    I have been a student at Northwest Martial Arts for many years. Not only will you learn…read moreself-defense, but also build confidence and discipline. If you put in the time, effort and energy, the knowledge gained, as well as the physical, mental and emotional aspects, is beneficial even when not on the mat. Sifu Alan Myrtle is patient, wants the best of each and every student, and would like for you to learn some martial arts history as well as "THE WHY" we do certain movements, etc. During lessons, we have seriousness, as well as sense of humor thrown in there! This creates a balance. I highly recommend Northwest Martial Arts. PS. The dojo is located same side of Safeway but across the street next to Jack's donuts!

    My son and I have been students here for 2 years. Sifu Alan Myrtle is great with the kids and…read moreadults. You can tell he has been teaching kids for a long time. He is calm and encouraging with them. He also requires they respect him and each other. They love his games! He encourages the kids to compete in Forms/kata and sparring/kumite. The school does well at competitions. For the adults he is a wealth of knowledge on Kenpo and several other styles. Starting you slow and continually letting you in on some more info that helps you get better. Teaching is always sprinkled with a bit of humor. Some of his own black belts help teach classes.

    Very impressed with this academy. They have exceeded my expectations. First impression and point of…read morecontact is Kellie. She is highly organized and so helpful. I appreciate that there is someone available to answer questions about new memberships/billing. Very professional. The kids class is massive and they have plenty of instructors on the mat to help. Instruction here is top notch. It's kind of expected that you'll get "thrown to the wolves" when you start jiu jitsu as there are really no "basics/beginner course"; you just immerse and catch up eventually (unless you pay extra for personals). I appreciate that they see when someone needs help and they provide it, instead of leaving you lost and floundering. As for adults class, everyone is friendly and respectful. There are no women's classes (that's fine) and males and females are mixed in class but they do a great job with the culture to ensure the women don't feel intimidated. The female black belt instructors do an amazing job at putting new female students at ease. Everyone is so nice and respectful and I have not had any negative experiences. More emphasis on self-defense aspect here, which I appreciate. Very realistic. But they'll also get you competition-ready if that's your goal too. I appreciate the structure, discipline, and higher expectation here. Quality team and families. Highly recommend!

    There was a miscommunication that led me to write a very negative review in August 2024. However,…read morethe gym owner contacted me and sorted things out in a respectful and professional manner. I had a very positive experience at this school; I immediately felt welcomed , the mats were always very clean, and the teachers were not only clear communicators but were also encouraging regardless of experience level. I would heartily recommend this school to anyone looking to begin or continue their training!
