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.

This is a certified Gracie school with knowledgeable instructors with great personalities and a…read moregood group of regular adult students (I don't know what the junior classes are like). The place is clean, and the mats regularly sanitized, and there is good parking in the back. The schedule makes for a full calendar, instead of some kind of Tuesday Thursday thing like a lot of other places. They have regular classes every night and alternating mornings for both beginners and master cycle members. I was looking for a place to work out that could maximize my weekly schedule. I researched a lot of places in SLC including styles that I am much more familiar with before deciding to try this school. Really, my main concern was finding a school that was well run that had a schedule with classes every night. That meant that there had to be instructors AND students at the school on as many nights as possible. So, I can't say I had many preconceived ideas about the Gracie style before checking them out. I have since been impressed with Ryan and Aidan and their easy teaching style. While I now realize that each class is a well defined product of the Gracie system, you still have to have a connection with your students to engage the class and make it fun. These guys deliver. If you haven't checked out a Gracie school before, or you want to get your start in the martial arts with a super well managed style, then this is really the place to be. A month later, I am raising this to five stars. I am a huge fan of Ryan and Aiden's style of teaching, and I've even lost 12 pounds.

There were plenty white belts and the instructor was a blue belt. He started with text book self defense for guillotine and some good basic arm bar from mount details. His instruction was thorough and he addressed the questions from the class well. I liked that he wasn't shaken by having a higher belt in his class and he catered to the beginners as it is a beginner class (fundamentals are key). I would also give credit to whoever has been training Logan because his lessons are clear and easy to follow. I hope to get back for an advanced class and possibly some sparring. No doubt these are Gracie details being handed down.

I have worked with Fred on some projects for his school and through that experience have come to learn that he is a caring instructor, an involved community member, and an excellent business man. He works hard to think of ways he can further his students desires to progress as well as what he can do to educate people in the community to the benefits of training in the martial arts. He holds an annual event that dozens of people attend to help the community as well. I highly recommend at least checking him out and observing his Judo classes and going in to ask him questions. I doubt anyone would regret it.

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

My wife brought up an issue we had (an overly religious paper that had to be done so my kid could get his next belt) and we feel the owner/instructor handled it very poorly. We only wanted to discuss an alternative to the assignment. He responded with anger, was very rude, and unwilling to even remotely have a civil discussion. The assignment is not why I'm writing this review, but because of the way he treated my wife. She was kind and diplomatic, but he didn't show the same level of respect. I noticed over the 7 months that he had a short temper with the kids, but I didn't realize the extent until now. I don't trust him with my child anymore, and If I were you I wouldn't trust him with yours either.
