Martial Arts Schools near Quartz Hill

“I am 45 years old and have been learning under Master Quinlan for almost three years. My 8 year old son and 11 year old daughter also take karate here under Master Quinlan. I have attended other karate establishments, but I have never found anything matching the quality of instruction that I receive here. Master Quinlan teaches practical, useful karate and self-defense and belts are earned, not given. In the last three years, I have seen my kid’s confidence in themselves grow tremendously as well as my own, and as a father I am beginning to feel confidence in my children’s ability to protect themselves in dangerous situations, even at their age.
One of the things I respect most about Master Quinlan is that he holds his students accountable, holds them to high standards, and yet maintains such a good rapport among them. As a high school teacher, I understand the difficulty of being able to maintain both high standards and good relationships, but he does an exceptional job at both. Another thing that I respect about Master Quinlan from the perspective of a teacher, is that, just as a good school teacher differentiates instruction for students with different needs, so does Master Quinlan. I have never seen him refuse any student that wants to learn, but rather meet students where they are with the goal of simply making them better, one step at a time. I would highly recommend Quartz Hill Karate to anyone, young and old.“

“The coach does extremely well with my daughter (4) to get her to understand the instructions. All the kids do so well working with each regardless the age difference. My family and I feels so welcome and comfortable. I highly recommend it to anyone. Extremely friendly, family oriented, clean, and supportive.“

“We first started coming to The Hidden Dojo a few years ago. First my children were enrolled. I felt the Sensei had a great teaching style. I decided to try the teens and adults class for myself. I had not regularly exercised since school PE in the 90s, so I was terrified. But I ended up LOVING it. Everyone including classmates and staff are all kind, inviting and encouraging. I highly recommend trying a class.“

“Coach Jerry is amazing with the kids. My son has really flourished and loves coming to train.“

“While I don’t personally participate in the karate classes at Okinawa-Te Karate, I absolutely love the yoga classes they offer. I’ve been attending Michelle’s class for several years now, and I try to go weekly whenever I can.

What I love most about her class is that it isn’t a traditional, rigid yoga style. A lot of traditional yoga can eventually become hard on the body, especially the joints, and often repeats a limited range of poses that don’t always reach deeper or overlooked areas of the body. Michelle’s approach is completely different. She is very non-traditional and incorporates a variety of movements and techniques she has learned into her yoga practice, allowing us to work parts of the body that you may not have even realized needed attention. She is truly a master at understanding how the body moves and finding new, intelligent ways to activate, strengthen, and release different areas.

Michelle always begins with a mindful conversation that gently invites you to reflect on how you think. She doesn’t tell you what to think, she simply offers cues that guide you deeper into your own awareness, which I find incredibly powerful for the mind, body, and spirit.

After class, we move into a deep relaxation and meditation. Sometimes it’s a short sound bath, sometimes a guided meditation, but every time it’s exactly what I need. I always leave feeling grounded, restored, and centered.

Almost all props are provided, so you can truly come as you are, though I would recommend bringing your own mat. The floors are padded like a traditional martial arts space, which makes it very comfortable on the knees and joints.

I’ve also met some of the karate instructors and staff, and everyone I’ve encountered has been kind, welcoming, and warm.

I highly recommend this place, whether you’re there for yoga, karate, or simply a supportive and respectful community.“

“My 6 year old son attends the summer camp program. Staff are so friendly and attentive. I love outing they offer the kiddos and my son really enjoys the “ninja classes”. We will return next year.“

“My little sister has vastly improved her taekwondo in a short matter of time, staff are the quintessential most superb people that you could find in the AV area.“

“My son has grown so much with his class! His instructor is knowledgeable, kind, respectful, and always willing to help his students. Classes are affordable and has sessions to accommodate my schedule. If you want your child to be able to self defend themselves, get exercise, learn discipline, meet new people, then, I highly recommend you join! My son has earned his belts and to see him accomplish this, its very rewarding! Thank you Master and your instructors for a great job!!“
