Goals First… Why KarateBuilt Starts With What You Want for Your Child
When a family walks into KarateBuilt Martial Arts in Cave Creek, the first thing we talk about is not kicks or schedules. It’s what you want for your child: more confidence, better focus in school, a kid who stands up for himself, or a shy kid who finally raises her hand in class.
Every family starts with a free trial and a free uniform. Call or text (602) 737-2098 to book the first visit, or stop by 29850 N. Tatum Blvd., Suites 105 & 106.
Goals come first
The goal sets the plan for everything that follows. A parent who wants a calmer, more focused child needs a different plan than a parent whose teenager wants to compete.
I’ve trained students for nearly four decades and run schools for over thirty years. The families who get the most out of martial arts knew what they were working toward from day one. That’s where we start.
When we ask what you want for your child, don’t say: “We’re just trying it out.” Say: “I want him more focused at school.” That one sentence tells us how to teach your child from the first class.
The first visit
An instructor meets you at the door and gives you a tour. Your child’s first class is a private lesson (one on one), so they can get comfortable and ask questions without a room full of kids watching. Nervous is normal… every Black Belt in our school walked in nervous once!
You’re welcome to watch. A lot of parents end up training with their kids. You get to learn everything as well!
Why KarateBuilt isn’t a drop-in class
KarateBuilt is a goal-based program. Students work toward Black Belt and beyond, one belt at a time, with a test about every two months (in front of their family). They build confidence and focus by coming to class week after week.
Most kids’ activities are built around a season, so plenty of families have watched a child lose interest after a month. That’s normal. Working toward a goal is something different.
If you want a drop-in class or one season of something, a rec center program is a good fit. If you want your child to work toward something and be proud of it, that’s what we do!
The 30-day guarantee
Every new family gets a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the first 30 days are not the best thing you’ve ever done for your child, you get 100% of your money back…or even if it’s not a good fit!
It’s there so you can decide based on what you see your child do.
What parents say
We asked a number of our students’ parents to finish the following sentence: “KarateBuilt is the best thing I’ve ever done for my kid because…..”
“… he has learned to speak up and say what he means. I’ve seen great improvement in every aspect of his life.” Curtis V. 
“… my daughter has a place to put her energy where the answer is yes instead of sit down.” Scott S.
“… my son is finally proud of something he built himself. Nobody handed him that belt.” Morgan L. 
“… he doesn’t hesitate when speaking to adults and is probably more confident than me now.” Shannon P.
“… he told me that he will work very hard to get to BLACK BELT. He is so motivated since joining KarateBuilt. Not only in karate but in other aspects too. He enjoys every minute of class, it is so engaging and entertaining. He is 4.” Ravali N. 
“… my child finally believes she can do hard things. She used to quit before she started. Now she finishes.” Lindsay S.
What tuition includes
Tuition is all-inclusive: uniforms, sparring gear, belts, special events and Parent Nights Out. There are no belt testing fees at any rank.
