Our family has done the Tiny Tigers Program up to Krav Maga and Kung Fu. The instructors are excellent, knowledgeable, and always make you feel welcome. We really couldn't ask for more!

I started taking Krav Maga classes at East West last fall when I was recovering from cancer treatment. I was exhausted every day and very out of shape. I've been a student for over a year now, and it has changed my life. I'm more physically fit, self-confident, and happier than I've ever been. The instructors are all very skilled, professional, and friendly. Krav Maga has changed my life and the environment is so wonderful that I also have my four year old daughter enrolled in their Tiny Tigers program. It has done wonders for her as well! I highly urge anyone who has ever thought about martial arts training or who just wants to get fit and learn some self defense to enroll in classes. It's so much better than a gym membership, if you ask me.

We have loved our experience at East West Martial Arts. They have great instructors that support students. My son is getting his junior black belt next month and I have done the adult Krav Maga classes.

As a single grandma raising a 5 year old,I didn't expect the experience I have had in just 2 months. My grandson loves Mr. Ken and Mr. Eric. He is learning and it may not seem that he is but I can see the improvement. We do take the discipline seriously and it is working at home. This has been the best decision we have made. It's not just an investment in his fun but in his future and I really like that.

Our son Emerson has now been a student at EWMA for over 3 years - he loves it even more than the day he first began. The instructors are incredible and really tailor their training for each student - and always in a positive manner. We love EWMA!!

Krav Maga reviewPROS:-Good physical conditioning experience-Good teamwork experience-(Mostly) friendly peopleCONS-$120 a month (plus fees)-You must pay for the uniform (price varies)-$300 in fees and expenses to advance the next level-You're striking the air and fighting ghosts and pads, instead of people (beginning)I'm still fairly new so I'm going to re-evaluate them after my first year. Hopefully much has changed in my experience when I advance. The beginning stage needs some serious improvement; I was expecting something a bit more para-military, considering the nature of real Krav Maga.

My son has been attending East West Martial Arts for 2 years now. He started when he was 4 years old and persurvered for two years. He just graduated with his Dragon Star Belt, in Little Champions. I asked him before his graduation if he wanted to continue on into Black Belt Training. His answer to me was that he needed to take a little break. He said he still wanted to go back someday, in hopes to be invited on the XMA team. So, we were set to take a quarter off. Well, the very next karate class day after graduation, he asked me why we weren't going to class. I looked at him very surprised and refreshed his memory of what he asked for. He gets so inspired by watching the older kids, XMA team and Demo team performances that he apparently changed his mind. Off the next day we went to sign him up for Black Belt Training. He was so happy to be at class, with his friends that he has grown with for the last two years. Not to mention, spending quality time with the instructors that he is inspired by. Thank you, East West for helping our son to grow in a safe and comfortable environment.

My two boys have attended classes at East West Martial Arts for the past 9 years and I couldn't be more pleased with their kids Karate programs as well as the adult Kung Fu and Krav Maga classes. All the instructors are fabulous and have always made my family feel as they were part of their family. If you are looking for a place for your children to train where they receive life skills as well as excellent martial arts training then you should definitely give East West a try.

Our son takes classes here and they have definitely helped him improve in his confidence and discipline. He is more focused now and continues to set & meet personal goals. It has even helped him make great decisions in school. I don't anticipate him becoming the next Bruce Lee or anything, but I do feel like he is learning basic defensive maneuvers that he can use in real life situations. This may not be the school for everyone so you should definitely take advantage of the discounted promos they have and the one-on-one intro sessions. (We had ours with Ms. Gigi and she is the coolest. She's really positive and motivating)

This school does not teach the true martial meaning and their concept is simply money, money and people who are very fit. if you are an adult looking for common sense self defense do not go to this school. if you are looking for a workout and a place full of egos then you found your place.
