all abilities and ages. Your child will learn at a pace that is comfortable for them, and in environment that puts their physical safety first.

Can martial arts help my child have faith in their abilities?

Yes. Kids who study martial arts learn that hard and persistent work pays off. Each small success helps children believe in themselves and have faith they can achieve their next goal.

I don’t want my child getting into fights. Won’t martial arts make them want to fight?

No. Martial arts has its roots in self-defense, but we teach children that violence is not the answer to their problems.

My child hates sports – won’t they hate martial arts too?

Some kids who come to us are resistant at first, but martial arts instruction is both fun and active. Many kids think that martial artists are cool and that can help them stick with it even if it’s hard at first.

My child is out of control. Can martial arts help my child?

Yes. Self-control is essential to the study of martial arts, and our students learn that they must be the masters of their actions and emotions.

MORE BENEFITS
