They took the time to get to know my kids as individuals and could tell me their progress over the week. Now the girls participate in aerials and they love that too. I love Dynesty for their stress on each person being important as an individual. It is such a welcoming and inclusive environment that teaches the kids respect for themselves and each other. I also love how the coaches interact with the students. Every interactions I have witnessed in my months of observation have been respectful, focused on positive steps the student can take to improve, and encouraging. This is exactly the environment i want my kids in to learn and grow.

They take a wholistic approach to coaching -- focusing not just on martial arts skills, but also on building confidence, respect, and strength both on and off the mat. My son has gained so much self-belief and fortitude since we moved back to the area and rejoined. The family-like atmosphere makes every class something to look forward to, and the regular fun events they host for the kids really bring the community together. You can tell they care deeply about the student's development and happiness. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of the MMAA family -- highly recommend to anyone looking for a positive, uplifting, and empowering martial arts experience!

I started training here this year with my daughter, she is brand new to jiu jitsu and to this area. Seeing her confidence bloom as she learned and made friends has been worth every penny.

This dojo has come a long way from training in a park, out of a house, renting space from an Aikido dojo to having our own dedicated dojo space. I've researched cross-training and I've come to realize it's incredibly rare to find a place to train that isn't commercialized and profit driven. Eastside Kyokushin is a registered non-profit - there are no contracts, hidden fees or strings attached. The monthly dues are incredibly low ($50/mo.) You show up, sign a standard waiver, train hard and learn something new. Training is largely made up of challenging cardio workouts, basics, kata, self-defense and sparring. One notable difference from us vs. most other karate dojos you'll find is; we are full contact and primarily don't use pads. This is a deal breaker for some, but you need to be okay with not only hitting/kicking an opponent but being hit/kicked in return. We train for practicality and we adapt based on your experience, so if you have no experience you'll start with the basics. The bottom line is whether you're looking to get into better shape, learn self-defense, how to be a fighter or just to expand your current skillset you can't go wrong with Eastside Kyokushin.

The club runs a sister site in Vancouver, and our fencers can co-train with their fencers including Canadian national team members and NAC champions. The coaches are focused on real development rather than just running drills and collecting fees. They actually care whether each kid is getting better, and they tailor what they do to each fencer. Our son has improved incredibly since joining with the coaches taking the time to understand him as a fencer. While the Washington program is new this year, the fencers are already posting results and are among the highest ranked in the Pacific Northwest. What really sets S-Class apart though is the culture. Families are here because they want to be, and you can feel it at practice. Older fencers help younger ones, parents are friendly, and the whole atmosphere is supportive without being soft. S-Class actually feels like a community, not just a club you pay to attend. Highly recommend if you're serious about fencing in the Seattle area.
