Fantastic traditional karate dojo, and arguably the best school in the Pacific Northwest. The Sensei is a three-time National Champion in his own right, and his school routinely produces more National and International Champions than any other dojo in Washington. Of importance, their approach focuses on a holistic development of their students, offering a blend of traditional karate, civic responsibility, teamwork, and leadership - belts are earned in this dojo, not bought. Everyone is welcome - stop by anytime if you want to see a real karate dojo in action!
Postive place to get fit and learn karate
Seems great. But they do not take groupon, even though a search shows that they do, through go2karate.*Not all karate schools show up on the website. But I am glad you contacted them about it.
Great Senseis and Sempais, a nice dojo with multiple training rooms, and 4 students on the US National Karate Team.
Amazing dojo. Sensei is World Karate Federation referee and an amazing teacher.We travel 60 miles from Bothell to take classes there. The result has been that my son has made the USA Karate Team and earned #1 spot 5 years in a row.Ive made many great friends here as well - a great family atmosphere, warm and welcoming.
The Senseis (instructors) are awesome here. They can teach every age group and skill level. Its amazing to watch Sensei Sweigart train World Champions to beginners with the same compassion and dedication. We are very fortunate to have this dojo in Lakewood, WA.
This is the real thing. We have been to other dojos, and this one has the best Instructor for teaching real karate
Amazing dojo!! Amazing students and families!! What I have learned in 19 years and 4 children at this dojo is that this is the place where you want your family to learn Karate. Sensei Sweigart is a gifted teacher, trainer, and coach. The sempais are exceptional. Sensei Sweigarts competition team members win National Championships every year and they continually win championships and medal in international competitions. So very active yet always a dojo family. Kids excel here and learn to be the best that they can be....in the dojo... and in everything else that they do in life.
Outstanding School!!!
Amazing sensei! Amazing dojo!
