Martial Arts

Knowledgeable, passionate, experienced instructors. Great long-sword, dussack, rapier, knife, and unarmed martial arts instruction.

The owners and instructors have created a truly welcoming and safe environment. There's no brutes or douchebags here. If you're a small woman or want to drop your son or daughter off for class you will feel right at home. Whether your goal is to get fit, have fun, be a competitor or be an mma fighter Budo is a great place to be. I've been training jiujitsu for 6 years and at Budo for 1, and thoroughly enjoy class.

I've known many martial arts instructors in Hawaii, Kalani Martial Arts in Burlington, WA is the best in teaching young children

Champions is the best!!!! My son has been training at champions martial arts for a year and a half now. He trains in both kickboxing and jiu jitsu. We started at champions after the taekwondo school we were attending all of a sudden shut down and closed with no warning. Champions welcomed us, they assessed my son to see what belt level would be best for him to start with since he had 5 years of taekwondo. The Staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Champions is our home away from home. The people that train at champions are amazing too all very friendly and encouraging. I myself am going to join the adult classes because they look so much fun. I highly recommend that the whole family train at champions. There is a class for everyone from young to old, and for all physical capabilities

I started training kickboxing here in late 2008 for about 8 to 9 months on recommendation of a coworker. They had recently opened up in their original location. Due to a move to the Tricitis I stopped training there. Their kickboxing program is a great way to learn the sport and get in shape. Fast forward to today. I have my son enrolled in their Junior Eagles program. Milo and Marcy run the best kids program in BC, hands down. We came from a reputable gym out here in poco but it is night and day in terms of the program and teaching styles. My son has learned more in 2.5 months than he did in 9 months at the other gym. These guys are creating champions in the martial art of BJJ and also in life. Check it out for yourself. Highly recommended for all programs offered!!!

我們全家都跟師父練功了將近九年，受益良多。 身體得到了很好的鍛練。很開心有緣份認識師父學習少林功法

Excellent

Every age and fitness level is welcome. Go at your own pace at the kickboxing class. I went from being out of shape to feeling and looking great again.

Martial Arts is something I have always been interested in. I never got the opportunity to take classes when I was a kid but I still love it. Now that I am a mom I wanted to give my son the opportunity to take a Martial Arts class. I was very impressed by this class. Please take the opportunity and join the West Family Martial Art team. My son loves it and even though he is only 3 years old he already knows a lot. Thank you all.

Great family feel. Everyone wants to see you succeed and learn. I'm new to the class and everyone is helping me fit it. The younger students who are higher ranking belts are always eager to lend a hand. I look forward to coming to class.

For starters, they have one of the best kids jiu-jitsu programs in the country, but what separates this gym from others is the family environment. Many parents started as observers and are now side by side working out with their kids. Coach Eric is my 12 year old's best friend and is a true mentor. Best coaching, best facilities, best families, you can't go wrong.

I have been training here for many years now, and words cannot adequately describe how great this place is. Incredible training for all age levels - whether you are looking to learn how to defend yourself, trying to get good exercise, or just looking for something interesting and exciting to do - this is the place.

I'm a life-long Martial Artist, commenting on the previous disrespectful review that I just read, with all due disgust. WOW! The NERVE of some people! I have been teaching or studying various systems for most of my life. The comments from the strategically anonymous "Google User", who apparently didn't stick around long enough to even grasp the basics of Kali before assaulting the character of the school, techniques and it's patrons are ignorant and speak volumes of the character of the person who posted them. I am not associated with this school (yet) due to work related scheduling issues, but have spoken at length to the owner and found him most courteous, knowledgeable and professional. To disrespect the traditions of an advanced system of martial arts, and to so easily cast disparaging remarks on the proprietors because you can't "wear what you want" makes you the kind of person who is most likely more comfortable taking cardio kickbox at the YMCA. Did you not have to dress for gym in high school? wear a uniform for ANY important team oriented role? NO traditional and serious school of martial arts is going to let you wear whatever you want to class! You expect to just buy things online to wear for a traditional organization? How embarrassing! Probably why you didn't include your name... To downplay the value of the techniques offered when you obviously didn't stay long enough to learn anything is ridiculous. Had this person done their homework, they would know that Kali principles are currently employed by US Special Forces, Police and SWAT, as well as many International foreign fighting forces! It's not for the half-hearted. The style is incredibly effective for real life encounters, and better geared for surviving street confrontations than just about any that I've studied, which is why I was very happy to find a reputable school with such a renowned headmaster in REDMOND! I'm chomping at the bit to start my training here as soon as my schedule permits, and invite you to call the school and see for yourself how welcoming the Guro is. As far as the system is concerned, Google search YouTube for "Kali" or "Eskrima" or even "Panantukan" and try to keep your jaw from dropping at the ridiculous speed and effectiveness of the techniques. No useless forms or flowery fluttering, it works. In my professional security career, Kali techniques have worked VERY well for me in the past, and though I'm admittedly a novice I love the style, it works, and I can't wait to train here! I am not going to hide behind anonymity with MY comments, and I really hope whoever posted that laughable review is ashamed of themselves for casually disparaging something that took centuries to build, something that they were simply not cut out for. REAL Martial Arts aren't made to order, or barter. If you're looking to just buy stuff on the internet and do whatever you want in a class, why bother? No serious school is going to deal with that type of attitude. You get what you pay for, and god forbid if that toll comes in the form of an actual street confrontation, you'll wish you had appreciated the value of structure, and the devastating speed and great confidence that Kali offers. I say this from experience, the same experience that compels me to ask you to see for yourself instead of taking my word for it. Be safe always!

Hello i am 12. I just sign up to True Martial arts. I already love it, friendly stuff, awesome teacher, great education and incredible nice and cool instructors. I love it there, even though i am still a white belt beginer, i already have some experience going to classes. I love it!!!!! recomend for everyone to all ages, even to families.

Wonderful teachers, really good people.

Very great instructors and friendly environment!

I have been training here for over seven years and still love every second of it. Jordan is a great instructor who will take the time with you to ensure that you enjoy the art and are comfortable with the techniques, regardless of your previous (or lack of) experience in martial arts. I recommend this school and this art for anyone and everyone!
