Our boys have been coming here since they were little and they have learned how to spar and defend…read morethemselves, but that's actually the least important of the things that they have learned from Peter and the other teachers. They stress that self defense is like an "insurance policy" and you should always avoid a confrontation if possible. Honestly my wife and I often talk about how Peter teaches life lessons and confidence as part of his process, and we quote him at home. I think we learn life lessons just from being in class with them! These are the lessons that they carry with them in almost every other activity and situation that they face. Kids are so busy nowadays and it's easy to overload their schedule but WMAA is something that we really find is worth every minute and every penny because of how good the teachers are with the kids. 5 stars.

My 10 year old son and I started attending World Martial Arts around 6 months ago. It's been an…read moreabsolutely amazing experience and I would highly recommend Peter's classes! * Peter's classes have provided an amazing opportunity for me to bond with my son. We attend all classes together with other parents and children, and we are learning together, being challenged together, and growing together. * Peter's classes have helped my son to grow both his physical skills as well as his mental focus, motivation, and confidence. Prior to joining this class, my wife and I struggled to find a sport or class that my son was drawn to or excited about. After just a few classes with Peter, our son shared he loved learning martial arts. Peter's classes developed my son's internal motivation and desire to grow and develop. * Peter has created a safe, respectful, and fun environment. Peter encourages people to do their best and challenge themselves, but encourages each individual to grow at their own pace. He makes sure everyone treats each other with respect. * Peter show tremendous care and really invests in the development of every individual child (and adult!) in his class. I'm always amazed at how much he really looks to understand and support every child and their individual needs and challenges.

Sunnyvale MAA is so much more than a martial arts after-school activity for our family. It has…read morebecome a true community that we are incredibly grateful to be a part of. From the very first visit, something felt different here. Nearly three years ago, I had explored another martial arts studio in Sunnyvale, and the experience felt impersonal and it just didn't feel like a place where my kids would truly belong. I didn't experience any of that at Sunnyvale MAA -- not on day one, and not now. What sets this place apart is the people. The instructors and the entire team here genuinely care -- not just about teaching technique, but about every single child as an individual. I have two kids enrolled, and I'm consistently amazed that all of the instructors know little details about both of my children, even the ones who haven't directly taught them. That level of attentiveness and personal connection is rare, and it speaks volumes about the culture and team have built here. My oldest started hesitantly, he told me he only wanted to make it to his second belt. That was his ceiling. Fast forward almost two years, and he is now setting his sights on black belt. That transformation didn't happen by accident. It happened because the instructors strike such a thoughtful balance of discipline, encouragement, and genuine support. They push the kids to grow while making sure they feel safe, seen, and celebrated along the way. Watching his confidence soar has been one of the most rewarding things I've witnessed as a parent. And the impact is contagious. My youngest spent nearly a year watching her brother thrive on that mat, and she couldn't wait any longer, she recently joined the Little Dragons program and absolutely loves it. Seeing both my kids light up when they walk through those doors, excited to see their friends and their KJNs, says everything. The community here is welcoming, inclusive, and warm in a way that is hard to put into words but impossible to miss. If you are on the fence about enrolling your child, come watch a class. You'll feel it immediately, and so will they.

My daughter started at SVMAA when she was 5, in the Little Dragons class. We initially enrolled her…read moreto help build her body confidence, and now, four years later at age 9, she's gained so much more: confidence in herself, perseverance, and discipline. She's now part of the performance team, where her teachers continue to push her growth not just in martial arts skills, but in teamwork, mental resilience, and leadership. The care that the owner and instructors put into their school is clear in everything they do. The teaching is structured and challenging, with high expectations, yet always warm, kind, and adaptable to each child's needs. The curriculum and expectations are clearly communicated, and the class schedule is very flexible, with multiple sessions offered for each level throughout each day to ensure that each family can choose the schedule that works best for them. I'm so grateful for SVMAA. It's an incredible community that has brought out the best in my daughter.

You can only train based on his availabilities. Would cancel last minute and then go crazy on you if you try to change training schedule and HARASS you via emails and call you names (read below, I have more in my inbox that I could share). He was sending me emails attacking my job, my dogs, my residence, anything that I shared during training time...all because I wanted to change training time!! Mind you, I gave away $200+ to his business because I felt unsafe training with an abusive person! You have to feel bad for his family. Please stay away, you don't need Crazy ppl like him in your life! Plus with Marital Arts, you're supposed to be able to control your anger and learn to be respectful!! "No wonder why you are not married, oh my gosh. LMFAO" "Hello, I don't know if you know I'm married, have 2 kids, 2 other businesses I own, plus have the studio where I manage 650 active students by myself with zero help. My business is an appointment based business, and some days and weeks I do get booked up fairly quickly. Example: 70% of my students do group classes, and 30% do private, I have many customers that want a 5/6am session, and most my sessions are 45/60 min, a small % are 30min. To be fully transparent next week I have a summer camp I'm doing off site from 9am to 2pm that is why my schedule is out of wack to a certain degree, then the following week it's much better. I literally have a dozen different times on my books to accommodate you three separate days during the week which I feel is flexible, and it's not like you are leaving your home for multiple hours then returning, you live super close, and it's only 30 min which is not a lot of time, you be back home before you know it. Are you concerned or scared to leave your construction workers in the morning for 30 min unattended? I want to be fully transparent, respectful, reasonable, and realistic as well. My schedule back in May, and June, and early part of July I had open 12pm, but unfortunately & currently I don't, as well as 11am & 1pm. Warm Regards, Grandmaster Fanelli"

I've been biting my tongue about this place for a while but recently this school has gotten more…read moreand more downhill. The school is cheaper than many others around and the location is convenient for my family. My son is set on getting his black belt after his years of work but after that we will no longer be attending. My Complaints: 1. Hanshi James Carter is often quite moody. Sometimes he will be a talker, trying to get close to parents and half the time, he will be quick to snap and glare at you. 2. I am all about respect, discipline, and obedience, but there is a line between being strict and being disrespectful. He will yell and belittle students and even parents. 3. He is constantly playing favorites and is extremely open about it, which creates an environment of jealousy among students. 4. Constantly promises prizes, gifts, certificates, trips and etc., but will never follow through. If he says "Do this and you will be rewarded" - you most definitely will not. Left my son disappointed countless times. 5. I've always told my son to never take any of his "leadership roles". Once again, he never pulls through with the promises he makes to his leaders - all of which are other students, not trained professionals. He doesn't take the time to make sure they fully know all the basics and katas or that they are able to lead a group. If the group then performs badly, he belittles the leader! He is just looking for shortcuts in teaching his classes and then lets the children take the fall if they don't look good. 6. Banquets are the worst part of the year. Never on time, cold food, spends more time concerned with special guests, rather than fulfilling the purpose of the banquets - awarding the students and giving them their belts. This year has been the worst by far. There were a few improvements at the beginning despite being late, but it progressively got worse. Hanshi Carter was more focused on introducing his guests with long-winded speeches and presenting them with awards for coming to the banquet. When it came to the students, he rushed through all of them. Instead of having them come up one by one, getting their moment and winning awards like "Kata of the Year" or "Beginner of the Year", he had them stand in a line against a wall and rush to shove participation trophies in everyone's hands. My son was devastated. All his work on trying to be a candidate for a good award only to be brushed off in a quick line. Utter waste of money and will leave the next one as soon as my son gets his black belt. 7. Lastly, most of the "black belts" don't know what they are doing. A toddler could take a few steps in a circle and end up passing a belt exam. If you really want to learn in-depth serious martial arts, this isn't the place. The bare minimum of self defense? This is the place.

He also learned a tremendous amount about karate and spacial awareness. More importantly, though, Hanshi Carter, the Dojo owner, has become a mentor to my son. Hanshi is strict yet deeply empathetic and kind, and he is dedicated to his students and craft. He was even there for my son during some challenging times, helping him feel seen. I'm also really impressed with every event and celebration the studio puts on (and there are many!) - Hanshi is very connected with the Bay Area community and also with the karate community worldwide, and it's a joy to see them all come together and support students of all ages.
