Coach Michael is firm and fun, balancing proper technique and discipline with a good sense of humor and levity. He has high expectations and I love watching my children work to meet them. Elsie is a great manager and very helpful. I recommend that parents who are looking for structure and a caring environment check out One Ten Jiu Jitsu.

Our GJJ spot has extremely high standards when it comes to instruction, cleanliness, mats, students, vibe and etc. That said, this CTC holds the same standard. The locker room, shower (complete with accoutrements), seating area and overall vibe were at the highest level. The owners/instructors Emily and Darin are extremely helpful, friendly and giving, as are the students. You will have a fantastic time training here!

Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, there's definitely value to be had. The culture is friendly and competitive without being toxic--people roll hard but respectfully. Mat etiquette is solid, and the higher belts are approachable and willing to help. Only reason it's not 5 stars is consistency--some classes can vary depending on who's teaching, and the warm-ups can feel a bit rushed or skipped entirely on certain days. Also wish there were a few more no-gi classes during the week. That said, if you're serious about improving and want a positive training environment, this place is definitely worth checking out.

The instructors are wonderful…read morewith kids and not only teach movement of the body but also instill important life principals as to how respect other people and the environment around us. We are immensely grateful to the owners and staff at ATA and are so sad our time is cut short due to a move to Tucson. In informing the owner we were leaving he immediately inquired as to ways our son can keep going with martial arts in Tucson and offered to share resources that we could look into. That is the incredible customer service and care that is hard to come by and so appreciated. We highly recommend ATA for kids of any age!

They are very safe- everyone wears masks and stays 6ft apart, washing the floor between classes and spraying equipment down after each person uses it. It's more than the physical martial arts classes, they also teach the kids to respect the instructors, each other and themselves. They teach discipline in a friendly and fun atmosphere. I highly recommend Lee's ATA!

I go between this location and the Tempe gym on Guadalupe & McClintock. I take class most often…read morewith Rico, he's fantastic! The other trainers at this location are great as well. I love that I can use OTF in many locations and the gym layout is generally the same and workouts are going to be challenging and effective. My opinion on places like Orangetheory or other group fitness places is that for someone *new* to working out, it's sometimes useful to start in a less intense workout environment. Not everyone thinks that, but I've observed myself over the years and anytime I do group fitness classes I tend to push myself much harder than I would working out alone (which is a great benefit). There's a lot of high energy going around in a group setting, however without a solid foundation of safe body mechanics and knowing one's own body, it can be possible to go too fast, push beyond what is reasonable, and get hurt. OTF is great for people building up their fitness levels and have a habit of exercising in some capacity. All levels are welcome but just know the workouts are fast paced and intense most of the time. I had stopped going to group weight training classes for a period of time, then started working 1:1 with a trainer, and when I returned to OTF I could tell the difference in how I prioritized doing the moves correctly and with good form, versus just going fast, using momentum, or trying to keep up with others. That's just my 2 cents. Overall, I keep going to OTF because it's one of many things that helps keeps my body moving and that's a good thing for my functional capacity as I continue to age. And it helps maintain my overall health & fitness as I continue to work my way through my long Yelp list of places to eat ;)

The women who work the front desk were always rude to me. I finally cancelled because I felt so…read moreunwelcome. I cancelled April 29th and was told my last billing date would be 5/4. I even had spoke to somebody on the phone in addition to filling out the cancellation form. Fast forward to today, I'm looking through my bank statement and see I was charged again on 6/4. I re-download the OTF app and there's a whole class pack in my account. Sure enough, they had left me on as if I was still attending. I texted to speak with somebody. Never was given grace about the issue. Never spoken to with kindness. I was just told they never got a confirmation of the form. They kept asking me about the confirmation email I was sent and I told them I never got one. I even filled out another cancellation form, and still wasn't sent an email. Just crazy to have been charged, and haven't been going and then to be spoken to like that. Arcadia studio has better energy and customer service than this place.

As a former student and martial arts instructor, I feel obligated to share my honest experience…read morewith Dragon Snake MMA. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this gym. 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.

Take the trial! You'll be hooked!…read more I have not had such personal attention from other 'sport' studios that my children have been involved in as I have had at Arizona Karate Academy. My 13 yr old son wanted to start a martial arts. After some research he wanted to try the 'trial' at Arizona Karate Academy. He was hooked after he first class. The first time the owner met us, he knew us by name, after having​ only spoken to us once by phone. Very impressed. The owner makes it a priority to know each student individually. The other senseis are also good, kind and personable, yet they teach us discipline and respect. They correct with encouragement and take the time to walk around and give individual pointers. Emily at the desk is very friendly, very helpful and patient with my family with our many questions. Plus AKA teaches life skills. Skills about confidence, respect hard work and perseverance. Things we all need, but I especially want my kids to learn. Now my 8 yr old son wants to join the same Karate studio and I'm considering it for myself.
