I had twin boys, aged 9 that attended Dojo Karate Waconia/Minnetonka for about 2 1/2 years. They…read morewere very disappointed that they had to dis-enroll for Covid related reasons. I wanted to share what we liked about Dojo and why we'll miss it: 1. Any great experience starts with great people. Master Cote was a great leader for the kids and she genuinely cared about her students. 2. Master Cote has produced some amazing athletes. My kids were always impressed by the abilities of the older kids. I don't think they'll ever stop talking about the time one student did a backflip. 3. Both of my boys absolutely loved the head instructor. He had great patience with all the kids and seemed like one of the most trustworthy people I've ever met. 4. I thought the pricing was extremely fair and Master Cote very easy to work with in regards to tuition. 5. My kids really enjoyed the Dojo tournaments and I thought they were very well run. Something I didn't think about when we started is, because of the size of Dojo with their multiple locations, they are able to put on large events like that. 6. I always like the different community focused initiatives that Dojo participated in. Food drives and school supply drives were great ways to engage the kids; and Dojo always had a special event to show their appreciate for the kids. Those are just some of the reasons that quickly come to mind. We're disappointed that it had to end, but my boys still walk around the house doing their moves.

I was looking for a…read moreschool that taught something a little different as I had already studied Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Tai Chi, Aikido and several other arts. MKG West offers Kali, Panantukan, Jun Fan, Jeet Kune Do (see Bruce Lee), Muay Thai, Kickboxing and self defense classes. Both Mike and Greg are excellent instructors who show great skill in easily explaining and demonstrating techniques yet allowing you to progress at your own pace. There is no hard sell; "give us $$$ and we guarantee you a (color) belt". This is more traditional master-student style instruction but in an exceptionally friendly environment. Since progressing in Kali I have also enjoyed both the Kickboxing and Muay Thai classes; after studying at several of the top Martial Art schools in the twin cities I am amazed at how much harder people work in these classes. It's a real workout! I highly recommend this school for anyone looking to study unique martial arts or simply to add to their existing skills.
