We have loved watching our kids grow mentally and physically through West Coast Martial Arts in Reno. The team is dedicated to helping develop their students into strong community members, especially Denice! They’re amazing! Highly recommend their studio all ages!

Our kids have practiced under KJN Denice for 5 years. They started at their nearby elementary school, where she brought her “mobile marital arts” studio to them once a week after school. There they developed their love for marital arts and eventually moved over to the Studio as full time students. Ms Denice and her studio quickly became a mainstay in our family. She’s SO GREAT with the kids, developing their sense of self and growing their confidence. The kids are all advancing in belts and are always excited to go to class. We’d highly recommend this studio for kids of all ages!

It’s a special skill to teach kids, keep them interested, and communicate in ways that resonate and that’s what Miss Denice does. Both my kids started when they were 4 and both loved martial arts for many years. Not to mention all of the other life skills and discipline they learned. It was time very well spent.

My son loved this studio and staff. Everyone is friendly, encouraging and knowledgeable, beyond that the personal aspect, where members are treated like family, not clients. Would still be attending if we hadn’t moved out of town.

Our two children (one boy and one girl) are (or have) participated in the Ninja program at WCMA, and they both love it. Our 8-year-old has now graduated and is continuing in the kid’s program. We have been coming to the studio for over two years, and it is an amazing program. Self-defense aside, KJN Denice has created a program and family that has been so valuable in nearly every aspect of life. Our children have learned self-discipline, integrity, commitment, and can carry themselves in confidence. Ms. Denice is an amazing human and instructor. We lack the words to completely describe how amazing she is with the kids of all ages. it is something you must see and experience for yourself. All of Ms. Denice’s team of instructors also are amazing. SBN Parminder, BSBN Kaitlyn, BSBN Ben, BSBN Shane, CGN Enzo, keep up the astounding work!! It is because of you all that our family always leaves better than when we come in. So happy to have started the WCMA program and look forward to seeing how much our kids grow.
