My son joined just a few days ago. My wife was overwhelmed by the level of support and caring here. And I thought she was exaggerating. Turns out the Sensei engages every kid and every parent positively. And the experienced kids make sure the new kids are learning and engaged. We're here for the ninja skillls!

Super impressed! My 5 and 7 year olds started here recently, and what a great environment. Kids are learning and having fun and everyone is so positive and encouraging.

My daughter and my son have been students at this Karate school since February 2021. Both of the instructors (Mr. Loos, Mr. Koski) are professional, yet fun and outgoing. They are also easy to work with, and have good communication skills. My daughter's self esteem and confidence, have greatly improved since she started Karate. And it's a great way, for my son to burn off some energy. I was hesitant at enrolling my kids, due to some of their mental health concerns, but both instructors have been very patient, and understanding, which is hard to find these days. My son also had to miss some classes due to an injury at home, and the instructors worked with us around our schedule so he could make up the classes he missed. If you're looking for understanding instructors who will teach your kids respect and self defense, I highly recommend Dojo's Family Martial Arts!

This has been a wonderful experience for the whole family. My two children started when they were 8. What a great influence it has been, for my son and daughter, to take classes! Children thrive in the Dojo’s Family Martial Arts environment. Sensei Loos sets the tone of the WDM Dojo…. encouraging his team and students! He is patient, funny, attuned, and of integrity!! Great influence!! The parties throughout the year give children a chance to really play with others and build relationships!
