She has really flourished not only in the class but in her discipline at home. Sensei Brian has a great teaching style that the kids get a lot from.”

After trying a few different sports with our 8 year old daughter we decided to have her try Ninja Class at Kitsap Martial Arts. She has really flourished not only in the class but in her discipline at home. Sensei Brian has a great teaching style that the kdis get a lot from. He is the real deal. KMA does free trial days as well so you can see if your kid is susceptive to it. That's what we did and it was great. Five stars!

“… a perfect mix of being fun and funny, combined with a calm expectation of focus and respect. Kitsap Martial Arts absolutely helps instill a strong sense of responsibility for doing your best and learning together.”

Our 7 year old son does weekly Budo classes with Sensei Brian and absolutely loves it. He has tried other dojos and while they were good, they weren't quite the right fit, so we were happy to find Brian's classes. His approach is a perfect mix of being fun and funny, combined with a calm expectation of focus and spect. Kitsap Martial Arts absolutely helps instill a strong sense of personal responsibility for doing your best and learning together. We love it. When our 3 year old is old enough she'll be joining ... us parents even want to do it, too!

This place is amazing and he is always excited to come!

This is the second place we tried for my almost-7 year old. The first place was pretty chaotic, adn the instructors struggled with class management. This place is amazing and he is always excited to come!
