Martial Arts

I take Taekwondo with Master Kim and I think its simply an awesome way to stay in shape, be fit, and to learn self-defense all at the same time.

Excellent Experience. As a Jujitsu student at the Kodenkan Martial Arts Academy I am fortunate to learn and train under lead instructor John McGraugh, Shihan and Lawrence Maestas, O’Sensei. They are both dedicated and qualified instructors with years of teaching and practical experience. The atmosphere of the training environment is friendly and suited for all skill levels and ages. The course emphasizes character-forming values. A great way to get in shape while learning effective and practical self-defense techniques! As others have stated, the Kodenkan Martial Arts Academy offers a variety of courses, including Hiraido – MMA.

A good.

Did one trial class and signed up for a membership before I left the building. You can learn to fight for sport, for self defense, for fitness, whatever it is they do it all.

We have been there for 6 years. Very family friendly!!!

I am extremely pleased with the quality of service and teaching from: master L. My 5 year olds can not get enough of his classes this is an excellent introto martial arts for the tiny tigers .. As well as advanced training for the older people. A+

Both my children have been students here for years and they couldn't be happier! The self defense is only the the beginning. My autistic daughter couldn't stand still and focus when she started and now she is a blue belt, performing complicated techniques, competing in tournaments and smiling the whole time! They learn control, discipline and great values. Their teacher deeply cares about each and every student!

Excellent place to train and learn Krav. The staff is all very knowledgable and go out of their way to provide a fun and safe environment while still teaching about the real world scenarios.

What an excellent place to spend your free time. This academy is one of the best in town. Always friendly and eager to teach. Good for families, adults and children classes available. No better way to help your children build confidence and self esteem while learning from experienced and tested instructors. Try them out!

Can't say enough good things about this dojo! My son is part of the kid's MMA classes and he absolutely loves it. Sensei provides a blend of physical and mental discipline that all the children respond to in a positive learning experience. The active participation of the parents is also a great thing this dojo offers. Being an avid crossfitter myself I see that each class has a different flavor of crossfit training embedded. This provides the core fitness that both the children and other participants need for better overall performance. I would highly recommend anyone looking at classes for either themselves or their children to come in an try out this dojo. You won't be disappointed.

My son can be best described as a spirited child. He's a great kid but needed an outlet. We popped in one day for a FREE TRIAL CLASS and I was hooked! MY Martial Arts has done wonders for my son and our family as a whole. Mr. Desanto is a wonderful teacher! His patience and kindness is the reason why I choose this school. It is truly amazing to see how he interacts with the kids. I'm not convinced that there are many people in this world who can connect with and engage a room of small children like he can!! Classes are fun and my son looks forward to them. In the few short months he has been attending class, he has become more confident in himself, patient and respectful. A monthly "Ninja Night" is also an option. A great time for the kids (pizza and games) and an AWESOME opportunity for a Date Night for parents (WOO-HOO)!! Flexible class schedules that fit any hectic, busy family (like mine).Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed!

This place is great, the people are fantastic, this has become my second family!

My daughter enjoys her lessons here

I've been in Martial Arts since I was three years old. I've had the privilege of training with some incredible Sensai's from all over the world and I have trained all over the world. KoSho Karate is top notch and is still being taught the traditional way. This is not a dojo were somebody puts their own spin on stuff. If you want to learn to become a warrior, this is the authentic training that was taught to the people whose lives depended on their skill. I have found my dojo in Tucson!
