My son loves it!
AB Karate is your best choice for learning the craft by the most talented and fiercely gifted instructor Christian Arias. His team brings out the dynamic passion in all students! Way to go ABK!
My kids all went to AB Karate and turned out to be good men
I've been going to this academy for about 11 years now and it's been nothing less than a positive experience! It's a wonderful environment for young kids to exercise and make new friends. The instructors are always very friendly and I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn martial arts in a welcoming environment!
Our grandaughter (Rhyan Rhodriquez) loves ABK! Great professional staff members! Truly recommend ABK to everyone of all ages!
They make it fun for the kids and have great staff! 🙂
My daughter and son have been attending ABK for the past few months . I’m pleasantly surprised how much it has benefited them so far. This place teaches kids discipline, inclusiveness, focus and many more essential life skills. The instructors are all professional, compassionate and energetic..
ABK is a great place. They teach character development, like self-esteem, patience and respect. Something I find truly amazing is they incorporate the students from higher levels to help and guide the lower levels. It's a great thing for everyone involved. Not only that, they make it fun! My son didn't really enjoy the other sports he tried but he loves karate!

My son has demonstrated a positive change on self-discipline and self control since last December when he joined ABK.

ABK is more than Karate for our family, it has made its way into our everyday life, how we parents, and how our child behaves. Our 4- year- old daughter is coming up on her 1 year anniversary of attending classes at ABK. She looks forward to learning more, and she is always excited to attend. They give more than karate classes, they give kids an opportunity to learn life skills, reinforce positive parenting skills, and teach communication to the children. As well as teach positive self Esteem. My child has become more confident, more self assured and has grown so much in this year she has been attending. We love our ABK family! Their methods and teachers are amazing! Less
Joining the ABK family has been one of the best decisions we've made in our kids life's. ABK has been a life changing experience not only for the kids but for us as well. It's a fun and engaging commitment that has helped us grow together as a family.
A tremendous opportunity for your child to learn life lessons, respect, and discipline while honing self-defense skills! As a bonus, they nurture kids’ values via daily Q&A segments. They make it fun and relevant for the children, too. Highly recommend!
Excellent staff, our children really enjoy learning and growing here. Highly recommend
My wife and I enrolled my son into the ABK program, almost two years ago. FYI: he is an extremely hyper child who would often not be able to focus on any particular thing for more than a few seconds, so much so that it was very hard for him to sit still and to listen to his teachers at school. So when we signed him up, one of the first things we were asked was: what were some goals that we were ... More
My wife and I enrolled my son into the ABK program, almost two years ago. FYI: he is an extremely hyper child who would often not be able to focus on any particular thing for more than a few seconds, so much so that it was very hard for him to sit still and to listen to his teachers at school. So when we signed him up, one of the first things we were asked was: what were some goals that we were hoping for him to develop. We wanted him to learn some discipline, respect for others, and how to be a good leader. My wife and I, noticed a difference after about two maybe three weeks. He was showing proper courtesy and respect to not just us and his teachers, but to other people children and adults. His focus and self-discipline in school increased so much, that his teachers asked us in a parent-teacher conference what we were doing at home to instill these things in our son. After after his first semester since joining the ABK family, his grades went from a B average to an A+ average. His teachers stated in his report card that he became a leader in his study groups at his school. This has not changed since. Looking back these last two years, I have to say that there was no way that I could have predicted this positive impact that the ABK program has had with my son. I do have to credit the martial arts training program, the patience from his karate instructors, as well as the leadership curriculum that is taught in every single class. The program in of itself is easy for the kids to pick up quickly, but the lessons that he learned is something that he's going to carry with him far into adulthood. If I have to rate it honestly I would say overall it's definitely 5 out of 5 stars. The staff is extremely friendly, patient, and supportive so I would rate them, 5 out of 5 stars. Last note: The overall community among the karate parents is very supportive of both the children, as well as fellow parents. I have not participated in the adult classes, but I know from other people who have taken these classes that it is a very solid program and worth looking into. Less
Kind, supportive instructors who have given my son opportunities to better himself physically and mentally while having a great time. Highly recommend Christian Arias and his team.
Life lessons that build character. One of the best dojo’s in El Paso. Professional staff, lessons are developmentally appropriate and fun for all ages!
Great place to take your kids for karate! Awesome environment. I strongly recommend them. My kids love it!
It’s hard to imagine any other martial arts school (or any other class/program in general) doing as much for kids and their families as ABK. They care so much, are so great with kids of all abilities and ages, and the kids get both physical workouts and character building lessons out of every class all while having a blast.

ABK goes above and beyond with weekly emails and videos telling us (parents) how we can help make the most of the lessons and they share valuable information, all with the goal of together, raising thoughtful, strong, and BEST versions of our already wonderful kiddos.

Our son has been attending ABK for the past few years and I can not say enough nice things about this establishment. Starting with the owner, Mr. Arias, to each of the instructors, they are the most energetic, positive, and exemplary role models for the students. The weekly teachings go beyond karate and target important life lessons. They teach the kids to be respectful and help apply the lessons to their every day experiences. The weekly email updates for the parents help us see what is going to be taught for each week and so we can also stress those same lessons at home. The facility itself was kept clean and sanitized even before Covid, and they have maintained those high standards through Covid now that the kids are back in person. Less
ABK is a wonderful place for children to increase their confidence while getting physical activity and learning the importance of self-disciple and respect. The staff are kind, caring, and encouraging. Highly recommend!
My son has been here for 3 years and he absolutely loves it! I noticed a huge improvement in his confidence and concentration within the first year. My younger son started as soon as he was old enough and they both look forward to going to class every week!
ABK is a great program all around! My 9 and 11 year old absolutely love this program. Not only do they get to have physical exercise but they discuss topics on being positive and improving character during class. The instructors are so friendly and fun yet keep the class structured. Highly, highly recommend this program!
ABK has done so much for my family. We truly do love ABK!! My child started at the age of 5 and has loved every single moment since. He is now 12 and two belts away from reaching his black belt. ABK has shown my child to have a Yes I Can Attitude in life and when challenges have arisen he had that motivation to succeed. Thank you ABK for all that you do!!
Best place for kids, my two kids are currently attending, and I think we have been going there for closer to 10 years now. Great place, staff is exceptional and the skills that my kids have received is invaluable
Our family really likes ABK. The staff is so pleasant and patient with the kids. We highly recommend America’s Best Karate!
I've been with this ABK Martial Arts since I was a child and still continue to be with this studio well into my adulthood. I've learned and grown so much over the years with ABK and do not regret a second of it.

I've been with this ABK Martial Arts since I was a child and still continue to be with this studio well into my adulthood. I've learned and grown so much over the years with ABK and do not regret a second of it. As a child I wasn't just taught to kick and punch, but also core values such as compassion, humility, and respect that still influence my actions today. I've seen countless children go into this academy lacking self-esteem and end up rising as students with the integrity to do what is right and the confidence to follow through. I cannot recommend this place enough and it holds a special place in my heart. I know when I have children I am definitely going to enroll them here at ABK. Thank you for all you have done for me and all you continue to teach me. The staff is wonderful! Less
Great place to get your child involved, learn discipline, and get in shape
It’s not just about learning self defense, but also about the respect whether for yourself or others, the discipline, and the overall good mentality. AMAZING PLACE!
My son loves karate here. I love they teach them respect and give positive vibes to the kids. They are great with my son! My son has learned a lot in a little time training here. We love it!! I recommend ABK karate to anyone looking for a place for their kids to take karate!
Great instructors. I've trained there for years starting when I was very young. I've had nothing but positive experiences with the staff. They truly have changed my life.
My kids love this place!!
We’ve been so happy ever since Iker entered ABK. He’s changed so much and he’s been way more motivated. He’s been showing all his moves to his siblings. I want to thank ABK for how professional and motivating it is for young kids. Thank you for being awesome!
We love ABK! Our 4 year old was needing something fun to participate in. We were looking for something he was interested in and would give him exercise as well as make him think critically.

I was looking for my son to experience a new way to challenge himself and we found it! abk has been a wonderful experience from day 1 till now he looks forward to every session only complaint from him is why it can't be longer training sessions or everyday Lol. Thank u ABK for all your hard work and dedication to our youth in our community
My kids have been coming for a couple of years and they loves it. Going has helped them with discipline as well as making long lasting friendships. The instructors here always go above and beyond for every student and I am very grateful I was able to find the this school. They treat you more like family and many students and parent feel the same way.
America's Best Karate does a phenomenal job with their students. Not only do they teach them Karate, they also help reinforce self worth, hard work and the responsible use of the karate skills they learn. I highly recommend America's Best Karate.
ABK has been great. My son was interested in Karate and this has been a great experience for him. The program and instructors are all about teaching not only martial arts but also how to be your best self in society.
My daughter has been practicing here for about a year and a half, taking karate classes and from the beginning all the staff have helped her and are very kind. there is always a very nice atmosphere and the facilities are excellent and clean! ABK staff helps all children to have both physical and personal abilities and respect for others.
All the instructors are excellent as they are always with a positive attitude, always willing to help, and always showing professionalism.
ABK is the best place for any child to learn the same values, respect, and a positive attitude I teach at home. We are thankful to all then instructors at ABK. I definitely recommend anyone to take their child to ABK. It's a safe and educational place. We are very pleased and proud to take our daughter to ABK! Thank you ABK!!!!
We have attended this academy for about 2 years now. Everyone at the academy is very welcoming and very professional. My son has fun as well as getting in exercise and learning life lessons and discipline. Definitely would recommend to all friends and family.
I love this place for my kids on Resler. The teachers instill respect, leadership, kindness, and karate of course! It’s worth every penny! They are Greta in communication and very clean. Every-time our kids are done they are spraying down everything!
Excellent
Very awesome place!
I want my boy to kick but! But es little and just learning to wipe his but. Butt them bullies at school will learn once he gets the best training in town. That was our initial intention. He learned more from karate. Friendly kind discipline. Great place to take the whole family. DO IT!
Our daughter loves attending ABK! She has become more focused and starting at only 3 they have spend quality time with her investing in her coordination and her skills. So happy with them! They are the very best!
Trained with you have as a teenager 20 years ago. While I have never needed the actual martial arts side thankfully, the lessons I learned and endurance, sticking to things, and finishing what I start have stayed with me my whole life. Thank you for the life lessons!
2005-2011..double reds 2nd degree black belt.highly recommend.
We love AB Karate! Christian has been attending since he was 7 yrs old and the training has been amazing. The staff is great and always greet you with a smile. My son is on his way to red/black and we are beyond excited to continue the training! I love the discipline and how they work with each and every child as they need it.
My son enjoys his class. He has developed different skills! He is more disciplined, focused, and energetic! The instructors are very helpful, patient, and understanding. And all the staff is courteous and friendly. Great role models.
My son has developed leadership skills! His school grades have improve and he has a better attitude. The coaches have a great attitude and encourage each student to give their best! They make sure that each student learns the skills. My son has been coming for a year and has learned a lot and grown a lot in his karate skills!
Everyone there is great and so nice and helpful! My son has learned a lot and he is now more disciplined. He has learned things that he will never learn anywhere else. I also love the activities they organize like the kickathon to raise money for St. Jude. America's Best Karate is not only concerned about students and parents but also about the community.
We love AB Karate on Resler...my son is very happy....Mr. Arias is the best!!!!! Staff very friendly.

We highly recommend AB Karate to every family! My daughter started at AB Karate about a year and a half ago and we have seen a tremendous improvement in her both in school and sports. She was always in the AB Honor roll but has started getting straight A's since enrolling . Due to her improvement, we decided to enroll our 4 year old son. Our son has become more disciplined, confident, and polite. Every time he talks to any adult, he answers by yes sir no sir. So, my wife and I decided to join them also in the quest to become black belts. As a family, we have become stronger both mentally and physically. The instructors and staff are very helpful and polite. The instructors are very knowledgeable in martial arts. They also have a lot of patience in teaching. We highly encourage every family to take this challenge. Less
