The staff are very welcoming, friendly and seem to take a personal interest in the students, it was nice to be welcomed by name only my second visit. Being new to the world of martial arts, it can be a little overwhelming on what to do or where to go. East West answered all my questions and helped guide me in the right direction of my personal goals.

My quiet, kind 9 yr old grandson, a 5 year student at EWMA, recently had his training tested while playing at a neighborhood park. He and his older cousin brought light sabers to share with any kids they met there and a friendly battle began. It soon became apparent that a bigger boy was an aggressive bully that the kids tried to avoid. The bully singled out my grandson, chasing him and repeatedly hit him on the head; something all the kids had agreed was not fair play. Having had enough of the rough play, my grandson firmly gripped his double ended light saber with both hands and with what was clearly Figure 8 Bo Staff Defense, blocked the blows while backing the bully across the playing field until he gave up and went away. My grandson was not aware that his training had kicked in automatically. He had tried to avoid the bully, did not start a fight but only defended himself. Thank you EWMA for instilling the confidence and determination in my grandson that he needed that day.

My son was very nervous and didn't want to come inside. He was sitting on a bench outside the building. Someone who worked there came outside and was super nice to my son explained that it would be fun and he would show him around. My son has anxiety He's 7 and he made him very comfortable! The other employee told me that's the owner! So shout out to the owner!!! Thank you!!!! The private lesson was great got it free from the mall. Will be for sure signing up. I think this is a great fit for self esteem and focus where we are trying to improve in. Thanks so much!

I'll cut to the chase and say that I'm a BIG fan of what they have going on at the Hazel Dell location. I got started with self defense a little later than normal (37 yrs old) and each staff member has made the process really accessible. Martial arts can be intimidating at times but Eric, Tre, Mike, etc are always happy to lend a hand even if it's a few extra questions after class. If you're even remotely on the fence about joining, I HIGHLY suggest it. I've been in Krav for about a year and I feel like I've learned so much. I can't wait to get my daughter involved in the younger classes when the time is right. To sum it all up: all the thumbs up for the crew there. They really go out of their way to bring out the best in each student Thank you, East West Martial Arts!

East West Martial Arts is simply amazing. Their passion for instructing kids in martial arts is second to none. But what I want to most praise them for right now is their birthday party hosting skills. We recently hosted our youngest son's party here. To say it was the experience of a life time is an understatement. The hostess, Ms. Evelyn was superb. Her skills in keeping the kids involved, smiling, and having a good time was a true blessing. My son and all he guest never stopped having a good time. She transitioned them with flawless ease from one activity to the next. Giving me, the mom, the ability to ensure the pure delight of my child's celebration without concern and stress. I simply cannot recommend them enough, giving them 5 stars doesn't simply like enough!!!

Our daughter went here for about a year and had a very positive experience. There are classes and instructors that cater to the level of the student. Minus one star because they are very sales focused and are always trying to push something - it can seem a bit intense.
