I would not trust this group. We have attended their show on 11/17. It was just fine for a local amateur studio. The problem is that the summary of the event they put up on the Chandler Center for the Arts' website (see included photo) was obviously misleading and left an impression that it would be a show by a professional company, it did not mention the name of the Academy at all. Had the summary mentioned that the show is produced by an amateur's studio we would have had very different expectation and would not have purchased the tickets. The company refused to take responsibility for this gross misrepresentation and refund our tickets.

My son has been with Phoenix Wushu Academy for 8 years and he grew up in this wonderful school. I'm so glad that I found this place, it is a wonderful family that encourages kids to not only be champions in their sport but to become a better human being as well. Through their professional training my son has blossomed into a national and international champion. I cannot be more proud of him and the school. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for high level training in Wushu and wonderful lasting friendships and community.

Phoenix Wushu Academy has changed my life. My decades-long desire to study Kung Fu has been realized under the sage instruction of Grandmaster Ho. I'm more flexible, and my stress levels, weight, and cholesterol are down. I am stronger and faster than I have been in years. My six year old son is studying now, and the Academy is our extended family. The instruction is award-winning and passionate, and the commitment to honor, leadership, discipline, loyalty and respect, permeate everything that they do. I'm even learning a little Mandarin and a lot about Chinese culture. We love it. Join this amazing family! read more

All my 3 daughters attend this school. Master Ho is a great teacher. Wushu has helps my girls to grow stronger in mind and physically. They also do Chinese dance. If I have another daughter or son, I would put her or him in Phoenix Wushu Academy too. I would recommend all parents to send their kids there. Kids need to move round and exercises. They cannot just sit in front of the computer all day. Phoenix Wushu Academy is a great place to be. Their facility is large and beautiful. Thanks Chloe read more

I know Phoenix Wushu Academy from a friend. We came for a class trial and my son really enjoyed it. We signed up for a beginner class on same day. Master Ho is our wushu master and he is very good in teaching wushu and taichi. Master Ho has tough and brought my son to win a gold metal in Las Vegas Wushu Competition Last year and we are looking forward to go to the next level of wushu competition in San Fransisco next year. Thank you Master Ho and miss Bonnie. read more

I have been going to this class for about a month now and love it. I did my research beforehand as…read moreanyone looking for any instructor should. I confirmed the instructor's lineage. I researched JKD and JKD Concepts in order to understand how they relate. Sharam Teaches JKD Concepts which is JKD as Bruce Lee taught it and includes additions from arts that have evolved since Bruce's passing. That is the nature of JKD. So I went to the trial class and asked Sharam some questions I had. He answered them all with straightforward answers. Since starting the class I have learned a ton of new and effective moves. I thought that I had learned some good fighting techniques in the military but what I've learned here is on a whole different level. If you are looking for a straight forward, efficient, powerful, and highly effective fighting system than you should check this place out.

During my time there, I experienced a lack of consistency in coaching, professionalism, and overall organization. I did not feel that the value I received matched the time and money I invested. One issue that stood out to me was being repeatedly asked to provide rides and transportation assistance. I was also asked for additional fees on multiple occasions, which left me feeling uncomfortable. I was also concerned by interactions between the coach and some female students, which I felt were inappropriate for a professional training environment. As a black belt and instructor myself, credentials and lineage matter. During my time at the gym, I was unable to verify any recognized black belt rank or instructor certifications that would support the level of expertise being presented. That raised serious concerns for me regarding the quality and legitimacy of the instruction being offered. Overall, I was looking for a gym that provided consistent coaching, professionalism, accountability, and a positive learning environment. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. This review reflects my personal experience and opinions based on my time training there. I encourage anyone considering this gym to do their own research, ask questions about instructor qualifications, and visit multiple schools before making a commitment.

As we were looking for the entrance, we noticed there was still a lot of construction going on, sand everywhere, and not fully done yet. Besides the wave pool and surf lagoon, they also have a diving pool, sand volleyball court, and seating areas in the sand. One thing we noticed, though, was that there were only about three lifeguards for the whole area when we were there. The luxury cabanas are located right next to the construction zone, so I'd probably wait until everything is done before renting one. At the entrance, that's where you can get beach passes for the River Wave and Surf Lagoon, rent cabanas, and also the restaurant. We got a table on the patio with a view of the wave pool, which was a nice spot to relax. We ordered wings, fries, and a couple of cocktails, perfect for chilling before dinner. I loved my cocktail; the color was so beautiful. We'll probably wait until construction is done before coming back.

I came to know PWA through a friend. The atmosphere while there is great and very family oriented, but I question some of the ways they do things. I have seen several kids kicked out for talking with people from other schools, then the teachers in PWA will tell their kids that they have been betrayed by those students (and if their students talk to them they will be punished). They do not allow students to communicate with outsiders or make friends at competitions. The Master often has other students teach for him during class or he will learn things from Youtube videos in class. It is very cult-like with a certain amount of brainwashing involved that is teaching the children bad life skills. Students are not allowed to keep the medals/trophies they earn at competitions, but the school instead takes them indefinitely to hang up for their glory. The Director, Bonnie, has been known to often talk behind people's backs and lie directly to other parents. (They claim to be Christian school; slander others then pray immediately after). There are a lot of things to say about this school, but all in all, I recommend you to stay away from here to avoid all problems before they start. 1/5 stars read more
