Truly impressed by the professional and quality care and training that both my son and I have received from Zahands Martial Arts. What started as just a fun paper my kid brought home from school from a Bully Buster Program has now turned into a hobby and discipline we both love. From the moment you walk in you are treated like family, and the entire community is welcoming and supportive. ALL the teachers and Sempais are intentional in helping you to truly understand martial arts and also have some good fun/workouts while you do it. The byproducts? My family is closer than ever and we enjoy learning together through Martial Arts; we’ve gained practical skills we can use in self defense situations; we have a community of friends we now consider family; our confidence and health has drastically improved; and we are growing every day. If you have been considering this as an extracurricular for your kids, this is by far the best character building space for them. Doshi Matt takes time to get to know each kid individually and learn what would support their growth best both inside and outside the dojo and is a master at his craft as well. Other schools can teach the skill, but Zahands truly is focused on the hearts of the children and students as well, and you won’t find that anywhere else.
Posted 1 year agoWe started at Zahand Martial Arts a few months ago and we are absolutely thrilled about our daughter and how much she has improved during this time. The teachers go above and beyond and they know what your kids need. The bully buster program is definitely a recommendation if you’re looking for something that your child needs!
Posted 1 year agoWe absolutely love Zahand's Martial Arts! My 8-year-old son has been attending for a little over a year, and the sense of community here is amazing — everyone is so supportive and encouraging, from the instructors to the other students and their families. The transparency in communication is another huge plus. Whether it's about class schedules, belt testing, or expectations for students, Zahand’s makes everything clear and straightforward. My son has not only grown in skill but also in confidence and discipline (like starting each class with meditation). We're so grateful to be part of this martial arts community! Highly recommend Zahand's to anyone looking for a welcoming and professional martial arts studio!

Posted 1 year agoZahand's is amazing! My son absolutely loves going to class twice a week. There are many instructors to give the students 1 on 1 attention. It is family owned and family oriented and they truly care about their students and also their families! We are 100% pleased! They have outside activities for families as well and the ceremonies are well organized and entertaining. Class act all the way! The facilities are clean and comfortable. They even have a viewing room so you can watch your child improve with every lesson.
