“I've recently started training with Gracie Barra Avondale. I have to say that I am very happy with their program. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.I was nervous starting a new discipline at my age, but they quickly set me at ease. I highly recommend that anyone that is thinking about starting training, I personally would recommend Gracie Barra Avondale.“
“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%.“
“Amazing place… if you are looking for place to teach you self defense look no further!“
“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 place and great Instructors
Clean Local gym with a personal touch and good jitz“
“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.“
“This place is great with kids! Sensei David and sensei Guillermo are great mentors. My kids have grown so much!“
“I highly recommend Ares Goodyear BJJ! We brought our son here to try out a class, and the moment he walked in he was so excited about it, he told me after class that this was his future. He wanted to be a black belt, and own his own academy and teach others jui jitsu. Professor Queixinho is very knowledgeable and welcoming. All the professors and coaches give a lot of detail to their teaching in a way that gets you excited to train and even compete. It didn't take long til everyone in our family decided to try jui jitsui too. It's been over 3 1/2 years now and we truly love this place.“
“I normally don’t write reviews but this one is definitely worth it. If you’re looking into karate classes for your child/ren, Legendary is definitely the place to be! 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.“
“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 ❤“
