Over 40 years ago, Great Grandmaster Ernie Reyes and Great Grandmaster Tony Thompson first began teaching Taekwondo at West Coast World Martial Arts, and in 1977 they opened their first martial arts school in Santa Clara County. The Campbell location was the first school of the West Coast World Martial Arts association and continues to serve as one of its flagship school locations. The program uses the West Coast World Martial Arts System, which is described as a practical mix of martial arts from around the world and begins with Taekwondo as the foundation, with a curriculum developed from multiple styles so students learn a well-rounded system of self-defense that enables them to adapt to any style of martial art.
All instructors at West Coast World Martial Arts have years of martial arts experience. Great Grandmaster Ernie Reyes and Great Grandmaster Tony Thompson, along with all senior black belt instructors, are certified black belts under World Taekwondo (formerly the World Taekwondo Federation). KJN Margie Reyes, the school owner of the Campbell location and a master instructor, has been training in martial arts for 46 years. KJN Daniel Isozaki, one of the head instructors at the Campbell headquarters school and Co-Captain of the West Coast World Action Demo Team, has been training for 20 years. KJN Joao Santana, a master instructor at the headquarters, has been training in martial arts since 1994 and with West Coast World Martial Arts since 2003.
The leadership team includes Great Grandmaster KJN Ernie Reyes (also known as Master Ernie Reyes Sr.), KJN Margie Reyes, KJN Daniel Isozaki, and KJN Joao Santana. The purpose of West Coast World Martial Arts is stated as empowering students to develop themselves physically, mentally, and spiritually and to establish extraordinary character, with teaching based on the values of honor, loyalty, family, and bravery. West Coast World Martial Arts brings together people from all walks of life.
Great Grandmaster Reyes was the creative and coaching force behind the West Coast World Action Team, which Bushido Magazine in Europe recognized as “the #1 Martial Arts Demo Team in the World.” In one year, he produced seven black belt national champions, all certified World Taekwondo Federation black belts, from this team. Great Grandmaster Reyes has received Lifetime Achievement awards from every major martial arts association in the United States, has been featured in every national karate magazine in the world, was inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame as Instructor of the Year, was honored as Instructor of the Year by the Professional Karate Association, and was recognized as one of the greatest masters of the 20th century on “Masters of the Martial Arts,” presented on national television by TNT.
Parent and student testimonials describe the Campbell school as having large facilities and staff who make mixed martial arts fun and safe, and mention long-term training leading to ranks such as third degree black belt and black belt. Families report training there for years, including students working toward second degree black belt, and note instructors such as KJN Daniel, Joao, and Donald as friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. Testimonials also mention kids night as a way the school shows students a balance of work and fun, and describe students feeling warmly welcomed and motivated by peers as they progress from white belt to black belt.
