I just wanted to say that I’m impressed at how much our 8 year old son has learned in the few months he’s been coming to North Valley Martial Arts. He was showing me his repertoire the other day and I had no idea how well he knows the stuff. He really loves karate now, when before it was a fight to get him to go. Now he looks forward to it. James and his staff have really done wonders for his attitude, athletic abilities and slowly helping with his respect to his elders. I can’t wait to see how much more he’s going to grow with his new found love of karate!

Love this place! Since my son has attended here it has helped boost his self esteem, self control, and body strength. Senseis are amazing! They really have a way making connections with kids! Highly recommend

Great atmosphere and really great instructor... James is very encouraging and patient with my granddaughter.. She looks forward to class!...I like that he teaches respect and discipline along with Kempo.. Thank you!

My son has been attending class here since January and loves it! The Sensei is very professional and great with kids.

Great for my active 4 year old! I like that Sensei James teaches discipline and respect but also incorporates fun.

This is the best place for kids karate classes in Scottsdale! My son has been coming here for almost a year and we absolutely love it. James is an amazing instructor and my son has improved so much! I highly recommend!

My son would attend class 7 days a week, if possible!! Sensei James provides the right training, along with life lessons. Very happy with North Valley Martial Arts!!

James is the best martial arts teacher I highly recommend him for adult classes and kid classes from 4 and older hes the best 🙏♥️

North valley Martial arts has been a great experience. I have been training for 3 years now and I am impressed with how knowledgeable, experienced and patient the staff is. James passion for the Arts has me looking forward to each class and what I will learn. I am very happy with the results I am seeing with my skills as well as my fitness.

North valley martial arts is one of the best in the area. James is excellent and has done a great job at teaching my son, I highly recommend North valley martial arts

Have had bad experiences with other schools....this one is the best! Experienced and patient staff with very convenient schedules....highly recommend!

North Valley Martial Arts has truly been a great experience for my son. He is going on 5 yrs at the dojo, and his confidence and leadership development continue to rise, along with his accomplishments in Kempo.

We have been very happy with NVMA. Our kids have learned a lot and we like how calm yet disciplined Sensei James makes it for the kids. They get to do some fun kid games at times and I like how he pushes and encourages character growth in a controlled environment.

I have been taking advantage of the adult fitness class, which includes a self-defense component, for about 3 years. I love that the workouts are created to meet any fitness level and help each person to attain his/her personal goals in an energetic, judgement-free environment. Starting something new is never easy, though it didnt take long for me start seeing and feeling the benefits of my effort - Im very happy I made the commitment to myself with this Dojo and highly recommend checking it out!
