“There are so many wonderful things to say about Sensei Brian and his karate school. I just asked our son Alex what it means to be apart of Westwood Karate. He said that it has given him confidence, respect and loyalty for others. As his parents we have seen these qualities abound in him and so much more. This community is so valuable to Alex, its supportive nature is a result of Sensei's loving and demanding teaching style. This makes eveyone in Brian’s karate school want to be the best they can be as both Karate students and as people. We are so fortunate to have found Westwood karate school and sensei Brian. ”

Karate has really enhanced Hunter’s quickness, control and focus. Sensei Brian does a great job working with each individual student according to their own ability and style. Also, the quality of student that Brian has attracted to his dojo cannot be understated. The senior students set a fantastic example for the younger ones.

Sensei Brian Purves has taught Karate to my two boys’, Jacob and Isaac, for three years. During this time, he displayed great patience and beliefs in my kid’s physical and mental abilities. The lessons learned by my boy’s include internal discipline, focus and endurance during moment of challenges, facing defeat with humbleness and to reach their full potential. Sensei Purves is well respected by his students, their parents and in the Karate community.

I am incredibly grateful to have found Sensei Brian. The authenticity of practice, clarity of teaching and devotion to karate as a unifying principle by which one can live one’s life are always present. He can impart his teaching just as clearly and easily to beginners as to the advanced, with each student feeling as if the class was directed solely at them.

Karate has enhanced my son’s coordination, balance and speed all of which have benefited him in his sport/activities. In addition to increase athleticism, Karate has also taught him the importance of timing, patience and anticipation.
I also would emphasize that those who train at (are associated with) Westwood Goju-Ryu make the dojo an especially welcoming community and a great place to learn.
