They are learning how to defend themselves, gaining more confidence, practicing self discipline, and much more. My 14 year old is also in the ATA Legacy Instructor Training Program which teaches leadership skills that will be used her entire life. My 9 year old loves the positive discipline he receives. He thrives off of being built up by his team but also enjoys building up others. I joined about six months after my kids because Sr. Master Healey started a Mom's Club. It was life changing. Not only for my health but, also for my family. It brought us closer together because we were doing things as a family. No matter how hard we try as parents I think we all lack something somewhere. Healey's Legacy Master Martial Arts has helped fill that gap. I can't thank Mr. and Mrs. Sr. Master Healey enough. They (including Mr. Healey, Master Orvis, and Master Mckersie) are so passionate about what and how they teach. They are all amazing instructors! Very seldom can you find this kind of value. I/we are so blessed to be a part of this family (school).

Master Ray Fisher is a force of nature. His depth of understanding of Kenpo, Qi Gong, and other…read morestyles and concepts of martial arts is only surpassed by the depth of his compassion for every one in his dojo/family. He is especially brilliant with kids, who snap to attention at his booming voice, but smile and giggle when he gets silly working with each one individually. He lays out exactly what he expects of his students and of parents (oh yes, you will have homework) and is always encouraging and positive - lavishing praise for the ones who work hard and try their best, and correcting and asking for better of those who fall short. Ms. Lyn is also amazing in her role as a second instructor, and my son especially loves training with her. She demands the best of her students, but ends up being the one who plays the most games with the kids. The students here are kind, funny, and very helpful to the lower ranks. I don't see a trace of ego in anyone who trains at this dojo, which is my number one concern at any martial arts school. It really does feel like a family, which is a rare thing to say for someone like me, who has become a bit jaded after experiencing a few too many "belt-a-month" schools. If you really want your child or yourself to learn the self mastery that can come from being a martial artist, then you should consider ACS first and foremost. Although many schools have wonderful programs, this one stands apart because of the humble, kind, and exacting leadership of Master Ray and his team.

I have been involved with ACS Karate on and off for over a decade. Originally forced by my parents…read moreto do karate as a pre-teen, I would be lying if I told you I really wanted to go those early years. Although I first resented my parents for forcing me to get involved in the sport, time has given me perspective and I can honestly say that it was one of the most defining activities of my youth. Now in my 20's, I am still involved in the martial arts and can see the benefits of my training in my everyday life. I spent several years enrolled in Chinese Kenpo classes, which is more or less traditional karate. Kenpo is a practical self-defense style, focused on real-world applications. As a small female, I appreciate learning techniques that can keep me safe in any situation. Kenpo not only gave me the skillset I need to keep myself safe, but it also gave me confidence in my ability to do so. This style of karate is excellent for teaching young children respect, dedication, self-control, friendship, and confidence... but the benefits aren't just for kids. No matter their age, everyone will benefit from training in Kenpo. Now as an adult, I still benefit from years of physical and mental conditioning in these classes. After a few years of training in Kenpo, I decided to join the kickboxing classes for a different kind of workout. Most recently, I got into Tai Chi and Qi Gong as my interest in "calmer" sports grew. While I no longer participate in Kenpo or kickboxing, I am still a student in the Tai Chi and Qi Gong disciplines. Although I never participated in these classes, ACS Karate also offers training in Jiu Jitsu, mixed martial arts (MMA), and weaponry. Master Ray Fisher and his staff are as dedicated as any true karate "masters" must be. Professor Fisher has been training in karate and other martial arts for 35+ years and has been the owner of this "dojo" for over 25 years. That in itself is a true testament to his technical skills and business savvy. He is a kind man and his passion for the martial arts is apparent in every way. Professor Fisher's dedication to his students makes this dojo stand out from all other karate schools in the Phoenix area. He is truly interested in each student and takes the time to identify their personal goals and develop strategies to achieve them. I have seen Master Fisher work with both young children and elderly individuals, treating everyone with the same level of respect and attention. ACS Karate offers classes six days a week so "not having time" isn't a good excuse to stay home. They have group classes, as well as private one-on-one training sessions. Professor Fisher is committed to helping you train, so he will sometimes schedule appointments outside business hours if your schedule requires it. Occasionally they offer various clinics in weapons, basic self-defense, and Eastern medicine/healing techniques. They also host and attend tournaments and conferences to give you the chance to interact with other martial artists from around Phoenix. Give ACS Karate a call. Ask for Master Fisher. You will not be disappointed!!!

I used to run a bit, but with the expanded summers in AZ now starting in March and continuing through November, running is unreliable because it is too hot outside! As a child I took Karate, and then briefly again in my 20s, now as a 40 year old I was looking for a way to get a higher level of activity and found the folks at World Martial Arts Academy. I took advantage of the free class offered through their website (just email them, their response is rapid) and was welcomed to the class. It was an excellent work out and was focused on training for health and performance, exactly what I was looking for in a martial art. I have taken classes from Jason, he is excellent. He has shown a willingness to work with people both individually and as a full class, using both patience and humor to demonstrate correct forms, steps, and technique.
