We have come a long way since we first opened our karate studio back in 1995 to become one of the most respected schools in Scottsdale. Martial arts has a lot to offer children and adults alike in developing focus, self discipline, an outlet to control aggression, a positive environment, or just to provide a fun activity for the entire family. Our karate studio has a flexible class schedule featuring lower and higher belt kata and short forms, self defense, body conditioning, grappling, combat Kenjutsu, weapons handling such as Iaido, and much more. In addition to martial arts, our students will learn leadership and character building skills such as listening, respect, concentration, honor, courage, and sportsmanship. All classes are taught by our owner, Tim VanDenover, in a family-friendly, fun environment and we welcome all age ranges.
