I am now a purple belt. My father has been a Sensei at East West Karate about all my life. I have and am been/being taught respect, perseverance, self-control, honesty, and much more that has improved me being a purple belt and a daughter to a Sensei. I have more respect of those who are older and younger than me.

If you're in the Wyoming, Kentwood, and Wayland areas check out Zumba on Tuesdays at 6pm and Saturdays at 8pm with Kim T. She gives great direction and has an awesome music selection. She is very clear with her cues and if you mess up...who cares...she'll guide you without making you feel awkward. So what are you waiting for? It's well worth $6. There are punch cards, too. *Tip: No one can see in from the outside* ;)

East/West Karate has helped to completely change my son’s confidence and self esteem. Before Karate, my son was sullen, depressed, unsure, and lazy. East/West Karate has increased his energy, enthusiasm, strength, responsibility, and self confidence dramatically! He is a different kid thanks to East/West Karate! The Sensei of East/West Karate teach by instilling in students a desire to respect themselves and others, respect the art and sport of Karate, and respect their community. East/West really does offer a well rounded program which encourages kids to do well at home, school, and in the dojo. And the atmosphere in the dojo is one that pushes students to challenge themselves while also encouraging a real supportive and helpful attitude toward other students. Each lesson taught at East/West Karate is a lesson that can be applied to everyday life. It has been amazing for my son….and therefore for our entire family!

When I started talking about different activities for my son to be involved in, one of the suggestions was karate. It was not a hard sell for my son, he was "all in" from the beginning. My biggest fear when looking for a dojo was the karate dojo was not going to focus on honor, respect, humility, self-discipline, or any if the other core values necessary for martial arts. So, in order to find a dojo worth its weight in salt, I interviewed dojos across town. I knew I found the dojo I would bring my son to when I started comparing all of the others to East West. I kept hoping I would find a comparable dojo closer to Coopersville, but I never did. We drive 23 miles one way, and I would never take him anywhere else for karate. We have been coming here for more than a year, and I still recommend East West Karate to any one who asks. Thanks, Jon Olsen, for having a karate dojo worth the time and energy to bring him!

Unbelieveable!!! I was looking for a place to train for the weekend. I came by for a Muay Thai class and the owner/Head Instructor would not let me try a class out. He said it was a liability for me. I said, "You advertise and introductory class for $19.95 on the window, I will pay". He says, you're from out of town, sorry. The layout is huge and looks great but bad customer service. What happened to great instructors to teach great Martial Arts, not at this location. Definitely not recommended.
