Came to this dojo almost 11 years ago, practiced with the baker brothers for nearly 4 years after that, they were absolutely amazing, ended up leaving without a notice, really wish I could have stuck with the program when I was younger. Best recommendation east of phoenix.

The people here are kind and welcoming, the instructors are helpful and make it clear you can ask for help, and it's overall a very friendly atmosphere. They often have events and you can learn different traditional weapons such as the Bo staff or Sai.
Wonderful instructors and age appropriate teaching. My son is learning to pay attention and follow directions. He also is learning respect and discipline. Highly recommend East Mesa Karate!!!!
