Zahand's Martial Arts

I cannot say enough about how amazing this dojo, their programs, and the entire staff are and how much I recommend them! In a few short months, my son had grown in so many ways, gaining confidence and self-esteem. It is a pleasure to watch all of the children learning and growing, and being instructed in a way that lifts them up and encourages them to do their best. This program benefits everyone involved in so many ways, and we look forward to coming to class every week! The staff does an incredible job at making everyone feel welcome and included, and we are so grateful to be a part of our karate family. Highly recommend!!! Osu!

We love Zahand’s Martial Arts! They are so welcoming and kind to every person who walks through the door. My son truly loves going to his classes each week and has learned so much. The staff and instructors are so incredible with every student. My son has some neurodivergence, and not once has he been made to feel ashamed or like he isn’t good enough to be there. If our schedule allowed, my son would go to class every day if he could. I looked at other martial arts studios in the area, but what sold me on Zahand’s is that is truly a small business and run by a family. I was not interested in attending a franchise studio. We definitely made the right decision by attending Zahand’s. Every single instructor is such a great role model for my son and I never feel uncomfortable leaving him in their care. Thank you, Zahand’s! We love you! Osu!

I've been going to Zahands Martial arts for 5 awesome years. Its been an amazing experience for me. They teach you a lot of discipline. I would highly recommend this Dojo. Best place to go to work with the best of the best. I love going every week to have an amazing time getting taught Judo, Jujitsu, and Karate. The staff always welcomes you with open arms and respect.

Our journey with Zahand’s Martial Arts began three years ago, and it has truly transformed my son’s life in the most incredible ways. My son was born a preemie and has faced developmental delays since birth. He is in occupational, physical, and speech therapy to support his growth. While those services are essential, nothing has impacted him quite like karate at Zahand’s where his challenges can all be worked on outside of the home and school. From the moment he walked through their doors, the instructors welcomed him with open arms — not just as a student, but as family. They love my son deeply, and it’s clear they extend that same love and care to every child, teenager, and adult who trains there. It’s a rare and beautiful environment built on respect, encouragement, and genuine connection. Through karate, my son has developed mental toughness, improved his focus and recall, and grown stronger physically. Most importantly, his confidence has skyrocketed. He carries himself differently now — with pride, purpose, and calm rooted in the mindfulness and discipline they've taught him through martial arts and meditation. We originally chose Zahand’s because it was conveniently local — but after seeing what it’s done for our son, I can say without hesitation that I would drive over an hour every single day just to keep him here. That’s how much we value this place and the amazing people who run it. Zahand’s is more than just a dojo. It’s a community that lifts its students up and gives them the tools to thrive — not just in martial arts, but in life. Karate here is a foundation for character, confidence, and lifelong success. We are beyond grateful to be part of the Zahand’s family. If you're considering martial arts for your child or yourself, this is the place!

Kids have been members at Zahand’s martial arts for 8 months now and it’s great! Truly a community feel, with great programs to make it educational and engaging at any level. Look forward to seeing how my boys progress! Thank you Zahand’s!

I decided on Zahand's for our 4 year old after reading all of the positive reviews. They honestly don't do this place justice. I was so impressed by how welcoming this family is and how great they are with the kids. It was the perfect amount of structure and fun for kids his age. Very excited to have found such a great place for our son to get some of his energy out and learn from these great people.

Our experience at Zahand's has been fantastic. Our child is growing and learning so much and enjoying the process. The Zahand family is welcoming and has made us feel like part of the community from the very beginning. Our elementary-aged child enjoys the lessons and is proud to see his progress. The lesson times are convenient and allow for flexibility around our schedule.

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.

My kids recently started attending this dojo, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience so far. The program, creed, and discipline they've introduced have had a tremendous impact on my children. I've already seen positive changes in their focus, confidence, and respect — both at home and in school. The instructors are passionate, patient, and truly dedicated to the growth of each student. What means the most to us is how welcomed we’ve felt from day one — we truly feel like part of their family, just as they’ve become part of ours. We’re so grateful to have found this place! Osu!

Zahand'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.
