After more than a year and a half, I have been very pleased with development of my grandson. In addition to learning life lessons about discipline, grit and respect, he has an amazing time while in class. The staff are always cordial and responsive to our needs and/or questions. Overall, a worthwhile investment. Thanks Sandoval Karate!...

Do yourself a favor, cross shop other schools in the area before signing here.
At first you will walk in and see words painted on the walls (integrity, respect, discipline). The staff will make you feel this is the place you want to bring your child to encourage them to succeed in the Martial Arts.
After some time you will begin to notice cracks in that facade. The testing requirements at the school are nothing more than a formality. I witnessed many belt tests including those of higher ranks. When a brown belt test is the same 2 minute test at the end of class that you gave your orange belts, there is a problem. The testing fees also escalate with each rank ($100's of dollars for higher ranks). For what? A test should be a full demonstration of all mental, physical, and technical abilities to earn a rank. Sandoval promotes anyone who can do 4 basic self defense in quick repetition, regardless of technique.
The school does not participate in any education beyond basic punch, kick, a couple of self defense, and 1 Form. No weapons training, no tournament participation, no advanced techniques.
When I approached staff about these concerns I was dismissed, including from Allen Sandoval. I would get 1 sentence response to email "we dont do that". He is absent most of the time from his own school.
Other schools in town are cheaper, offer a more complete Martial Arts experience, and actually hold these kids accountable to earn a rank.
When you go to try and cancel your membership you will realize that within the fog of the initial impressions you failed to catch that the contract you signed is for 6 month commitment with an auto renew for additional 6 month commitments in perpetuity. And there are no exceptions. I asked the staff to have Allen Sandoval call me to discuss this, and was told "I will ask, but I doubt he will".
The facade is real. Allen Sandoval has built a business on trapping clients into staying. You would think a man that preaches integrity would want to build a business on loyalty. This is the final crack.
Do yourself a favor, look at other schools before falling for this sham.

Mr. Sandoval & the other instructors make the effort to get to know each kid and their families, to create a welcoming and encouraging environment for the students to build confidence and develop persistence when things get difficult. The instructors lead the kids, teaching with patience and kindness- you can tell they all want to be there to teach. We recently moved and the biggest thing our daughter misses are her weekly classes here- although she now tells us that someday she wants to own her own studio! Thank you for investing in the kids so much! It really does make a difference.

Out of around 6 months my daughter has been to 2 lessons, and they do not care. I asked to cancel, but they want the contract to run its course.
I was also told that my make up classes are forever, but now I’m told make up classes are only when you’re enrolled.
It was a mistake to sign up for six months because you never know what’s going to happen.

We went to cancel and because we didn’t give them 30 days notice because of course that’s how they get you….we’re now having to pay the 6 months anyways. Was hoping they’d work with us. Maybe charge us a month or 2 and then stop because we cancelled. We were told… “we will ask, but I doubt he will.” So now every 2 weeks we’re being charged $180. And I know families can understand how hard that is to have money they may need for bills or food. They have plenty of people attending to keep that place running. So For that I have removed some stars. The staff is amazing with kids but this part has been upsetting for us.

It was insanely expensive for a CHILDRENS karate class ($270 or something, as a young single mom) so I was like yeeeeeah, no thank you. But, they kept calling and eventually I blocked the calls or put them on the “silent” list.
Something must have changed, a phone number or my settings when I switched phones because they’re right back to calling me with promotions even though I told them forever ago that I wasn’t interested and it was out of budget.
I’ve moved out of the valley and my now 8 year old attends Ju Jitsu taught by an amazing veteran martial artist - twice a week, $50 a month. My best advice is to skip the bloated, pushy dojos and look for small, hole-in-the-wall, intimate classes taught by a guy who scares you… just a little bit. (I’d pick our gym over the Gracie’s any day lol )

They also rarely have employees at the front office and it is run by the older kids that attend the karate program. This makes it hard to get any questions answered. The karate instructor is great, but usually he lets the older kids teach the class. On top of that, they make it purposely difficult to cancel the contract and make it so you get locked in to a automatically renewing contract. Please be sure about this place before signing up because they will extend the contract as long as they can without caring about you wanting to cancel and send you to collections if you stop paying.

We are now back and I am taking the adults class with my son and we love it. Great workout and excellent teaching. Allen Sandoval and his team make sure everyone is learning the proper technique and skills. Definitely recommend.

My daughter just started doing karate here and absolutely loves it! After the first day she asked to be signed up! It’s awesome they have a free first month to make sure the kiddos like before you commit. The teachers are great and really make sure all the kids are really learning the moves as well.

*** few months into the classes watch out they want money for EVERYTHING! I paid 900 bucks for 6 months thinking all was covered I was WRONG! Good teachers but just want money it seems like every other place.

All three of our kiddos have been going to SFK since March of 2021. They were 3, 6, and 11 when they joined. I love the multiple class options, and the ability to make up missed classes if we miss a class due to vacation/illness.
There is a great sitting/viewing area for parents/family. So you have a a front row seat to watch your child’s progress.

The staff (mainly Kaylee), Mr. Sandoval and all of the other instructors are extremely knowledgeable and patient. Especially for the younger ones. There are always a minimum of 3-5 instructors per class so they can keep an eye out to correct form/behaviors. They are very in touch with the parents, and parents play a key role in determining whether or not your child is ready for their next belt test. They want to ensure that the discipline is crossing over into their personal/home/school lives as well. It is a great way to encourage good behaviors. Our kids have grown and learned so much. My oldest LOVES it and is now determined to get his black belt.

We are happy we found such a great school so close to home. We love that there is also a viewing area for all parents/family members to sit and watch the classes. Kaylee has also been super helpful and knowledgeable when assisting my wife with make up classes when we were too sick to come. Highly recommend checking it out.

We received a one month free trial for our boys, and they loved their first class so much we signed them up.
Their uniforms were included in the registration, which many other schools charge separately. There’s a great seating/viewing area for onlookers to watch classes.
The instructors are very hands on, and are there to help them with their form. We are excited to see how our boys flourish....

It is a great place if you are looking for an activity to help your child gain confidence and discipline. It is a little pricey as all kids activities are. You also have to sign a contract to get in the door, it is not a month to month, leave when you want to leave type of activity. Anytime your child moves up, there are extra charges for accessories and clothing that are a little overpriced...

The business practice itself is a bit predatory...a $1,000, 6-month contract for a kid’s recreational activity...and they don’t give you any time to process it - it’s right then and there. But, if that doesn’t scare you, the instructors are great and the 30-minute classes 2x per week are convenient. Just pray you don’t move or lose your job or come upon any circumstances that makes something as nonessential as karate now a financial burden, because they don’t have any wiggle room in that contract. Good luck!
