The instructors are basically superhero sidekicks: patient, energetic, and somehow able to wrangle a room full of sugar-powered kids with nothing but a smile. My child went from shy and unsure to confidently karate-chopping imaginary bad guys in the living room. Plus, he now says, "Yes, ma'am!" when I ask him to clean their room. (He still doesn't do it, but hey, progress.) Highly recommend-your kid will love it, and you'll get at least 30 minutes of peace after each class. Total win.

This dojo is deliberate in creating a balance between kata, kumite (sparring), and basics. It is also set as a traditional Japanese dojo teaching Wado Ryu Karate. This is not a cut-throat plaza mall dojo, like the Cobra Kai in "Karate Kid", that teaches students to harm each other and fight as a primary resource to resolving a physical confrontation. If you are looking for a fight club, look elsewhere. That being said, my son specializes in fighting here and does very well. He has participated in over 30 tournaments in AZ, CA, UT, CO, and NV. He has won several of these, and usually medals at every event. He is part of a competition team that takes extra time to train in fighting and competing. I am confident in his abilities. The dojo is restructuring, and growing, and all for the better. It has the best workshops, training clinics, guest speakers, and REAL tournament training by far. I couldn't be more proud to recommend it to anyone looking for polished and professional, traditional Japanese technique and practical self-defense instruction.

Master Choi is amazing with the kids. He's firm but really kind, and you can tell he cares. Since starting, my daughter's behavior has improved a lot--she's more focused, respectful, and confident. The pricing is super reasonable, and the class schedule works well for us as working parents, especially with her being in that 4-5 age group. The environment is really welcoming and supportive. I also love that there are older black belt students who help guide the little ones--they make the kids feel comfortable and teach them the importance of respect in the studio. I'm honestly so happy we found this place. I can be pretty picky about what my daughter gets involved in, and this has definitely been a great choice for her.

There are great instructors and just because they tell you they are ready for the next belt doesn't mean you have to let your kid do it if you want to slow them down. With proper instructors who care about the kids and not the money I think martial arts is great for kids!! I recommend trying out a couple different places until you find what you're looking for for your child. If you just wanna give away money and let your kid THINK he's the next Bruce Lee then go to a "belt factory"!! They usually have a cheap 1 month "trial", so try it out and see what you think. Then you can decide which place is good for your kid long term.

Most dojos are money making machines, charging for each belt color and promotions. Watashi No Dojo is a very traditional martial arts studio.
