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!

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.

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.

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!

He had an injury to his ribs and a sprained thumb. In December of 2006 I enrolled David at RJA and I have never regretted my decision. David did Kenpo and Jujitsu in the last month of 2006. David started as a no-gi and had to earn his gi. David is now a Senior Green Belt. David is only taught by black belts and professors. Students assist instructors but children's safety comes first. He has not had any injuries at Redding Jujitsu in the 8 years he has been there. He is in high school now, so his grades take priority. This school is the Best of the Best.

I was able to push him away gently, without escalating the situation, but firm enough to deliver the message that his behavior was not ok. It happened almost instantly. With my determined gesture he let me go right away. It was the most liberating experience. In my past, I would not have known what to do, I would freeze, letting him harass me further, probably end up being upset about it for days and weeks. I think this type of situation can happen to anyone, not just to women. Training helps me to prepare for the unexpected and builds my confidence. Furthermore, it shapes my body and mind. My attitude is a lot brighter now and people have commented that I look much more confident. The instructors are so dedicated and passionate about what they are doing. And they are so capable! They are my role models. I look forward to my classes every time. Joining Shotokan Karate was one of the best choices in my life.
