I have been in and around the martial arts for 30 years and can testify that Mr. and Mrs. Kawada are the real deal when it comes to doing AND teaching the martial arts. They embody the Aloha spirit and run their school with a high level of integrity. They balance the old school methods of Asian training with modern 21st century Western methods. They are open minded to learning which makes them open minded when teaching. They can easily adapt the curriculum to any individual's limitations, needs and goals. It did not take me long as a student to realize that this is a place I want to train in as both a student and an instructor for the long term. It is a true Academy - offering expert instruction in several arts besides Kung Fu. It is a wonderful place for kids and they offer Summer Camps, Birthday Parties, and other special events like movie nights for them. It is EQUALLY a wonderful place for adults who are both new as well as experienced in the martial arts. For people who are new, the instructors and students are very patient in working with you as you learn and for those experienced, your experience is valued and respected. As you search for martial arts training for either yourself and/or your kids, it is definitely a school you'd want to put on your list to visit and try out.
