Martial Arts Schools in Gilbert

“We've previously tried other karate schools with our first kids (at big chain schools) and always felt it was just a conveyor belt system to push you through belts and milk you for $$ along the way while the kids just memorized basic routines. For our 3rd child, we came across M3 Karate as it was near our house, and the reviews were all VERY positive, so we gave it a try. Within 5 minutes of our intro class, we knew this was the school for our child. Our son had issues with confidence and coordination, and from the start, he held our son accountable and brought out a voice in him we hadn't heard before. After 2-3 months at the school now, our son enjoys the classes SO much and shows so much respect towards his teachers, and we feel confident we will remain at this school for a long time. The owner (and main instructor), Master Mendoza, holds the kids and parents accountable, provides them with real-life scenarios (bullies, etc) and he always has at least 3 instructors (all former students) for each class so your child gets a great experience with a good student-to-teacher ratio at this school. His instruction extends beyond the karate studio as he encourages his students to be better people at home. Our child now cleans his room more often, makes his bed and has a stronger voice in public with new people...alot of which comes from Master Mendoza offering incentives and also having certain "stripes" on their belt that come from at-home and/or school items. They offer flexible class schedules that work with our schedule and Ms. Amy (owner) keeps everything organized on the back end for a nice experience on all fronts. We can't recommend M3 Karate enough and encourage others to give it a try.“

“Hands down the best place for kids and adults. They teach structure and respect to the kids. I really also like they just don’t hand out belts. You definitely have to earn them. If you do fail they are there to help you succeed. Great lessons for the youngsters. Search is over if you’re looking!“

“This Tae Kwon Do school is amazing! Grandmaster Kim teaches all of his students with passion. He teaches useful techniques along with respect and discipline and makes the classes engaging for everyone. I would recommend this school for beginners and advanced students alike. I started from a black belt level and he helped me adapt and fine-tune my techniques. Definitely the best option for a quality Tae Kwon Do school in the valley.“

“Signed my daughter up for karate and she is loving it so far! The front office staff is really nice and makes the process of signing up super easy! It’s a great learning experience and opportunity for her to grow.“
