Martial Arts Schools near El Mirage

“I can't say enough good things about this place. My 11- and 12-year-old love the kids' classes put on by the black belt, Andi, who is excellent with kids. My 13-year-old, who attends the adult class with me, also loves it. The black belt instructor for the adult class, Shaq, is outstanding with his instruction and breaks down the technique so it is easily understood and what purpose it serves. What also made me admire this place is the practicality of their drills geared towards possible real-life encounters. Their schedule is flexible, with multiple days available, and it has that family love/feel to it. If you were like me, checking out several places and undecided, give this one a shot because you won't be disappointed.“

“Our daughter loves her experience here at the tiny tigers class. Excellent staff and program.“

“We love this place! Our Sedona is almost black belt at 8 years old, and it’s not the color, it’s the discipline, focus, respect, goals and responsibilities she is learning. Master Elliot and Master Paul are quality , amazing, and they care to help! Thank you!“

“Master Ann has made it easy to love taekwondo! I am always looking forward to going to class. It is fun but it also pushed me to be more focused, discipling, and to have more confidence in myself. I started going when I was 7 but I moved and was no longer able to go. I moved back and I didn’t want to go to no other taekwondo than his I have had so many great experiences and even had an opportunity to go to South korea. I recommend 100%.“

“Love it here everyone is super welcoming and nice I felt at home the moment I walked in great environment“

“We joined Destiny Martial Arts Academy last month and have enjoyed every minute of it. The structure and discipline is age appropriate and the flexible schedule makes it easy to ensure our child can go three times a week.“

“Great instructors great learning environment for all ages. My nephew loves taking classes and it always a delight to speak with the instructors like Mr. Medina and Mr. azbell. Would recommend to anyone with kids or for yourself“

“I was in Taekwondo for a total of seven years before moving on to highschool. Master Scott is an excellent teacher in Taekwondo, as well as judo! Over the years of getting to know him, and being able to work with him in the classes has truly been an honor. Taekwondo with Master Scott improved my physical and mental strength, disciplined me, and made me who I am today.Learning the grappling and other techniques has bridged a gap between me and the challenges that I faced later on in life, such as wrestling. And the staff is always so understanding and friendly, you know your children are in good hands.I truly miss going here, but I am happy knowing that my time here was not wasted, and made me a better person.Thank you Master Scott Sonu and other staff ❤“

“If I could combine quality,good staff members, and overall satisfaction I would. This place overall satisfied me and made me continue to work. I've trained here for three years, and I never had a horrible experince or even a bad one. Love this place and will always be in my ♥.“

“Very wonderful instruction. Clean and nice studio. It is a bit pricey, but good quality comes with a price. Only drawback I see is the lack of options for classes seems very set in stone.“

“This is a great dojo for people seeking traditional shotokan karate. A real gem. Great people, great training, lots of history.“

“Great place to learn and work out! They teach a mix of karate and traditional techniques and discipline but also blend in practical self defense and MMA style training. I highly recommend checking this dojo out°“

“I trained for 3 1/2 years under Master Tim and Jon. They create an amazing family like atmosphere and are the best teachers I know. I started when I was just 9 years old in 2009. I’m 21 now and to this day going to this school was the most valuable experience of my life. I was taught from a young age discipline and how to overcome fear along with knowledge of the beautiful art form that is Hwa Rang Do. They have full contact sparring so you know that what you learn here is the real deal. It’s been an absolute privilege and honor being their student. It’s been almost 10 years since my last day and I still think about my experiences there quite often. If you want to learn Martial Arts, HWA RANG DO is a hidden gem.“

“My name is Brandy Wright and I am one of the instructors for the kids class at this location. I know that I speak for Hanshi Fred Buck, Sempai Sickles and myself when I say that we truly love Kyokushin Karate and we love teaching our art to those who want to learn it.We receive great joy in watching our students learn and grow. We are a Dojo founded on love, respect and family not on large class sizes and making money. We do what we do because we love it, not because we love money.We would enjoy for you to visit us, check out class and see if it is a good fit for your child or for you.Osu!“

“We’ve been attending Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Self Defense for 3 weeks now, and we absolutely love it! The discipline and structure they provide are amazing, and it’s clear that the instructors genuinely care about each student’s progress. My 8-year-old son looks forward to every class, and we’ve seen such positive growth in his confidence, focus, and self-defense skills. The staff is incredibly attentive, making sure every child feels supported and engaged. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a safe, fun, and educational environment for their kids! #GracieGarcia #BrazilianJiuJitsu #KidsSelfDefense #ParentApproved“

Everyone is amazing, helpful, and friendly. The instructors are so patient and passionate about what they do. Mr. Williams, Mr. Thornton, Mr. Reed & Devin, all awesome. My sons have been taking classes here for a month now and they absolutely LOVE it, 100% recommend.“

“Fabulous academy! Clean and well maintained! Amazing instructor team! And super fun competitors!“

“I am so grateful to have found such an awesome organization. I have learned so much, building my self confidence and learning tools to defend myself in any situation. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and take the time to come over and help when needed. They answer any and all questions you may have. The seminars that they put on are extremely helpful and very beneficial. I look forward to going to class every day. Everyone that I have come into contact with going to class are very nice and welcoming. The ones that I have been going for a year or years plus also help willingly and go at your pace. There’s no other place that I would rather go to for training.“
