3 of our kids are a part of West Coast. My oldest daughter has loved karate since she was first introduced to it at 5 years old - which honestly surprised us. She has ADHD and anxiety. Her struggles to maintain focus and constant fear frustrates her and those around her. The martial arts techniques don’t come easily or naturally to her, but the instructors have great patience and have continued to support her on her journey. She’s had to learn to face failure and overcome it - building resilience she desperately needs. She claims West Coast has taught her to focus and gives her tons of confidence, and it shows not just in her martial arts progress but her daily life! Her younger sister, who also has ADHD, has been part of West Coast for almost 2 years now too. She’s often unfocused and impulsive, but the instructors are showing her the same patience and high demand of excellence! She’s still often struggling but she has come so far - and her behavior at school and home has improved drastically! My youngest son has now joined the toddler class and he loves how engaging and active it is. He’s also learning how to control his body and focus - which is challenging for any toddler! We love being a part of the West Coast family!
WE LOVE WEST COAST MARTIAL ARTS!!! Over the last 3 years, their team has proven to be endlessly encouraging and patient. They build confidence, character and teach life lessons about responsibility and personal safety. I am so proud of my son's growth. They create an amazing community for the entire family with events year round. ❤️ They make each student feel valued and encourage them at their own pace. It amazes me how they work with such a wide spectrum of abilities and model acceptance for all with special needs.
My son has attended Karate here since he was 4, Amari is now 9. He has been tested mentally and physically and with the help of teachers like KJN Ben and his amazing staff he has risen and accepted every challenge. If you’re looking for a safe space for your child to learn discipline, respect and how to do a pretty cool front kick this is the place! Come check them out!
I love this place! My son started in march of 2025 was very in a she’ll and didn’t want to do much but play his video games and stay home. Now into almost August 2025 and he is out of his shell having fun and I see so much confidence in him since starting. I would recommend this place a million times over! Come sign your kids up for a free class! So worth the money!
This was the third martial arts studio that we tried and was the only place that my son truly enjoyed from the very first session. Our son has learned ways to defend himself along with the importance of hard work, growth and respect; both in and out of the studio. All the instructors truly care about the kids and know how to make class a healthy balance of hard work and fun.
