This review is from Sébastien (8 yo) I really like how you teach since it is very kind and helpful. What I like the most is sparing.
We absolutely love Mercer Island Martial Arts. This dojang was high on our list of reasons to stay on Mercer Island as opposed to the surrounding areas when our living situation was changing. Instructors Merly and Vlcek are simply amazing with children (and adults!) of different ages and needs, and Masters Strongheart and Wells are incredible resources for both the school and the community. Thank you all for making us part of your family!
