Karate West is simply an amazing environment. Sensei Andrew is more than just an instructor, mentor, and friend. He is an active member of the Mercer Island community. Andrew has spent many hours volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club and for the Mercer Island Parks and Recs Programs. He also supports his youth students by providing motivational talks in their elementary, middle, and high schools. He can be counted on counsel students, making certain that they are giving the level of respect and effort that is expected in all aspects of their lives. Andrew has provided safety workshops for Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, and various church groups. Karate West has been a proud sponsor for the Mercer Island School District and has held fund raisers for various PTA groups for years. The Karate West demonstration team has been showcased at International Night, MIPA Circus, the Day of Play, etc… and is inspiring with their ability and demeanor. Karate West and Sensei Andrew are a wonderful addition to the Island.
