Most of those years were when I was a child…read more I was welcomed back by my childhood role models, and the entire dojo family, with open arms two years ago when I decided to join with my 6-year-old son. West End Dojo teaches Koei Kan Karate, a traditional Japanese martial art. Besides the obvious health benefits of living an active lifestyle, you will learn many other traditional aspects of the art. You will also become part of a family that pushes you to do better and to train harder every class. It's an amazing experience to be able to workout with my son, while we learn vital life lessons and techniques that we may need one day. I'm very thankful for my dojo family - they all have helped us become stronger, healthier people both physically and mentally.

That other dojo said "sure we'll sign him up but chances are he will have problems keeping up". My husband said "they are just being honest". But I knew I couldn't sign up my son there and ruin his first interest in something other than youtube and videogames. There had to better place for my boy and that's when I found PA Isshinryu Karate & Self Defense(40 minutes away from me).When I went to sign up my son, they asked me a bunch of questions about what my son could do and what he was afraid to do and then they said they would do private lessons (no extra fee) with him until he was ready to join the group. PA Isshinryu Karate & Self Defense have not let me down! They have so much patience and work so hard with my son. They have the magic touch. My son is never frustrated. They know how to distract, adapt and keep the mood fun. Every week my son becomes stronger and more confident. I love everything about PA Isshinryu Karate and I'm sure others will too.
