Weswind Karate is amazing! They have done so much for our son. Over the past year he has excelled in so many areas, including core strength, social skills, discipline, balance, coordination, respect for elders, and mostly willingness to try new things. We definitely owe the majority of this to the awesome instructors at westwind. Every belt ceremony is a moving experience, seeing all the parents and how proud they are of their children, and they are always doing fun family events throughout the year. It's a great place to enroll, they make you feel like family!!

Amazing instructors! They make sure to take extra time with each person to help them improve. The classes are very well organized and my son always looks forward to going to class. They also put a lot of time and effort into other events such as the Bully-Free Seminar which is very helpful to my growing son who has experienced that sort of behavior. Thanks for all you do Westwind!!

Kids have a great time playing games that are fun but have a purpose. Mr. Mangum is fantastic with the kids. He never loses his patience, and Becky loves him. They have a great program and even their "promotions" seem to have a purpose behind them ("Kick it Forward", "Buddy Week", Anti-bullying assemblies, etc)

Best Karate school!!!  The instructors are incredible, they are excellent with my children and truly care about their goals and desires. WestWind Karate has a family feel that is very welcoming to both new and existing students.  I remember my first day, I never felt out of place or embarrassed. Everyone treats everyone with respect and all are encouraging to helping you achieve your goals. They work to develop the students physically, mentally and spiritually as well as having fun in the process.   I highly recommend this school for anyone looking for a karate school.

Love this place. They have been so helpful with my son. He loves coming here twice a week, if he could I'm sure he'd come daily. They are very friendly and understanding to his needs.

We have loved WestWind Karate! My son has grown physically and mentally over the past year. He has opened up more and has learned self-control. He has also made lots of friends and having a lot of fun. Every teacher knows their stuff and is really good at breaking the moves down for the students at any age and ability. This is the place to go if you're looking for a karate studio.

Taking karate at WestWind Karate started as an activity and positive experience for my son and me to share. While it accomplishes that initial goal, it has evolved into a personal challenge that improves my daily life and outlook.

The instructors are excellent at WestWind. They break down the techniques, strikes, kicks, blocks and explain their purpose at each point of the movements so as you are doing them over and over again you can focus on accomplishing the purpose of the move. They have us practice those moves on the bags and training shields, and we spar in class. The bags are available to use outside of class time as well and we are encouraged to use them. Sparring at the lowest belt level is very light but it increases as your skills increase. It has been great to see how my son looks up to the instructors and thrives on their encouragement. They are patient, professional, and skilled.

We get an awesome workout each class but physical fitness is a bonus. The heart of what they teach is defense. It centers around the theme of being attacked, the attacker or attackers are bigger than you and will not follow the moves we practice. We also spend time covering mental/spiritual principles such as integrity, self-control, etc. Those values have a way of creeping into my work and home life and I find I am checking myself to make sure I actually follow those principles.

Another bonus is discipline. This style of Karate, which is Kenpo, has some roots in the military and that same military discipline has been carried down to WestWind Karate. Various flavors of calisthenics, stretches, stances, shouts. All of it helps sharpen and unite us as students. I served in the military and I understand the benefits of this kind of discipline. It's great to see the kids in class push through and accomplish those tasks. It has brought me back to fond memories. Part of the fun is seeing which instructor will lead that part of class because some are harder than others.

WestWind has become much more that just "taking karate". I look forward to going to class, I study and think about what I've learned. My son and I help each other improve. Kenpo, for me has become a vehicle for personal improvement and satisfaction. WestWind Karate is excellently guiding me in those goals. The school is like a family. WestWind offers top-rate facilities, instructors, and environment for either a family or individual. I recommend coming to the Sandy school and taking a look around. Tell them Eric sent you.

Such a wonderful studio!  I tried a week free with my son and because hooked!  I love that here they teach by belt color and not by age.  This way I can stay with my son and we can help each other.  Other studios I looked at would do just one adult class of all belts.  I felt like that was just too confusing.  I love this studio and could never say enough fantastic things about them!  Never look anywhere else!

My daughters have been with West Wind for the last 3 and a half years and have practically grown up at the dojo. We absolutely love WWK. The instructors are all amazing and do more than just teach arm and leg motions. They instill values, motivation, and self confidence. We could not be more happy.

The Sandy facility is clean and professional. Upstairs is the reception area and offices. The actual dojo is downstairs and broken in to two rooms one for the upper belts and one for the younger kids. Classes are split up by skill/belt not age. This is a great plus in my opinion. My kids get to interact with students younger than them all the way to adults. They get the opportunity to help teach people older than them because they are high belts and get help/instruction from kids younger than them. WWK offers multiple class times during the week and specialty classes a few times a month. With a longer commitment you can join the black belt club and attend as many classes as you like as well as take the extra classes for free or for a discount. We plan to keep coming to WWK for a long time.

My daughter has been going to Westwind for a few years now and I’ve never seen her so happy to come to class to either learn or teach. Westwind has a unique way of bringing the best out of there students and they have shown that with my daughter. She has confidence, takes accountability for her actions, and is willing to help those who need it. All the staff is great. They are friendly and treat everyone (really) like family. For those who want to join an amazing group Westwind is definitely the place.

We have been three as a family since 2019, my husband for longer. My husband is going for his black belt, my oldest son is a green belt working towards his brown, I am a purple belt, and my youngest is a yellow belt, I highly recommend this practice to everyone. It is great and a great way to learn martial arts, and how to learn respect for yourself and others.

This school is beyond amazing !!! When Mrs. Marion called to schedule for my kids to come check out the classes they provide we were so excited! After the first class we were even more excited! These teachers have helped my kids in so many areas, not just self defense moves/karate skills. My youngest has always been so shy and now he is making friends,speaking in front of class and expressing himself more! My second oldest who comes r… See more

This dojo is an awesome self defense school. Also if you don't feel comfortable going out by yourself at night, because it's a big city, they'll walk you out to your car, keeping you safe

I've had an impressive experience at the WestWind Karate School. I'm a bit older of an adult and everyone has been really patient and helpful as I learn the skills. I am impressed with the professional way that they teach and the kind and patient way that they teach the children. Their instruction method is very positive and encouraging, helping the youth learn the skills, pay attention in class, and be respectful. Thumbs up for them.

This place has been amazing for my oldest son. The instructors are incredible and the program they have for kids is amazing. They are patient and the affordable. Another plus are that the other karate parents are awesome and has become a sort of “looking forward to” hang with them. The facility is great and clean! They also take such care and patience with the kids and have a wonderful belt ceremony. My son has benefited coming here with learning discipline, hard work and respect. We have notice a significant difference in our oldest and couldn’t be happier with this place! Would recommend 10/10

This has been such a great experience for my son who has ADHD. He started as a 6 year old and is now 7. The teachers are patient, respectful, and meet him where he is. I have family members that only see my son every few months and they have all commented on his new maturity and better self control. I would definitely recommend this program!

West Wind Karate has a great program, especially for young kids! The teachers really care about the kids, are encouraging, and make it so fun while helping kids learn not only self defense, but problem solving, respect, taking turns, community involvement, and so much more. They offer skill levels from very early beginners all the way up. There are classes on multiple days, making it easy to fit classes in your schedule, and making up classes is easy. Highly highly recommend!

My daughter has been going to West Wind Karate for 3 years, she has gone through the early and basic skills program and is starting the karate program. I love to see how karate is has benefited her and see how she has grown and how much she has learned over the years. We love the staff at the Kearns location, especially Ms. Marion, everyone is so friendly and kind. We love being apart of the West Wind family.

West Wind Karate has been a great place for me and my family. My son started 2 years ago, shortly after he turned 3. They have great classes for children and adults alike. Both my wife and I joined during their Mothers Month in May. West Wind Karate is not just a karate studio, the staff truly cares about the students and their families. I have also brought my students to West Wind for intro classes where I have seen them start to build confidence I hadn’t seen before. I can’t say enough about how amazing everyone is and how much I love West Wind Karate.

We love West Wind Karate! They create a positive environment that is helping my children learn discipline, self control and self defense skills. They know my children by name and make them feel welcome and included. I have loved the self confidence that has grown in my oldest son. I also love that they have activities outside of class as well including a summer BBQ, Christmas party, movie night, etc.

I've been a student at Westwind for many years and it has been the most amazing experience. The curriculum is fun and friendly for all-ages, teaches you how to defend yourself effectively, and is a great workout. The teachers are all kind and incredibly skilled at martial arts, and the wonderful people you get to study with makes the experience even better!

I’ve been a student at Westwind for nearly 20 years. I got hooked when I was a kid and still love sparring with the black belts as an adult. There are zero bad things to say about Westwind and the curriculum. After learning several disciplines of martial arts I know that Westwind is the real deal. What they taught me has kept me safe on numerous occasions and made me a better person.

Our son started karate here 3 years ago. The experience has been great for him. His focus, strength, and confidence have all improved. Most of all, we love the instructors here. They are patient, genuine, and fun. They create an environment where each student is striving for their own personal best. When my kid has an off day, they check in with him because they know and care about him. They know my kid gets anxious before a belt exam or challenge so they give him a high five, and go over any questions beforehand so he does his best. They are eager to have him reach his potential, but also welcome him as he is on hard days. Our family loves this place.
