Sifu Dennis is a wonderful martial arts instructor. He really cares about all of his students. Once I walked in the door I was treated like family. I also love Jesus and his school is also about Our relationship with Jesus Christ. We pray at the beginning and at the end of class. Kajukenbo is an awesome martial art and the self defense techniques and the palama sets are fun and very effective for a real life self defense situation. Karate for christ of Arizona is like my second family. The other students are awesome to. Everyone is so nice and friendly. I highly recommend Karate for Christ of Arizona to anyone looking for a martial arts school. Thank you Sifu Dennis and Karate for Christ of Arizona! God bless 🙏

My son’s experience at this Kajukenbo school has been truly incredible. Sifu Dennis is not just an excellent instructor but also a strong Christian mentor who leads with integrity, faith, and compassion. He seamlessly integrates important Christian values, such as discipline, humility, respect, and perseverance, into his teaching. Under his guidance, my son has not only developed his self defense skills but also grown in his faith and character. Sifu Dennis creates an uplifting and positive environment where kids are encouraged to strive for excellence both on and off the mat. I’m so grateful for the impact Sifu Dennis and his wonderful wife Angela have had in our family’s life. We highly recommend his school to any family looking for self defense training rooted in Christian principles.
