Shihan Andrew is an amazing teacher with a unique approach to children. My 7-year-old son had a few private lessons with him, and the progress was incredible in such a short time — his speed, reactions, and overall confidence improved right away. Most importantly, my son was so excited before every class and truly enjoyed the training. Shihan Andrew makes the lessons both fun and effective, and it’s wonderful to see a child learning and developing while being so happy at the same time. Highly recommended!

We are incredibly grateful to Sensei Andrew for his dedication and guidance in helping our son achieve his black belt. His private lessons have been instrumental in refining technique, building confidence, and deepening his understanding of karate. Sensei Andrew’s patience, expertise, and personalized approach made all the difference, ensuring that every lesson was both challenging and encouraging. He not only teaches martial arts but also instills discipline, respect, and perseverance—qualities that will benefit our son far beyond the dojo. Thank you, Sensei Andrew, for your unwavering support and outstanding instruction!

Andrew is a world renown master, former champion, and to call him a fabulous instructor is a huge understatement. He is a recent refugee from the Ukraine war, for decades previously he had a very successful studio in Odessa Ukraine, that hosted many international competitions.

I am extremely fortunate to have him here now teaching in Los Angeles, he has helped me enormously to find strength and stability and maintain a physical regime focused around endurance and form. When I began with him I had no formal training in Karate, and the change in my confidence and strength is enormous.

Andrew is patient, kind, and unbelievably strong and talented, to be able to be trained by someone of his caliber is a gift.
