Warhorse Karate • Jiu Jitsu Spokane Valley

“I signed my son up for Warhorse Karate • Jiu Jitsu to see if it was a sport that he liked. My son still talks about his first meeting with Master Tong where it was explained to him that earning a black belt takes a lot of time and hard work and is similar to climbing a mountain. It was explained to my son that there may be times where he stumbles backwards, but as long as he continues to dedicate himself and is self disciplined, he will earn each belt and work towards a black belt. Warhorse has been great in helping my son overcome challenges, to be proud of his accomplishments and to see how the lessons Master Tong teaches in class apply to everyday life. I can’t recommend Warhorse enough!”

“This class has helped my son with focus and being held accountable for himself and his success and/or failure. I love the life lessons that are incorporated into the instructions as well as my son enjoys the fun activities. My kiddo loves the instructors and I have had good communication with the instructors.”

“I love warhorse and the lessons it teaches my boys both in the dojo and out. My boys have become more aware, respectful, and tolerant of others as they practice their skills with their peers and practice the warhorse character training. They also respect and admire their sensei, Mr. Tong. He has shown them with his actions how to show respect to others and yourself. I am grateful they have an adult they can look up to in our local community, outside of school and church. Another plus is the reward system. Earning bent stripes helps keep my boys engaged in between new belts! Highly recommend!”

“Started out wonderful with my 7 year old child. Learning nunchucks, Bo staff, block set, strike set, advancing belts….until it wasn’t. My child was in warhorse karate for 4+ years and we left when he was an advanced belt just below black belt. They were keeping my child from advancing due to our year being up and they wanted us to sign for another year when it wasn’t needed. They kept mixing belt levels in with my child’s class and my child just got so bored doing the same old sets! And unless you’re one of Mr. Tongs favorites (by signing up for all of the extra classes and camps) he won’t even really acknowledge you. It’s gross really how everyone was/is vying for his attention so bad. And while we were there they changed uniforms twice, to try and get people to buy the newest and latest outfit. I would definitely not recommend this karate school.”

“Our oldest daughter has been going to Warhorse for 2 years and our youngest daughter started in January. They both love going to karate every day because it is fun and engaging. Mr. Tong knows his kids and pushes them to be their best everyday! Karate has helped my oldest with her behavior, effort, and attention. My youngest has become more confident in herself and says I can instead of I can't. Warhorse is an amazing karate school for kids that want to learn a new skill and grow as a person!”
