West Coast Martial Arts Academy

Dec 2023

My kids joined the local karate class and am thoroughly impressed. The instructors are skilled, patient, and dedicated to fostering a positive learning environment. The classes are well-structured, combining traditional martial arts with practical self-defense techniques. The sense of community among students adds to the overall experience. I highly recommend this karate class for anyone seeking effective training in a supportive and welcoming setting.

Absolutely amazing. My kids have only been going for a month but they already love it so much! The program is great for all ages and the principles and philosophy they teach is top notch. I can't wait to see how much they learn and how much confidence they receive. Thanks Will!

We are not karate students, but found WCMAA while searching online for birthday party venues. All my son wanted to do for his 7th birthday was to have an "epic" Nerf battle with his close friends and classmates. I submitted an inquiry on their website and the studio owner, Will, quickly responded. Booking process was easy and seamless and Will was quick to reply to subsequent emails. On the day of the party, we were greeted by two young, but experienced instructors. They were beyond helpful from unloading our car and assisting with setup, to confidently organizing all party games and activities. The instructors also gave our younger guests extra attention, demonstrating how to shoot the Nerf blasters and offering lots of supportive encouragement. Additionally, they ensured everyone was included in the fun and avoided injury by enforcing "safe play" rules and happily rearranged obstacles at the kids' requests. Their enthusiasm, solid crowd control, and positive attitude elevated the whole party experience, which allowed the adults to relax and comfortably socialize while the kids played. At the conclusion of the event, the instructors fully handled clean up and helped us get our belongings to our car. Guns, foam bullets and protective eyewear were provided for use by WCMAA, as well as an indoor "party room" space, two immaculate onsite restrooms and ample seating. Also included was the use of the entire karate studio. Having a truly private party made the event a lot more enjoyable and less chaotic than other parties we've attended in shared space setups. My son can't stop talking about all the fun he had at "the best birthday party ever" and is already campaigning to do the same thing next year. Honestly, what more can you ask for? #momwin
