One comment from our MANY happy Parents

When I first brought my 2 kids to East West Karate I was hoping they would become more outgoing. I hadn't counted on the commitment and dedication of the East West Instructors, Mr. and Mrs. McNally and the impact they would have on my kids and other students. East West uses self defense as a tool to teach students Character Development skills; Confidence, Honesty, Integrity, Respect, Discipline and Leadership.

Like so many parents observing classes it is an amazing transformation to watch as kids, some very introverted, become role models as leadership members. Kids are taught how to take an interest in the growth of other students and to become assistant instructors. Well done East West Karate!

From East West Karate:

The world of parenting is challenging; life throws many things at today's kids; some good, some not so good. There are no warranties with kids and no instruction manuals; this sometimes leads parents to wonder if they are doing the right things.

At East West Karate we are parents and fully understand the difficulties of parenting. We watch parents that set boundaries and determine what their young child will or will not do; these kids will likely become the leaders of the future. We watch as other parents allow a child to make their own choices and we see Wants winning out over Needs; these kids have a greater risk of problems with commitment in their future - according to psychological studies. To assist parents, we provide a solid program designed to teach kids and young adults to be responsible citizens that will be role models to others. East West Karate's Character Development program is NOT an activity like baseball, soccer, basketball, dance, gymnastics, etc. Cornerstone to East West Karate's curriculum is the utilization of self-defense to teach valuable life lessons and to help each student become his or her best.

Parents are often confused between wanting to be their child's friend and being a parent that sets boundaries. Boundaries can make the difference between well adjusted kids and kids who are prone to problems.

To help your child or teen become a role model, a leadership program that reinforces good values and leadership is crucial to achieving that goal. Hopping from one activity to another will definitely provide a life lesson; how to give up or quit. Studies indicate that children raised to satisfy their wants instead of their needs grow up with less confidence and are more likely to become followers. Martial Arts training as found at East West Karate helps to develop strong leaders through lessons in confidence, self-control, self-discipline, respect, focus and how to be a leader. Add to that the benefits of physical conditioning, balance, aerobic development, increased strength and self-defense, and East West Karate's program becomes the program of choice. Martial Arts isn't an activity; it is a certain training toward a leadership role.

East West Karate prides itself on its purpose; to stress the importance of being physically fit, emotionally prepared to meet the world and to display a spirit of compassion for others and life. Self-defense instruction, second to none, is taught by Hall of Fame member Clayton L. McNally.  East West Karate brings self-confidence, respect, self-discipline, perseverance and a positive attitude to each student.

All schools are not created equal, most are mere profit centers. As a parent looking to enroll your child or teen you can choose a school that views families as a wallet to draw upon, or one where students and parents are treated like family members, or a combination of the two. If any school you look at charges testing fees (other than a one time Black Belt test fee), belt fees, Advanced Black Belt training prices, demo class fees, upgrade packages or leadership classes - you may have found a school that cares more for your money than you.  You will not find these additional fees at East West Karate.

If you didn't look at enrolling at East West Karate, you are probably paying too much for a self-defense that isn't the best in the area. Don't become a blank check to someone; look at us and find out why so many come here.
