We are so happy we found Scottsdale Martial Arts Center. Sensei Christian has been wonderful and we appreciate his talents when it comes to instructing children. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend SMAC to anyone looking for a quality karate program. It is conveniently located and the facility is very clean and inviting. The entire team is friendly and we are getting a lot of value out of the monthly dues, which are very reasonable!

Christian is a stellar instructor. I drive from McCormick ranch because the quality of the instruction is worth it. He is animated, professional and very patient with his students, including my 17 year old daughter with Down Syndrome. Thank you, Christian!

We have had the best experience at Scottsdale Martial Arts Center. Sensei Ray (the owner of the center) cares deeply about the children and has the goal of combining a love for martial arts with individual mental and social growth. It is not only about winning but about achieving the best you can be. Oure son, who is a bit more shy than the average kid, has really begun to come out of his shell. Between Sensei Ray, Christian, and Greg, he feels safe and supported and pushed to achieve. We have seem him grow and develop in ways that we never thought possible. SMAC makes training fun and our kids actually ASK to go to karate practice and complain when we have to skip. Total parental jackpot!!! Thank you SMAC for changing our lives and for infusing confidence and fun into our children's lives!

My son started classes at SMAC a few months ago. I am so grateful for the impact it has had on increasing my son’s self-confidence. He has so much respect for Sensi Ray and Sensi Christian. They are wonderful mentors and engage the kids so effectively. I highly recommend this studio.

This vendor is charging accounts fraudulently despite numerous communications that they are no longer providing a service for several months. After placing a stop payment on the card and disputes through the bank, they charged an even larger amount to ensure the money went through. I have no had to cancel my credit card and obtain a new one all because of this one vendor.
