I brought my son in as a wild, high energy 7 year old who couldn't sit still in class for 5 minutes (let alone stop talking for a second ), who at 9 is a respectful, attentive, active participant in all his classes (judo and at school). He is in great shape now and really strives to learn in class. I couldn't be more proud of the young man he is becoming, and I think I owe so much of that to judo, and more specifically, Sensei Tom and Highlands judo dojo. Sensei Tom is an incredibly patient and attentive teacher, who grew up himself in judo and uses his own stories to help the kids understand the important of respect and tradition. The dojo is clean and safe and follows all of the (ever changing) Covid guidelines. My son couldn't be happier, and we as a family could not be more grateful. Highly, truly recommend.

After the open house and meeting Sensei Tom, we decided to try this place as well. Sensei Tom has one heck of a job wrangling everybody from age 6 to 60 in his classes. He's a freaking SAINT when you see his youngest class. Sensei Tom is the perfect mix of patience and discipline for that age group. He must get frustrated at times but it doesn't show. I love watching the kids try new exercises and work together. The dojo itself is clean, doesn't smell, and perfectly simple.

One of my proudest moments in life was when I joined the Washington Shotokan Association Dojo. The dojo is a delightful spotless and clean, dedicated facility with a floating wood floor and large changing rooms with showers. It's a great place to learn traditional Japanese karate and grow as a person with smart, gracious, and learned educators. they are profoundly dedicated to their students. You can enjoy adult and youth programs. Whether you are looking for a good workout that will teach you self-defense or want an activity for the kids that will teach them discipline and respect while keeping them physically active, WSA dojo is the perfect choice. I had the opportunity to attend different classes with different instructors. At anytime I was very happy to learn to practice differently, something is important to have the passion, and need to learn with love, feeling and respect, you'll never regret. I'm thankful to every one of the educators, senseis, sempais, and understudies I had the delight of meeting in every one of the classes I joined in. All those memories stay alive forever. I continue training nonstop, keeping in my mind and in practice the principles of the repeated Dojo Kun: * Seek perfection of character * Be Faithful * Endeavor * Respect others * Refrain from violent behavior Oss! I hope return to train with you, with my family WSA, soon. With warmest regards, Miloud B.

Well this all went out the window when the pandemic hit and our then 5th grader was stuck home for essentially three years. Around the two year mark we tried floating ideas by them, they tried to go back to basketball, nope no interest. So when I found Z-Ultimate I was convinced that this would be another hit and miss - but boy was I wrong. First of all going into this place they were SO warm and welcoming. They focused their attention on my child and not me, and made sure they understood what was going on and what the process would be. When my kid told me this was the place they wanted to be, they walked me through the pricing in a very clear and efficient was and scheduled out our personal lessons on the spot. In addition to all the above they are so cognizant of anxiety and great with personal pronouns. I cannot thank Z-Ultimate enough for their dedication to my child.

I've learned so much and just continue to learn over and over again. The focus they've given me and the understanding they've given me of Okinawain Karate is mind blowing. This school has brought so much to my family and they have all became part of our family. Words can't even describe the gratitude I have for them. They are so compassionate, meet you where your at, and bring you up from there. I would highly recommend this school. It would be one of the best decisions you could ever make. Thank you for reading! Have a wonderful day and may God bless you and your families!
