Mercer Island Martial Arts has been the single best activity that my kids have done. This school goes way beyond just teaching martial arts. Masters Strongheart and Wells have that rare gift of being able to mix teaching and discipline with fun. The kids love them, respect them and learn from them. I have two very different children that have benefited in very different ways from this school. My daughter found a sense of place and community here. She developed respect and had another set of adults steering her in a constructive direction. She developed relationships with older students at the school who have helped her learn to stand up against peer pressure and have guided her to being a better student and making better choices. She has learned the responsibility of teaching the younger children and helping them with their challenges. She is eager to mentor the younger students because she values the experience that she had.
My son has gained self confidence. He is an easy-going boy that would sometimes be taken advantage of & pushed around. Now he has the confidence to stand his ground and know that he can take care of himself, and, perhaps more importantly, he knows that he can walk away. He has learned about responsibility as well. He has gained leadership skills from teaching roles that he had previously have avoided.
I am grateful for the work that Masters Strongheart and Wells have done. They have helped my children develop in very positive ways. These two, and the school that they run, are a tremendous asset to the community.
Pros: Develops the whole child
Cons: None

Nancy came to my son's first birthday party. Wow! She was so great! We had 25 children of varying ages and she was able to capture everyone's imagination and entertain them all. She was interactive and really managed the crowd of children beautifully! She has reasonable pricing and is friendly and gets everyone involved!

I remember my days at sunnybeam school fondly, but those were years and years ago when I was a 3 year old. Sunnybeam was just up the hill from where I lived and I loved going to preschool, playing with all the kids, the big scruffy shaggy dogs that the school had. I remember drooling all over myself during naptimes. I would definately have my daughter go to preschool there if I lived on the island. Would recommend it to anybody with kids on the island

My son recently started taking Karate classes a Mercer Island Martial Arts. The instruction is out of this world. Within a week he has started doing his chores at home without being asked and his teacher reports that he has been more focused in his classes. I would highly recommend to any one who has kids to go and check out this school.
