Paradise Valley School Of Karate — Local services in Phoenix

Paradise Valley School of Karate has exceeded all my expectations...times 10! From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew we had found something special. Sensei Mike Wall is an outstanding person and a living legend in the karate world. Guro Heather Wall is a phenomenal person, highly skilled, and a fantastic instructor. There are many other instructors who are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about sharing their expertise with their students.

The curriculum for the children is phenomenal with a focus on traditional martial arts values such as discipline, respect, focus, and perseverance. It's been a treat watching so many kids grow not only through the ranks but also into such responsible, focused, and confident young adults.

What truly sets this school apart, besides its supportive community and national competitive team spirit, is the life skills learned. From fellow students to instructors, everyone is genuinely invested in each other's success and growth. The positive atmosphere makes every training session enjoyable and motivating.

I highly recommend Paradise Valley Karate School to any parent wanting their child to learn positive life skills and build self-confidence. To the person who is looking to embark on a journey of self-discovery, personal pride, and growth, and martial arts mastery. You'll not only learn valuable skills but also become part of a supportive community that feels...

Started taking my kids to PV Karate 3 months ago. They go twice a week and LOVE every class. It's about more than Karate for us - my kids are learning respect, discipline, listening skills, working hard, repetition, and soaking up all the knowledge of the sport. We've already attended a competition to be able to watch the advanced students, and it got us all fired up for the next class and progression. Sensei Mike Wall commands attention from the group in a gentle and fun way. No ego, no yelling. I can tell he truly loves guiding these kids. And Guro Heather has been so pleasant as well in helping me learn how to help my kids progress. The kids went to Spring Break camp and loved it - totally affordable, btw. The other kids who attend this dojo have all been welcoming and friendly to my kids as well. There's definitely a spirit of acceptance, mutual respect and students helping other students learn the correct movements. We're really enjoying these classes and I'm excited to see my kids advance...

My 16 year old son started with this incredible school 10 years ago and has continued to get great work experience at the dojo helping with their after school program. He has developed responsibility, respect, honor, discipline, and confidence. This is truly an amazing community with great instructors who support children to grow into the best they can be. My son is really growing into a fine young man, and Paradise Valley School of Karate being an influence on him for the past 10 years is a big part of that. Self defense is important for kids, but the family environment they create here is so much more than just self defense. My son has used his body awareness and abilities developed in karate in many other sports, has been able to protect himself from bullies, and is self-motivated to maintain a healthy body and workout. They also have a legitimate lineage that goes back to Okinawa. Highly...
