My son joined the Japan Karate Federation about one year ago and I cannot say enough good things…read moreabout all of the amazing accomplishments, growth and overall mental and physical strength he has gained from his practice. Sensei Langlais works so well with his students; he exemplifies leadership and promotes a well-rounded structure throughout his practice. My favorite part is that the students are taught to earn their achievements. If you are the type of person who is into participation awards then this dojo may not be for you. Every person works hard towards each promotion and it is not earned until every aspect required to move on has been perfected. My son is excited for every class and wholeheartedly tries to uphold the goals and requirements that are set out for him to keep moving forward. I think that no matter what your age or skill level, if you are looking for the hands-down best dojo in Tucson that this is the place to go!

My Son, and later, myself have been attending Gateway Martial Arts Academy since 2011. Since then,…read morewe have both entered numerous tournaments, brought home trophies, made new friends, and even hung out with Chuck Norris! For my Son, it has been a place for him to develop confidence, learn self defense and martial arts, and then go into the world and pressure test himself against others. It has given him huge confidence in dealing with his peers, and also made him faster, tougher, and more disciplined. It has been a supportive community for him to grow within, where each student matters. As a bonus, it is something that we can share as a family. Gateway Martial Arts is a United Fighting Arts Federation charter school, teaching the Chuck Norris System, which is based on Korean Tang Soo Do. The classes are taught by UFAF master black belts with decades of teaching and competition experience. I entered the adult class (adults are taught a bit differently) after watching my son do it and thinking it looked fun. I was a Karate drop out at 11 years old, and really didn't exercise at all. 40 years caught up to me, and I was going to need to exercise or start on the pills. I have gone from having goals involving my blood pressure, and blown straight through to goals about my performance at the national tournament in Vegas. Also, all those things I said about my son being more confident, faster, tougher, and more disciplined; that applies to me too.
