    All I can say is WOW! After trying another martial arts place in town, that was in a large fancy…read morefacility, and cost $139 per person per month, with 30 min classes twice per week, I was so happy to find Nakagawa Martial arts! Run by a true Japanese martial arts Master, sensei Kenji Nakagawa is the REAL DEAL! Taught by his own Japanese master when he was in Japan, he brought this amazing Enshindo Martial Arts here to Montana, and has been teaching many generations of children and adults alike! I'm not even kidding, he has been teaching here in Helena for upwards of around 38 years or so I think, and has been such an incredible asset to the community for so long. I mean my neighbors kids are all grown up and moved away but they had all gotten their black belts when they were young! I just feel so fortunate to have found this place while he is still teaching. I was able to take the beginner classes with my 8 year old daughter, and instead of $139 per month for each of us for 30 minute classes, it's $60 per month each, for ONE HOUR CLASSES!! There is simply no comparison. Unfortunately I hurt my achilles tendon and had to stop the classes but my daughter continues and I hope to go back when I'm able. Mr. Nakagawa makes the classes really fun for kids with lots of games that help with coordination and teamwork, in addition to the actual martial arts moves. Also he incorporates doing the right thing in life, and helps with kids that have behavior issues. Sure, it's not in a new fancy building, but it's WAY better than ANY of the competition. I cannot recommend Nakagawa Martial Arts academy any higher that I am. Mr. Nakagawa is truly a gem in this community and every community needs amazing people like this. You cannot go wrong at Nakagawa Martial Arts.
