Eastside Family Karate provides my two polar opposite kids with valuable lessons that extend beyond karate. My youngest started at age 4 and one of the first things I noticed was the way karate provided discipline and practice following instructions without punishment or a sense of negativity. My son was easily motivated by his sensei’s fun and active approach to instruction. Four years later, karate is as much intellectual as physical for him, providing a growth mindset that he needs. That focus on growth is important for my daughter, too. Karate is a key part of her transformation from a quiet, shy girl who is afraid to do new things to a quiet, shy girl who has as much confidence in her heart and tiny body as she does her mind. We love being part of the community at the Eastside dojo, a very supportive place to learn, be active, and make friends.

I originally brought my son here because he was being bullied at school. He is on the Autism Spectrum and I was assured he would be worked with the best way for him. He has been treated with respect in the most amazing way. I am now taking classes with him! I highly recommend doing so with your child(ren). This is a family environment that opens opportunities and confidence for everyone. My son has blossomed since starting here and has goals for the future. He was shy and quiet and now walks with his head up looking others in the eye (if you know kids on the spectrum that doesn't happen!) The Senseis and Teachers here are kind and patient yet know when to push you because they see your potential. Sensei Hernly, Sensei Ben, Sensei Tong, and Mr. Henry are eager to teach and genuinely love what they do. They are here for the students and nothing more.

I dont have a child enrolled here but my nephew is enrolled and he loves it. My brother says the discipline that is taught is unmatched. Excellent for teaching young ones the right path in life!

I love to see my son learning new things, and this place has been so good for him. After just a few weeks I can see his focus and discipline improve.
