Sandoval Karate - Gilbert

My son and I were students at Sandoval Karate for 4½ years, and our experience was one of growth and enrichment through hard work and perseverance. My son was nine years old and I was 44 when we started. We both learned the fundamentals of martial arts under the expert instruction of Mr. Sandoval, Mr. Garrett, and the other sensei at the school. Over time, my son and I both advanced to the rank of brown belt and learned more advanced techniques.I can confidently say that my son, now 14, can defend himself effectively against most people. The experience significantly increased his confidence—possibly even to the point of being a little overconfident; he is a teenage boy after all.Although we eventually chose to move to a different school and pursue a different martial art, we both came away from our training at Sandoval Karate in better shape, more capable, more flexible, and more confident in our ability to defend ourselves.I highly recommend Sandoval Karate to anyone looking to begin or continue their own martial arts journey.
