We recently signed up our 5 and 7 year old and they LOVE it! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The schedule is flexible and the instructor works so well with the kids. They are picking up the skills very quickly. We are sooo happy we made the decision to join!

HORRIBLE SCAM! My daughter finished her 6 month contract and a week later they called asking about her absense. I told them she had finished her contract and we were no longer going there only to find out they AUTOMATICALLY RENEW YOUR CONTRACT FOR ANOTHER SIX MONTHS WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION AND WITHOUT NOTIFYING YOU!!! This place wasn't even worth the money! My daughter learned NOTHING!

We took our 3 yr old grandson for a free lesson and he seemed to like it. So we enrolled him. He gets very excited to go now. The instructors are very patient and professional. Were happy he is learning to be disciplined and learning to stay focused. We made an excellent decision.

My 8 year old and 11 year old are new to this location but they have experienced a great transition into the class. The instructors and office staff make sure to be inclusive and show great attention to meeting both the kids and parents needs. We love the discipline of this studio and look forward to growing within it.

Unfortunately, the end of my experience with Sandoval was not pleasant at all. After a year with them, my daughter decided she wanted to pursue other sports. I was waiting for the notice they send every 6 months to automatically renew or cancel your membership. When i finally received the letter it was postmarked 6/20. The notice was due by 6/12 and said if I didn't notify them by then it would automatically renew her for another 6 months. I called and expressed that the letter was sent 8 days after the notice was due. They informed me it was just a courtesy to send those letters and that all the other parents know when it's time to renew their kids. I did not want to burn this bridge as children's interests change as they grow. She came back and informed me there was nothing they could do about cancelling the membership and that I would still have to pay the $150 a month for the classes whether she attended or not. Within 12 days I received a call from a collections agency saying they were taking me to court for breach of contract if I didn't pay the balance. It is now ALREADY listed on my credit as a delinquency. I am a single mom and pay for all her activities on my own and this one really hurt me and my credit. Be careful with this place as they are ruthless in the end.

Front desk is kinda rude. teacher are not to bad. But no t impressed with buying a black belt thought you earned one by putting in the time and effort. More of a black belt factory than a dojo. If you have the $ you will get your black belt for sure! Doesn't mean you will fight like one though.

Both of my boys are in the class and very happy. They are not only learning karate, but learn how to be a good boy at home and responsible student at school. The staff at chandler location is extremely friendly and very helpful. Recommend.

My child has been coming to Sandoval karate for the past 3 years. Initially she was not too excited about the sparring. The instructors took her feedback seriously and helped her ease into it gradually. The instructors are firm, friendly and professional.

As a single parent, I desire to provide my son the best tools to be successful. With Sandoval Karate, they have helped my son focus, to stay determined, and to be disciplined. From the age of four, I have seen him grow into a young leader and build strong relationships with his peers. Now his seven years old, and I could not be any more happier with his growth.
One of many reasons why I continue to keep him here, is because of the male role models; not only do they provide the knowledge of Karate, but they have so much compassionate for these kids. Jennifer, the Front Desk Manager, has seen me go through so much and she has bent over backward to help us time and time again. I consider them as a part of our family.
Thank you Sandoval!

Sandoval Karate has been in business for over 20 years and I have had the pleasure of working at our Chandler location for the past 6. We have worked with thousands of clients teaching our students personal and physical development. Our teachers are patient and have experience in working with kids and adults. Everyone gets a free class to try so come down and check it out for yourself!

I have been a student of Sandoval Karate for almost 3 years now. The classes are a lot of fun with friendly instructors who make every effort in class to correct your form or answer your questions. . There is an emphasis on learning the right way and lots of practice. you don't advance to the next level until you have your skills mastered .

My 9 year old son has been coming here for quite a while now and he really enjoys it. We enrolled him because we wanted him to learn discipline, focus, and goal setting, and the program at Sandoval has really helped him improve in those areas. Plus, he has become very fit physically - he is strong, flexible, lean, balanced, and coordinated. The classes are a good balance between hard work and fun.

My son has been going to Sandoval Karate since December 2013 and I would not hesitate to say he has learnt a great deal of Karate and self defense since then. He is very close to get his black belt and very focused and energetic in his daily routine. Coaches are extremely knowledgeable and my son gets along very well with them. I highly recommend Sandoval Karate if you are looking for your child or yourself to learn the lifetime skills. Thank you Sandoval Karate coaches and management team.

My son is extremely shy, so when we first started, he had a hard time, but the instructors were amazing with him. They worked with him and were so patient and encouraging. My son has flourished over the last year because of them and is now white-purple belt.The front office staff is always welcoming and helpful with whatever you need.

I just have to write a review because I can't believe there are negative reviews on Sandoval Karate. I will say that SFK has done worlds of good for my child and our family. The staff is, in fact, VERY kind. I have not had a problem with one of them the whole 2 years we have been coming here. The instructors are amazing and Miss Jen is such a sweetheart. She is always greeting the parents and the children whenever she is walking by, takes time out of her duties to chit chat with us, and is just very helpful and kind. It is a little crowded for certain classes but that's not the issue with the school. The size of their suite they rent is not a reflection of their talent and ability to teach. 5 stars for sure. Never a doubt.

Instructors are nice and patient with the kids. I moved away from Arizona a couple years then came back. My kid was excited to return to the program. Good way to get the kids off the technology sometimes and into fitness!

My daughter has been a student here for two years and we absolutely love this place. The quality of the instructors is great and the program has helped her build confidence and discipline. I would recommend this school to anyone and my younger daughter will be joining her big sister here soon.

Awesome place. My son has been going here for two years. The staff from the front office to to the teachers are awesome and really care about the kids. They work with the kids to help them succeed and make sure they understand what they learn. Not overpriced - great price for what they offer.

Sandoval Freestyle Karate(SFK) is awesome! The owners/instructors are enthusiastic and work very well with the kids. My son has thrived so much since starting the Little Dragons Class (3 - 5 year old). He started SFK at age 3 and will be turning 5 this coming year. He's become more focused, follows directions better and his confidence has gone through the roof. The Instructors (Paul, Jerry, Bill, Allen, & Kristi) are very focused on the kids. They know all of their names from day one. It is AMAZING how much our son has changed is such a short time. They are working on ''life skills'' not just martial arts. Each class has a different focus ( there are things like memory, coordination, self control, discipline, focus, etc.). They have a thought through system that really motivates the kids. I highly recommend Sandoval Freestyle Karate.
