Northwest Wado-Ryu Helping Kids, Teens and Adults Become Their Best Selves!

Joining the dojo has really helped improve my self-confidence, coordination, discipline and athleticism.

Karate has helped me with my fitness level in many ways, including: strength, flexibility, coordination, reflex speed, and balance. Since starting, I stress less, am more confident and am losing weight in healthy ways!

We chose to join the dojo because we wanted to do something as a family. The dojo does a " pay two programs and the rest of the programs are free" which was perfect for my family of 9!

The changes I have noticed in Dominick since he has started karate is his attention span has improved significantly.

I noticed Dmitri's self-confidence improve dramatically, and he has made friends here, too!

My daughter loves coming to the dojo to see all the friends she's made. Even when the karate practice and skills are difficult or frustrating, it's the friendly community that makes her want to keep coming back. After a while all the many teammates at the dojo start to feel less like acquaintances or even friends than they do family- evidence by how often we get together outside of karate events!

My 8-year-old son has been taking lessons at NW Wado-Ryu for a few months now and it's been a great experience. The instructors are good at tailoring instruction for the different students' skill levels and the communication with me as a parent about upcoming specials and offers has been great. We also really enjoy the extra services they offer like monthly Parents' Nights Out events and day camps during days when schools are closed.

Our highest recommendation for this friendly, affordable, family-owned studio. The instructors are both highly skilled and personable, making this studio perfect for beginner and advanced, young and old. We especially appreciate the emphasis on safety, dignity, and respect. In addition to building confidence, this is a great workout!

Very high quality training, and a very fun and safe environment. As a founding member of the Moscow dojo, I have watched Sensei Schwartz grow his school from the ground up, and have seen first hand how students develop skills, character, and confidence. This school is an excellent choice for people of all skill levels. Strongly recommend.

My family LOVES this Dojo! My husband and all three of our sons attend weekly and enjoy it! The boys have fun and learn valuable life lessons, such as respect, discipline and satisfaction from a job well done. Highly recommend their services to all!;

This is one of the best Karate studios we’ve been to in some time. The instructor Chris is awesome and he’s always will to go above and beyond not only for his students but the rest of the community.

Our youngest son expressed an interest in martial arts classes. Norhwest Wado-ryu Karate was one of the dojos recommended to our family by a friend. After calling several of the places mentioned to us, we decided to take a sampling of eight classes to see how things would go for our son. I was hesitant that he would continue interest. However, nearly a year later, he has thoroughly enjoyed each lesson and workshop. He has passed several tests and received his promotional belts. He has never missed a class and now is interested in eventually competing. The entire staff is professional, kind and encouraging. My son has increased strength, reduced anxiety and self confidence. I highly recommend Northwest Wado-ryu.

My Son and daughter started here a little less than a year ago, my son being 7 and my daughter 5. They love coming to class and look forward to it twice a week. My son is in basic's classes and my daughter is in the their little dragon's class. Both classes are perfect for their ages and what they are ready to learn and physically do. The staff are excellent, they have clear boundaries and clear expectations, which I really love. Their lessons flow perfectly to help one achieve the next level. I wanted to take classes with my children, but didn't have anyone to watch my daughter...they accommodated my by helping me keep watch on her as I take classes. Once a month there are parent night out events where they have 3 hours of fun activities and food. My kids love it, and I love that I can trust them with my children. They also have an option where you can have a birthday at the dojo. My has had his 7th birthday party there and he loved it. The staff go above and beyond and we consider them family. Great exercise, building confidence, building coordination, strength building of mind, body, and spirit are just some of the things you will take away from attending Karate at Northwest Wado-Ryu Karate. We highly recommend taking classes, great for the whole family.
