Not only did he teach us the effective way to defend ourselves but also the how and why behind it. His words and advice are memorable and applicable to life. I've moved out of state a while ago but still remember the great time we had back then. I'd definitely sign my kids up for it if we were to live in town. I've seen several youth that were trained since they were little and grew up to be fine young people. Highly recommend Shihan Arakaki and the dojo to anyone looking for a great place for you or your loved ones to be trained in Karate. Life-changing experience for sure!

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

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.
