Phoenix Rising Institute of Martial Arts

Mar 2026

My two daughters have been going to taekwondo here with teacher Mr. Drath for many years now. John Drath has been an amazing and inspiring teacher and has a great team to support him in teaching martial arts. Our family highly recommends his studio!

The institute emphasizes important values beyond simply martial arts to cultivate good habits, growth, and humility while balancing them with activities that keep children entertained. They also promote mutual respect between genders and races while simultaneously explaining its reason for importance.

My 6 yrs old daughter started her training with coach John and coach Kurisu this summer now continuing to the fall. It’s a really cool place for little ones to have some exercise and learn good attitudes towards challenges in life. In addition this place is not one of those heavily commercialized martial arts place. All coaches teaches with passion. For those of you who couldn’t reach the place via phone call or email, just keep trying.😀. Also feel free to drop by. They are open daily from 4-5 for sure.
