Not for slackers or those looking for an easy black belt but also not asking for anything more than the commitment and willingness to follow through. Show up, train hard, repeat and you will see, you will see. Family friendly, life friendly, intense and inspiring, a large smorgasbord of daily classes to fit your schedule, teachers with a wealth of knowledge and different training styles to find your fit, community of like minded karetakas to find 'your people.' Come for karate and see it grow into a life passion. The school has recently started participating in competitions and as a testament to the rigor, there are winners right off the bat. The social scene is strong as well with barbecues and parties. The dojo just celebrated 50 years and celebrated the life of founder Sensei André Dulce (8th degree black belt.) I have trained with Sensei Mostafa, Sensei Maria, Sensei Neil, Sensei Mitch, Sensei Jack, Sensei Kevin, Sensei Mark, Sensei Robert, Sensei Abhishek, Sensei Kristina, Senpai Andre, Senpai Kate, Senpai Ivan and I marvel at their wealth of acumen and capability and commitment to transfer it. If life allows you the opportunity to train at this dojo, seize it! Sign up for an intro trial class today and see if you don't get hooked! Washington Shotokan Karate Association. OSS!

Some of the best times of my youth were with the people, training, and friendships at the dojo. I am so blessed to have shared time with Sensei and my fellow students. Thank you to Andre and Washington Shotokan. Excellent organization.

    Posting on behalf of my wife and son We love the passion,…read moreskill and dedication that Shihan and Sensei bring to class everyday. Students greatly benefit in this environment where karate is the primary focus along with respect, discipline etc. Other places make you sign contracts etc...Not this one. In fact they even offered us trial classes to evaluate fit and get a feel of the environment. We have been going since 2017 and highly recommend Eastside Kyokushin.

    I've been training with Eastside Kyokushin since early 2007 - that being said, my perspective is of…read morea long-term student. 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.

I later signed up for their six-week level one women's self defense seminar, which was a great decision. The class size was small with personalized feedback and interaction. I am excited to keep building on my learnings, as I am now taking the six-week level two self defense seminar. I recommend checking out Oom Yung Doe's classes! The instructors are knowledgeable and really care.

    I've trained in Oom Yung Doe for over 11 years and I think it's great. Oom Yung Doe is a style of…read moretraditional moo doe, which is the original root of martial arts before it branched out into all the different styles. These schools focus on the healing knowledge of martial arts as opposed to the breaking knowledge of martial arts. Yes, you can still learn some very strong self-defense, but the point is to improve yourself and then improve the people and communities around you. The instructors are all very genuine and caring and the knowledge passed is very deep. The training combines movements from all east asian styles of martial arts, along with herbs and meditation. There is also philosophy passed, such as not hurting others and being true to your inner self. Oom Yung Doe offers many different training programs. You can train towards your black belt in moo doe, you can train in one particular style, you can take a short-term or a longer-term program, or you can take a conditioning program designed to develop one particular aspect of your self (such as strength, flexibility, core development, jumping ability, etc.). There are also conditioning programs that will help to resolve physical, mental, or emotional issues - these programs use herbs, pressure points, and simple movements and are very effective. You can also enroll your children in either regular classes or in special programs designed to boost their abilities in sports or other athletics. Overall, this place is great and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting or staying healthy and strong.

    I was basically raised in this dojo....I started when I was 11 years old, and now as a young adult,…read moreI still consider it my home. I trained here for years before becoming a children's instructor, which was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Koei Kan Martial Arts Academy in Bellevue is the kind of place that becomes a part of your family, a place where you sweat, where you push yourself, where you grow, and where you learn. One of the most unique things about this dojo is that often families train together, kids and parents of all ages side by side. It really is a place for family, and it's changed my life.

    This is an awesome dojo, and can't say enough good things about this place…read more This dojo is definitely more on the fighting/kumite side of karate, while other traditional aspects of karate are taught, everything with this style goes back to kumite/fighting in the end. Sparring is freeform and rarely point although point fighting is taught as it's apart of the system. They also practice bogu kumite which if your unfamiliar with I suggest looking it up! The sensei's/students are very mindful about limitations and will meet you wherever you are. Throws/take downs and ground fighting are also heavily focused on. Many students cross train in this system and bjj, the school also hosts bjj(gi/no gi) events and often hold training events with other styles. Again everyone is super mindful of limiations/experience and will meet you where you're​ at. On the lighter side kata (empty hand and weapons) are also taught and comes from a shudokan/shuri-te background. Bunkai (application of kata), nage (throws/takedowns/self defense techniques) are also taught and focused on. To sum it all up, this dojo is great no matter where you are in martial arts (new or experienced), great for kids/family's too, and offer flexible training times throughout the day. It's well worth checking out!
