Master Wells has created a wonderful environment for students of all ages to learn martial arts! The Mercer Island community is blessed by her dedication and wealth of knowledge and experience. Highly recommend signing up for classes- no matter your age!

My kids have been going here for years and both absolutely love it! Graham is a super star instructor who really knows how to teach kids. Master Wells has been running this gem of a community organization for what’s now 2 generations for some families…. And I can understand the longevity! Discipline, commitment, effort, flexibility, academics all rolled into one convenient and flexible after school activity! (They also have camps but they fill up fast and we have yet do to them). Cannot recommend highly enough.
