Peaceful Warrior Martial Arts is the valley’s premiere martial arts training facility.
Our karate school is based in the Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, Arizona area. Students enjoy a wide range of youth, teen and adult classes in various martial arts forms. From traditional to contemporary styles, we have a martial arts program that’s right for everyone!
Our base is traditional Shorin-Ryu Karate, one of the oldest systems from Okinawa, Japan. Students learn long-established kata, self-defense techniques and karate fundamentals in this deep-rooted practice. Another classical art Peaceful Warrior specializes in is Japanese Jujitsu, utilizing grappling techniques, locks, holds and ground escapes. We also teach the customary Kobudo, or Okinawan weapons, tradition. This system is rich in history, and stems from ancient Okinawan warriors.
For the more modern martial artist, we offer an array of contemporary classes including Street Self Defense and a unique Women’s Self-Defense Program.
No need for the added cost of a gym membership! Our distinct center offers a gym, personal training and a variety of Fitness Classes including Yoga, Zumba, Bootcamp and Kick Boxing. Fitness enthusiasts, from novice to pro, can work out while your child or spouse trains martial arts, or supplement your own karate program with flexibility and strength training exercises to maintain tip-top shape.
It’s never too early to start karate! We boast a Little Warriors Program for children ages 3-6 so your little one can begin to learn the basics of karate, motor control, balance, listening skills and confidence.
