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.

Just wanted to review this horrible gym! Just kidding!!! It's really hard to put into words what…read morethis academy has become to me and my son... We stumbled in 14 months ago, not knowing what to expect, and here we stand both training ...my son has become a great competitor and I'm falling back in love with the sport at 51 years of age....and its due to the patience and guidance of Tanner and Chris Longo....don't be mislead...all the coaches are amazing and helpful...the most precious thing to my son and I, is the sense of family and community...I look forward to training and seeing what the future holds for Rice bros and us....either way we're totally committed to this Gym....thanks guys we love yall

The coaches are top-tier, answering all questions and making sure everyone understands the techniques. The facility is clean, spacious, and equipped with everything you need for a great session. The sense of community here is incredible everyone is supportive and encouraging, making it a fantastic environment to train and grow in. Classes are well-structured, and there's a perfect balance of technique, and sparring.

Second, I learned things on the FIRST day that I could use in a self defense situation. The instructor is fun, knowledgeable and professional. He is someone I look forward to learning from. I'm definitely hooked! As a woman, you can never be too prepared or empowered. These classes give you both! I had such a great endorphin high afterward. Ill be a regular from here on out for SURE! The prices are beyond reasonable and you don't need to buy a bunch of stuff to get going. Bottom line: fitness, fun, self defense and something totally different from what you have been doing thus far. I can't recommend it highly enough!

White Tiger Studios is a great place for both kids and adults to learn Kenpo Karate…read more My son has been going to White Tiger Studios for about 3 years now and loves going. He has learned so much and the whole experience has been great for him. Jesse (the owner) works very well with my son and the other kids in the class. He makes learning Karate fun, but still keeps the kids inline so they keep focused and learn what they are supposed to learn. The cost of the lessons is very reasonable and the classes are twice a week. Jesse also does private lessons and for $20.00 for an hour it is a great deal. White Tiger Studios is great for almost any age of student, from 4-5 years old to adult. I look forward to hopefully many more years of taking my son to White Tiger Studios and Jesse to continue learning Karate.

In response to the negative review, that decision was made because on multiple occasions many of the parents in the waiting area smelled so strongly of marijuana. That in combination with around 30 children sweating made for a ripe atmosphere. Personally, I was appreciative of Mr. Zapata's stance on that issue.

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!

He's been allowed to help the younger children and been given responsibility as seen fit. He enjoys coming to class very much. Coach is the kind to push someone past their ability because he sees potential, but not past the point where kids would lose confidence in themselves. It's a fine balance and I appreciate having someone coaching my son who understands and acknowledges this. Also, it's funny because a lot of parents fear that putting their kids in to a fighting class will promote violence but it has done the opposite. My son hasn't gotten in trouble for fighting or any other physical altercations in the past six years. We'll continue coming here!
