The staff showed no effort in answering even the simplest yes-or-no question," How can I enroll my daughter in your establishment" and asked us to leave because "parents aren't allowed." I'm certainly not going to leave my daughter in a place she's never been, with people I don't know. If that's the attitude they teach, I'd rather look elsewhere.

I have been part of White Tiger Martial Arts for about 7 years now and consider myself fortunate to train with Master Yoo. They run an amazing TKD program which is great for children and adults needing some good physical and mental discipline along with very important self-defense skills. Personally, it has helped me with the mind-body unification and to develop strength, technique and self confidence. Over the period of time I have learned to apply it to all other aspects of my life as well. Both Master and Mrs Yoo are amazing and have this great ability to connect with their students. It shows that they care. Couldn't have asked for better instructors. Master Yoo is stern yet kind and playful. He brings out your best in the class. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a great martial arts training, it's a fun place for families to do TKD together.

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.

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.

A truly amazing Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu community!…read more I've been training at Evergreen Karate & Jiu Jitsu for about a year and a half, and I can honestly say it's one of the most supportive and friendly BJJ programs I've ever experienced. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about helping every student grow--no matter their skill level. This gym has become a huge part of my life. Both of my kids now train here too, and watching them gain confidence, discipline, and new skills has been amazing. The team here feels like family, and I can't imagine not having this community in our lives. If you're looking for a welcoming place to train Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu, build confidence, and be part of a positive, encouraging environment, Evergreen Karate & Jiu Jitsu is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

I am a Director of Camp Mariposa, a free camp for youth whose lives have been impacted by addiction. Sensei Rick brought a crew of 6 people to provide a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu interactive demonstration for the youth enrolled at our camp. Prior to camp Sensei Rick made sure to gain clear understanding in order to support the youth as much as possible, discuss concerns that may be present, and mindful of potential traumas that our youth may carry. Each and every member of CMAA present was thoughtful, intentional, and fantastic with interacting with the youth present at camp. Afterwards, our campers were crowing and glowing about the experience, and I had several parents call to thank us for giving their youth the opportunity to participate in an activity such as this. I would recommend anyone considering hiring, enrolling, or participating in Cascade Martial Arts Academy to give them a visit. You will not be disappointed!
