Martial Arts Schools near El Mirage

“I love this jiu jitsu academy!! Great family oriented gym. Hands down best price in town.
Instructors Shaq and Andi Cruz both come from a legendary lineage.
The amount of knowledge they both have still amazes me to this day.

My 3 kids and I have been attending since June of 2023 and my only regret is not starting years sooner.
I've lost 35 lbs since joining and feel great.
My son occasionally takes private lessons in boxing and muay Thai taught by Shaq. And I can definitely see a HUGE improvement in both his stand up and ground game.
It's a good feeling knowing my kids can take care of themselves if push comes to shove, especially my two girls.

Whether you want to get in shape or learn self defense I highly recommend Team Monstro Jiu Jitsu.“

“We signed our son up 3 months ago. He absolutely loves his taekwondo class. Master An is great teacher. So far we've seen improvements in our sons confidence levels and physical fitness, and he's eager to learn more. I highly recommend.

Update: 5 months in and we are still seeing continuous improvements in his level of discipline, confidence, fitness, and self management.“

“We have been going to Gracie Barra for 4 months now and we love it! Could not recommend enough! The coaches are great with the littles and it helps them build so much confidence while having fun!“

“We have been part of the Destiny family for six years and to say they have had a tremendous impact on our lives is an understatement. Our kids have learned kindness, discipline, self-control, leadership skills, and perseverance. Destiny Martial Arts is a family of the most caring and knowledgeable people who genuinely care about our kids and their successes, both in and out of the studio. We feel blessed to have been part of this community and are thankful for all their continued dedication to our kids.“

“Best thing to happen to my kid. He loves going and they are teaching him so many things. The Karate is great bit even more so is the camaraderie and the life lessons.“

“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!“

“Signed my son up a year ago just to try it out and he ended up finding a passion for martial arts. The instructors are absolutely amazing with him and everyone else. It’s been a very friendly and comforting experience for my son. Thankful we found LMA!“

“We’ve been bringing our daughters here to train for almost two years, and we absolutely love the family-focused environment. Jujitsu has truly helped them build focus and a determination to improve for themselves. Every coach knows each child by name, and it truly shows how much they care. Thanks to Coach London and Coach Carsen for their dedication to helping every child develop discipline and self-confidence.“

“Former student of Tae Kwon Do under Master Choi. He is very thorough with his training and disciplines his students.

Under choi I was a a 1st degree black belt and the dojo was off of 83rd Ave and union hills since then he has moved to a bigger location down the street.“

“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“

“Taekwonkids is a spectacular place to learn Taekwondo as it was intended, to inherit its life changing values, and to find a welcoming, loving community. With lessons from here, anyone can become the best version of themself.“

“Great instructors - Sensei Atkinson and Sensei Gunn are both knowledgeable and fun, engaged their students very well. Mrs Gunn who handle registration/reception is fantastic, kind and nice, super helpful, and the charges and purchased items are always clearly listed and arrive on time as promised.
They utilize an app called Sparks, which is easy to use, show the schedule and ongoing events as well as your kids progress. Unlike some other dojo we have been, this one does belt testing according to your ability and punctuality. They truly care for your kids, and since my daughter joined the dojo, she is more focus and follow directions better.

They have coaches who are students there with higher belts, and they are very good, very enthusiastic and patience with kids as well, very well organized place!
Highly recommend this dojo!“

“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.“

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

“Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, and the rest of the teachers are saints. They are patient and helpful. They take so much pride in the facility and teaching of Tae Kwon Do.“

“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.“
