Dear Sr. Master Moody, Your program has had a positive impact on many aspects of Amanda’s life! Since joining your school, her self-esteem has increased significantly and we are all so much happier! Karate for Kids is Wonderful! Thanks Again!

Martial Arts has provided an environment in which both my children and I can succeed. The values that are stressed are those that we try to teach our children. Personally, it has provided an opportunity for physical challenge and a community that is encouraging. And as the child of a mother with special needs, it has provided a way for our son to be successful in a caring and supportive environment. I couldn't recommend it more highly!

My children had been in Tae Kwon Do for about 6 months before I started. They had made great progress towards the goals we had signed them up for: discipline and confidence. So I decided to join them for the Mother and kids class in May three years ago. We had a great time together as a family and I got to witness first hand what they had learned. I was hooked. The lessons mirror our family's values. The school is a great family atmosphere as well as a place to refine and learn martial arts skills. By taking the same curriculum as my children, we are able to help each other practice for testing so we all can be successful and push each other to be better people and martial artists. We can't imagine our lives without martial arts. Thanks!

The Karate for Kids Program has something for every member of the family. My oldest has been training for 6 years and is developing real leadership skills. His younger brother and sister are learning how to listen, pay attention and follow directions!3rd Degree Black Belt Jake Petty!

I started this program at the young age of 5 maybe 6 and I love it. I learned many important skills such as how to help someone who is being bullied, how to stay calm when being bullied, what to do during a school shooting, and many more important skills. I miss doing it since I moved to Kauai. It was a lot of fun and I totally recommend it to parents and kids. It helped a lot when I was having a rough day and needed to get the anger out. The staff was so kind and they also provided private lessons if you needed them.

Zach has learned greater respect for others since starting Karate. We have seen a tremendous improvement in his self-confidence. We feel the life skills he is learning will help him greatly in dealing with the stress of growing up facing him in the future.

Ryan was spending at least 6-7 hours a day on the computer, but since starting Karate 2 months ago, he has spent a lot less time on the computer, more time outside – he’s a much happier boy! Thanks Guys!

The increases I have noticed from my eight year old son are amazing. He is faster, has better reflexes and is no longer clumsy because his balance has improved! He really is learning as well as participating in the lessons and I’m so proud of how far he’s come in such a short time. I am very excited to see how far he will go! I appreciate the staff of KarateBuilt™ Martial Arts Academy so much for everything they do for these kids and my son!

My 6 y/o daughter has been in Karate with Master Sanborn for a couple months now . We came in with another family as well that's her friend and has a 4 y/o boy . She is an orange belt and and gets excited every week( if she did something good which lately is more often then not)and she gets a new star on her belt. She just counted 25 stars and got a silver shiny patch. Her confidence is building a lot and I can tell the difference in her behavior. We still have a lot of things to work out but I figure once we get to Black Belt she'll be thanking me. But the whole staff here is great and made my shy girl into a Karate machine! We love it!

My son and I are both students at the location in Cave Creek. Our experience has been excellent! My son started at 5 years old, and after over 2 years, he has developed incredible discipline, focus, respect, and fitness. I can not recommend this studio enough, and I believe every parent should have their child enroll in martial arts. As for myself, I love taking the adult classes as well. It has increased my strength both mentally and physically. A great studio with great instructors!

Ms. Pate-Lamb

My son started Karate at age 5. He is now a Black Belt at age 7. He was recently diagnosed with a developmental coordination disorder that affects his gross and fine motor skills. His medical provider attributed his Karate training as contributing to his ability to compensate and has been therapeutic!

The Leadership program has helped Sammy with self-esteem at home and at school. He is always the first child to help his teachers & help Mommy at home. He has gotten more comfortable with being in front of other people. This has been a very positive experience!
