My 8 year old son loves his class! We had to do something different and find an activity he would enjoy his instructors are phenomenal and he looks forward to attending and is so proud when he earns a stripe on his belt, I checked other places and Derderianis the most affordable for us. Looking forward to our son's next belt!

I love seeing how he makes sure all the kids participate equally and keeps them engaged throughout class. The space is clean, open, and has such a positive environment. We’ve had a great experience so far!

We love the family atmosphere and the dedicated staff at Derderian Martial Arts. The Sensais as well as instructors are thoughtful and professional! It is easy to see why parents who were/are students of Derderian, would bring their kids there!

I have known Sufi Derderian for years and am a martial arts instructor in another style. I chose to become one of his students a while back. If you are looking for serious training check them out. All of his instructors are very skilled. Definitely a class act. I highly recommend them.

I've been going there for about 7 months or so. All the Instructors are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. My fellow classmates are as well. I can't recommend this place more. Awesome people, fun and engaging lessons. Come on down if you're curious! It's definitely worth it.
