The Saldivar family are what I would consider pinnacles of our society. It's this fathers opinion…read morethey are one of the best places in SA to take your children or to train for yourself. I have great admiration for Mr & Mr's Saldivar and am very proud to say that our children went to their academy. I'm sure there are many different martial art academies or dojos around San Antonio to choose from but I would argue there are probably few that are comparable to Saldivar Martial Arts (SMA) when it comes to training in every aspect from martial arts to mind, body, and soul. The Saldivars are Christian so God is also a very important presence in their lives. Their faith is evident and as Christians ourselves having them speak into our children lives was all the better. We found out about SMA at our sons kindergarten school orientation as part of their after-school program (2014). Since both my wife and I had jobs and could not pick him up when school was over this seemed like a good option. Fast forward 5 years (2019)... one of the best decisions we ever made. For not only our oldest but for our second child as well. Both siblings attended SMA and we were blessed to see them grow and mature in every way. Their skills progressed as did their rank. There aren't very many 9 year olds who can say they earned a black belt but for our son, after many years of dedication and hard work and with the consideration of Mr. Saldivar a few weeks before his 10th birthday he had a black belt wrapped around his waist. For my wife & I... one of the proudest moments in our son's life. I almost tear up as write these words because I say again... we were blessed to have Mr. & Mrs. Saldivar in our lives. We grew very fond of not only them but of their instructors as well. I know there's a cliche about being "part of family" but here at SMA, it truly is a FAMILY. Our family and especially the kids made good friends that we will have a relationship with for a lifetime. It was in 2018 when we moved to a new home in another nearby town. During that time our son was in training to receive his black belt. It was a bit of a struggle but we continued to make the effort to attend classes. A lot of late nights and mileage but it was worth it. There was simply no other place we would go in order for him to get a black belt. The journey began at SMA and would end there no matter the inconvenience of living in another town. At this time (2020) the kids have decided to take on other activities (gymnastics & baseball). While we are not presently active we know that we would be welcomed back with open arms at any time. We love you Saldivar family! RAMCLAN

And their sports programs rock! If you're looking to start your kid out in a league where they don't trash talk, they develop your child self-respect, skills, and build them into good moral characters for sports. This is the place for your kids. The leagues are not highly competitive. The coaches don't jar at each other like they're trying to win a championship. But they are still competitive. Of course, I am a little biased because I have coached the basketball teams between the ages of five and 10. The thing I love about the nine-year-old and 10-year-old division for basketball is a play at a local church. That's a much bigger gym, if you have homeschool kids like me, they get a good feel for what it's like to play if they were to go to high school. My kids have played flag football there and basketball there and really enjoyed just the camaraderie and getting out and getting some exercise.
