So far I have been enjoying taking MMA lessons here and plan on continuing to take MMA lessons here along with trying their other programs like Boxing. The instructors do a great job on explaining how to perform the techniques properly. If you are looking for a good martial arts gym to go to this is definitely a good one to try out, especially if you are looking for a gym that teaches techniques that work for self-defense.

if you want world-class martial arts training in a friendly, encouraging, and non-egotistical environment, this is the place. My son and I started training here years ago and enjoyed every moment. The variety of arts taught at this school is amazing. From Kali, to Jeet Kun do, to Muy Thai, combat submission wrestling, jiu jitsu, and Tae Kwon Do, training here never gets stale.More than that, you know that you are getting excellent training because the instructors are certified directly under world renowned masters like Guru Dan Inosanto, Leo Gaje, Ajarn Chai, and Eric Paulson. After learning the basics, Wes, Trish, Randy, William and the rest of the instructors encourage students to learn more than just techniques or rote moves; they learn body mechanics and physical principals that are adaptable to any situation.But best of all are the life-long friends that you'll meet. I met some of my best friends here. If you want a fun, challenging, martial arts gym that is top notch but also down to earth, you cannot go wrong with East Wind Academy.

If you even think about training in a martial art, then get off the couch and from behind your computer and go to East Wind Academy and check it out. Donāt take my word on it or anyone elseās!!!! This is about you!!!! The hour you spend talking to the owner, instructors and maybe participating in a free intro class will be the best hour of your week and maybe one of the most significant of your life.With that said here is my two centsā¦ā¦..East Wind Academy of Martial Arts is an outstanding place to train, study and learn Martial Arts. I have been training there for five years and can tell you the training never gets old, stale out of date. Hardly a week goes by that I donāt see a new technique, ārelearnā one, or see something that just amazes me. It is certainly not your "McDojo" where you can get a black belt in a year. The core curriculum covers a variety of arts and progresses through a working knowledge and strong foundation as a junior belt to gaining a high degree of skill as a senior belt.One of the things I like best is I can tailor the classes to suit my interests. I focus more on the real world, combat proven, arts and techniques and, and less on the sport fighting; but that is just me. The sport and cage fighting guys and gals are awesome at what they do.The most important thing about the gym is the people that I train with and learn from. I have met most of my closest friends and associates at East Wind Academy. We are a tight group in the school environment and out. The owner and staff are extremely dedicated to the students. The training environment is second to none. We learn from the instructors and feed off each other. Like anything you get out of it what you put in it.As for the comment on the kids class that was made belowā¦ā¦This person doesnāt have a clue as to what goes on in that class, especially after looking at a picture. I have watched shy and awkward children grow into strong, respectful and independent leaders; skilled at a variety martial arts. The instructor to child ratio in the kidās class is usually less than four kids to one adult. The kids donāt teach the classes, but as their skills develop, they are encourage them to take a leadership role.Back to what I said at the beginningā¦.. Iām there Monday through Thursday. Show up around 6pm and check it out. If you tell someone I sent you, they will find me in the school so we can train.
