My boys have been at EWK for almost 5 years now. In addition to the privilege of someday earning a black belt and competing at a world class level, EWK prepares kids with life skills to become the best possible version of themselves. The instructors and other families support each other, we are so happy to be part of the extended EWK family!

Many years ago my wife and I provided daycare to a young girl that was enrolled in EWK and we watched her practice and learn and she didn't stop until she reached black status. Fast forward 18 years and we are currently watching 2 more young girls that come to us after school. The older sister has been at EWK for about 5 months now and she has learnt so much from the wonderful instructors at EWK.
We have attended many classes and some weekend tournaments and we are very proud of her achievements. Her younger sister has just begun taking lessons and we hope she will become as skilled as her sister

Finally got to attend a seminar at this great facility. Spacious and the coaching is great. Made us feel right at home even though it’s not our dojo it felt like it was for two hours.
