My son and I are taking karate classes to have an activity we do for fun together. Mr. Mike, Mrs. Maria, and the rest of their team has been so much fun to work with. They do an exceptional job of tailoring the classes to the age group. They are dedicated to providing a fun and effective learning environment. We have so much fun going to Saturday in the park, karate tournaments, and belt tests. 100% recommend especially for parents with kids looking for a way to spend a few quality hours a week with their kids.

"I've been a part of Thurston Shaolin Kempo for nearly three years now, and I can confidently say that the instructors are exceptional. Their guidance has not only helped me build self-confidence but has also had a positive impact on my family. I have a pre-teen family member whose behavior has significantly improved since joining. Thurston Shaolin Kempo is an excellent place to learn martial arts, and I am eager to share this positive experience through a glowing review."

Mike and Maria are two of the most knowledgeable, friendliest and skillful instructors in the Willamette Valley. They are great at helping people over come their issues with stress, anger, weight loss. Their dojo is open and inviting to all. They know how to train their people to stay safe in dangerous situations. Plus they are both Veterans!
