We know that there's more to training than kicking and punching. We help people find their voices and when they find their voice they become more confident and when they become more confident, they can have better control over their life. Not just on the mat but in the real world. A place that leaves the "ego" at the door.
Our program is structured for a complete Mixed Martial Arts experience. Covering all aspects of the martial arts game from the stand up, clinch, takedown to grappling. Our stand up foundation is deeply rooted in traditional Kyokushin Karate, the takedowns in Judo and the ground is Jiu-Jitsu based. Our facility was founded through the inspiration and dream to instruct young and old alike in a positive make it happen environment.
FAST Defense, acronym for Fear Adrenal Stress Training is a simple step-by-step process class that allows students to recondition their normal negative fear/freeze responses into those of amazing strength and power. Since the adrenal rush is a natural instinctual reaction to a stressful situation, the trick is learning to harness and focus all that power into one's self defense.
160,000 children cut school every day in the United States to avoid a bully. This according to the National Education Association. A majority of the school shootings have been linked to cases of excessive bullying, according to the U.S. Secret Service. Studies have shown that adults who were bullied as children have a much higher level of depression and lower self-esteem than those who were not.

I looked at several karate schools and picked The Phoenix Way simply because Sensei Anthony is a great role model for my son. He genuinely cares about the children and emphasizes important values such as confidence, focus and kindness. My son is learning karate and self defense and having a lot of fun in the process. Within minutes of meeting Sensei Anthony I knew I picked the right place for my 8 year old.
It's like being part of a small family that makes sure to cheer each person on as they gain new skills and further develop old ones. *HIGHLY RECOMMENDED* 🥋

Great community of people while learning valuable life skills in self defense and discipline. My twins take the kids classes and after meeting Anthony I decided to take the adult classes. Couldn’t be having a better experience all the way around. I’ve lost weight, and now have something to do physically that I love. My kids love it as well and the discipline has had a positive effect on their behavior at home. Osu!

My ten year old son has been taking classes for a few months. I see the difference already in his dedication to this sport.The teaching is superb and professional. The curriculum is well scaffolded for all levels. The facility is kept immaculately clean. Most importantly the teachers maintain a positive attitude and make the students want to keep working hard. It’s very structured and organized. With so many martial arts schools out there it’s difficult to pick the right one. I would recommend Pheonix Way to anyone who’s looking for a positive experience.

My son begged us to start karate classes for almost a year before we signed him up. Since his first class at The Phoenix Way, he has gained so much strength, coordination, dedication, discipline, and confidence in his abilities. The school is professional with a family feel. His instructors provide the skill, enthusiasm, and the motivation he needs to strive to be his best self. Shihan Anthony's passion for the art radiates to his students and encourages them to do their best and be their best.

My son has been going to Pheonix Way for over 3 years. He really looks forward to going and has learned so much. This is a great class for any child. Not only does he learn amazing physical skills , but Shihan teaches so much more than that. He teaches amazing like skills in a way that the children understand. His classes are very structured and fun for the children. My son truly sees his development as a journey.
It is a very professional setting with great communication. I would recommend it to anyone.

I started training at the Phoenix Way a couple of months ago, and it’s one of the best choices I’ve made. In the short time I’ve trained here I’ve learned how to defend myself, have gotten in better shape, and have become more confident. Additionally, from day one the Phoenix community was very welcoming, and I quickly made some life long friends. The instructors and fellow students are dedicated to seeing you grow and are often willing to spend time after class help you get in some extra practice. I always look forward coming to class, and I highly recommend the Phoenix Way to anyone looking

Phoenix Way has been a great experience for both our son and our daughter. The program has not just taught them karate/MMA for self defense... its also helped them developed particular life skills and stress management techniques. The owner is great with kids and adults. The other instructors are all accomplished students so there is a really tight knit bond with everyone that participates... great sense of community. The facility is immaculate, very well kept and the equipment is all top quality. You won't find a better place to train or learn

A friend recommended I reach out to Shihan Anthony to get back into the dojo. I have had some past experience and really wanted to get training again, plus I wanted to get rid of some of my midsection. When I met Shihan, everything my friend said was on point. He's professional, courteous, supportive, and motivational. He let me know exactly what I should expect from The Phoenix Way and the family atmosphere. He told me to go at my own pace and I will lose the unwanted weight and start to look good AND feel good doing it! The other students as well the other black belts aren't intimidating

I have been mixing it up at The Phoenix Way with my son. The core is Kyokushin with some classes in Crazy Monkey and a bit of Brazilian Ju Jitsu worked in. Getting a kick (no pun intended) out of watching my son grow in confidence and ability. For myself, getting back into fighting shape and learning a ton to boot. Simply loving it.

While some places might offer you just a "black belt" in exchange for your hard earned money, The Phoenix Way is different. Phoenix offers a path to success. Incredible instruction in MMA, Kyokushin, BJJ, Crazy Monkey Defence, and more. I have lost 50 lbs, and am in the best shape of my life. I've also find myself more confident, and focused in everyday life. If you are looking for someplace to better your fighting skills or yourself, this is the place!
