Can I take a minute to give a big shout out to my dojo! I've been studying here at WestWind for the…read morepast 5.5 years now, and little did I know how much it would change my life. I came into contact with the studio at the What Women Want Expo in April of 2017, and Mr. Kaneshiro, our head master of all three schools (Midvale, Sandy, and Kearns) was giving out VIP cards and had the promo of try a free month of karate for Women's month when you buy a gi ($20). I thought I'd try it for just the month, and a month got me interested enough to try a year. I didn't think I'd stay past a year, but here I am 5.5 years later having grown mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually and still working towards my black belt. To say this dojo has been life changing is an understatement for me, as I am not the same person who started 5.5 years ago. I have gained so much more confidence in myself as a person, and have learned to let go of a lot of the unnecessary junk that weighs one down in the day to day. I've also learned curriculum, which is broken down in each rank, continue to work on katas, and have been creating my own techniques, as required in the higher ranks. WestWind also has an annual Challenge (inter-school tournament) that challenges one to step outside their comfort zone to try something new or overcome the fear or performing in front of others. Our school is broken down into Early & Basic Skills (ages 3-6 y/o) and Karate 7 y/o+. It's great getting to learn alongside children and adults. You learn a great deal of control in the process. WWKS also has weapons and other techniques seminars throughout the year to prepare for disarming and future technique creations (for higher ranks). I can't say enough good things about the teaching and senseis (instructors). They really take the time to help you understand your movements, and they care about you personally. They want to see you succeed and surpass them. It's a big family with everyone working together to reach their goals and learn in the process. Thank you, WestWind! No

When we brought him to Karate, the scene was, once again, all too familiar. He just wanted to sit on the sidelines overwhelmed by the noise and energy of the environment. Ryder, Mr Page and the rest of this remarkable team of teachers stayed ultra-patient and fully engaged with our boy. We came day after day after day. They NEVER gave up on him or us, always eager to offer 1-on-1 help and gentle encouragement. Little by little, he came around. Now Karate is his FAVORITE thing. But it didn't stop there...his confidence, discipline, teamwork, focus, attention span and eagerness to join in on group learning have ALL improved dramatically. If you're looking for something to help your child excel in all areas of life, I highly recommend checking out Bobby Lawrence Karate. They are a hidden gem of our little Draper community.
