Martial Arts

I was just doing a delivery to this dojo. I engaged in a general conversation with Mr. Hioki. He struck me as a very considerate individual that I would never want to upset. He offered me an opportunity to try something outside my box. My daughter has been in karate for 8 years. She is amazing.

My daughter has been taking taekwondo classes for the past few months and she loves it. The instructors are great with the kids and the kids seem to enjoy themselves as well. I personally enjoy watching all the little ones learning their moves, it's amazing to see them all advance to their next belt. They all do such a great job.

Scott is a great teacher. He is very good with my son.

A great place filled with great people. A very hands on approach and a very personal feeling program. Each instructor very clearly cares for each and every student and strives to make them a better fighter and person.

I've studied at this school, off and on, for a while, and this is, by far, the best martial arts school in Phoenix. This is a very serious place to study and you have to interview to be accepted, which I really like. The instructors are very well trained and you'd better be ready for some application of these techniques to your body. It is a comprehensive system that has real-world application to today's environment, in that you will learn how to defend yourself in many ways, including against multiple opponents. You can learn how to use a variety of weapons as well. I highly recommend this martial arts studio, but only if you are serious about the arts. The also teach young children as well, but in a fun and less serious manner than the adults.

Amazing i trained there for 3 months and will be going back soon 100% recommended

Awesome instructors

This is a terrible store, they have nothing there,and forget about buying anything they might have because they don.t want to sell it. Why they are in business for is beyond me, and how they manage to stay in business is an even greater mystery. Do your self a favor and avoid, go online and do just what they do but for less.

I had been searching for a place for my daughter and I to learn self defense tatics. I had no idea what or who I was stumbling across. Scott is an amazing instructor! He cares for each person he is training and feels responsible for their progress. For a daughter who is painfully shy, he can reach. For a worried Mom who doesn't have considerable funds or time to invest, he can help. For situations unthought of, he has and teaches. Rarely have I ever referred people or places, but I highly recommend Scott and his facility. Learning what I have so far, I feel every female should go through his training. Literally it could save your life.

I adore this place. It is a escape from all the craziness outside those doors, I never knew that learning Jiu-Jitsu would do that. The instructors are beyond amazing and they truly care about you. They want you to get better in skill and of course with your body. You don't progress because you spent the most money or you've been there the longest; but because you are excelling and if you really care about the art. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is nervous or feeling self conscience about joining a form of martial art!

MMAC is an asset to the Ahwatukee community, providing traditional martial arts training where discipline is learned and advancement is earned. This is a traditional Japanese dojo, where everyone doesn't get a medal and you don't buy your child's blackbelt in 2 years; enablement, entitlement, and excuses are not tolerated. My son has been training with the Sensei's of MMAC since 2006, starting in their program held at the Ahwatukee YMCA at the age of 7. Anyone who has met my son will attest to his maturity, balance, and discipline, and I attribute much of that learned behavior to his dedicated training at MMAC.
