"Don't let the outside fool you. This is a great martial arts school with a kind, supportive, and experienced staff. I am so glad that I enrolled here!"

"So far I have been enjoying taking MMA lessons here and plan on continuing to take MMA lessons here along with trying their other programs like Boxing. The instructors do a great job on explaining how to perform the techniques properly. If you are looking for a good martial arts gym to go to this is definitely a good one to try out, especially if you are looking for a gym that teaches techniques that work for self-defense."

"My family and I have been training at EWA for over 12 years. The school has definitely given us the skill set to succeed in life starting with self and environment awareness."

"if you want world-class martial arts training in a friendly, encouraging, and non-egotistical environment, this is the place. My son and I started training here years ago and enjoyed every moment. The variety of arts taught at this school is amazing. From Kali, to Jeet Kun do, to Muy Thai, combat submission wrestling, jiu jitsu, and Tae Kwon Do, training here never gets stale. More than that, you know that you are getting excellent training because the instructors are certified directly under world renowned masters like Guru Dan Inosanto, Leo Gaje, Ajarn Chai, and Eric Paulson. After learning the basics, Wes, Trish, Randy, William and the rest of the instructors encourage students to learn more than just techniques or rote moves; they learn body mechanics and physical principals that are adaptable to any situation. But best of all are the life-long friends that you'll meet. I met some of my best friends here. If you want a fun, challenging, martial arts gym that is top notch but also down to earth, you cannot go wrong with East Wind Academy."
