Kids enjoyed.
Do not go here waste of money
I have been at West Wind Schools since I was 6, and am now 20 years old. Growing up with West Wind taught me self defense skills, as well as self discipline. Martial arts has become a huge passion of mine because of the great teaching at West Wind. The 1 on 1 teaching style allows for quick improvement of skill as well as a strong bond between teacher and student. The group classes also allow you to socialize with other students.
This past week I was able to earn my 5th degree black belt all thanks to the help of Mr. Shah.
Back when I was 15, Mr. Shah helped my earn my 1st degree black belt.
The dojo is in a great location on Park Street, and has a large and committed teaching staff.
Whether you are looking to learn self defense, a new martial art, or just a fun workout, come check out West Wind Schools! It is great for kids, as well as adults.
The school seems to put a lot effort in getting the space expanded these days, as they are getting quite popular... Not without reason though - teachers seem nice and my kids enjoy the classes.
I just wish that more attention is given to the cleanliness of mats ( hence 4 stars rating) as kids get pretty nasty looking feet after training :S
Not just the visible dirt, but the nasty fungal and bacterial could be lurking from that type of attitude. Some parents even walk with shoes over already messed up mats/hardwood floor ...
Inmho the school should impose more stricter hygene rules at dojo... Other than that, the place provides a great team spirit and confidence building skills.

I am giving 1-star not because I was an adult student of WWS or trained under their dojo. My issue stems from an altercation I had with a member or booster of the Alameda dojo. I dropped off a young woman riding in my car on the 2000s block of Lincoln Ave that resulted in an Asian man walking a toy dog, who challenged me to a fight. The back story is it happened around 11:45p on a Friday. He said, "I was an a-hole for not pulling up further into a driveway and blocking his path." I responded, "I'm dropping off a young lady from work." Then other pedestrians chimed in yelling, which instigated the situation. The guy barraged me with more profanities. Then I said, "You look real tough with that dog!" Then he proceeded to open up my passenger side door and left it open and kept challenging me to come out and fight while there was another passenger in the back seat. This incident was dangerous and threatening. Given that mental illness is at a peak now in the US, I believe he was a WWS student as he was wearing your dojo's t-shirt. I want him reprimanded and for him to apologize for his misdeeds because his actions reflect badly on WWS. Lastly, is WWS philosophy to train students to seek a violent outcome instead of using martial arts for self-defense? How does WWS handle rogue or problem students?

Amazing teachers and a wonderful care for your development. Safety is their first priority. I'm so glad I found them.

A few years back an instructor at this school was not happy with our daughters attention and performance and took matters into his own hands. He took her to a back room and used a stretching device to punish her. She had to go to doctor and receive counseling for months. The point is watch your children at all times. Ask questions. Why is my child crying. What are those bruises. Be involved.

The management team and teachers dont provide the services of what you paid for. Overall very poor!!!
I've only been going to this place for about a year, but it's amazing! Much better than my multiple past martial arts experiences. The instructors are amazing, and what they teach you does really help.

Not a good experience with management and teachers .
I've been coming to the dojo for the past 4 years. I had to quit a couple years ago because my mom and I had some problems and she stopped paying for my membership. But for the 2 years I was there (and the past 2 years I'd come in and out to visit), I fell in love with the place. The instructors are the best at what they do and some of the most helpful people I've ever met. The students, children and adults alike, are courteous, respectful, and polite. The experience I had was the best I've ever had. It may be pricey, but I think it's definitely worth it. They teach you how to protect yourself and the people you love, and there's no amount I wouldn't pay to learn to be able to do that. I hope whoever reads this takes this review into great consideration. Thank you.
Overall its a very good school. I have been going for about 2 years now and I will continue to attend. Since then, I have gained more confidence, integrity, and strength. Not only is the curriculum very good, but the teachers are FANTASTIC!
HOW CAN THEY TEACH YOUR KIDS ANY VALUE WHEN THE COMPANY IT SELF DOESN'T HAVE ONE????????????????????????/
I passed by here the other day and noticed alot of commotion going on in front of the school. I asked one of the parents what was happening and it turned out that they were throwing a party--the school had won some tournament. I was invited in, the vibe was good, shared some food and met a couple of the teachers. My leisure walk on Park St. turned into a fiesta--their party was also on Cinco De Mayo. Overall, a great school.
