I have been a student here for around five years, and in that time I have grown in many ways, I'm…read morequite the athlete in comparison to what I was, my health is great, my voice has dropped SIGNIFICANTLY as a guy and my confidence has skyrocketed. I'm glad I was given this opportunity to work on myself and find a hobby that is not only fun but empowering. All the instructors made this possible too, each one is amazing, and when I look at other schools it's obvious that we look better. the values that make us better are the exact ones were taught every day like discipline and quality standards of teaching to us that are tight sometimes but for the better, I can easily say this is one of the best dojos in the city, county and state by far. I'm more than grateful at this point; I wish to continue for as long as I can. However, despite all the main obvious qualities the issues I see is that getting gear and figuring out things is difficult, gear often arrives quite late and finding a class schedule that is accurate to present day is a nightmare sometimes, I would really like to see an online schedule present in the future, it is a common thing for most businesses to do that, so I want to see it here too. But really, overall, it is a really good place just I would like to see some improvements on communication and another issue. I will not disclose much info but kids must advance their belt rank, one kid is trying they're very best and struggling while another might just show up and get a pass on their belt exams and other tests. Another big thing is a feeling of bias in tournaments over certain members in our studio, I feel as though I'm not as liked and loved as other teens and I believe it's because I'm not on all the fanciest teams and can trick as good as them. I don't mind so much but it hurts to feel that sometimes. I'd say though that I'm still liked, just not as much as some others. The last part about this sort of thing is money it cost me 500 dollars to even go to my blackbelt test, whether I passed was not guaranteed with the money. another thing is that you pay more based on which class difficulty rank you participate in, there are also three main levels of training, basic training, black belt training and leadership training. Often, I've seen parents talking with the girls at the front desk about their kids and where they are at, then to days later they get promoted in class, keep in mind you are not supposed to pay to play, but they accept it because it means more pay. You are supposed to work your way up and when the instructors see you are ready they will talk to you or your parents and or guardian about getting you in a higher and more expensive class. then if they are willing to pay, you will rank up. But overall I love the studio still, keep it up Team Justus :)

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

The quality and effectiveness she brings are unmatched. She provides tools that anyone can use to defend themselves, no need to be a ninja-level athlete or train for years on end. The class sizes are pretty small (6 to 12 people), which ensures personalized attention and feedback that in my experience larger classes simply can't provide. Let's talk about Kat herself--a total badass. In a martial arts world predominantly dominated by men, having Kat as an instructor is essential. She brings a unique perspective that resonates, especially with female students like myself. Get ready to break a sweat and put in the effort, but trust me, the confidence you'll gain is absolutely worth it. If you're serious about honing your self-defense skills, Kat's classes are the real deal.

It's so positive, and teaches the kids so much more than martial arts; they also emphasize important life skills like respect, accountability/responsibility, and compassion. The instructors Josh and Hannah are phenomenal and truly care about the students as well. This summer we missed a couple of weeks in a row due to vacations and when my son returned, they (or older students) automatically did extra one on one time with him during classes to help catch him up. They empower and encourage the kids while challenging them at the same time. But most importantly for me, I've seen a huge surge in confidence in my son which means the world to me. Watching him practice his skills at home (because he wants to) and being excited to do them in class has been awesome. He's got better body awareness as well and so many of the skills they're learning transfer to other sports. I also appreciate the flexibility in the schedule with how busy things are. I can't recommend them enough-- thanks Tiger Rock!
